  Case: What proactive techniques would you use to prevent discipline problems in your classroom?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A few things I would avoid saying if asked this question are: send the student to the office, yell at the student to stop, and coddle the student. I would want to stress to the interviewer that I would use proactive techniques such as enforcing classroom rules and procedures at all times so small disruptions here or there do not become larger disruptions on a regular basis. I would also mention that giving positive feedback to students who are on task and doing as expected in general can be a great motivator for other students who may be misbehaving simply to get attention.

Comments: Teachers need to be consistent and enforce the rules and expectations they have set forth for their students. When students are aware of expectations and see that they will be enforced, they tend to respond well.
