1. ClassroomManagement Case Study
Case 1: On the first day of school, no one could tell if Tamara was a boy or a girl. She
showed up new to our school dressed as tiny little nine year old gang member, baseball hat,
puffy coat, mean expression. A few private get to know you conversations convinced me it
was all an act…that needed to be cut of before it became the real thing
First of all, I need to understand the behavior of my student Tamara. I would recommend
the Preventative Discipline for to provide proactive interventions to potential disruptive
behaviors by clearly explaining to the student what behavior are appropriate and what are a
bit of wrong. Preventative discipline strategies create a safe, no confrontational class
atmosphere in which students feel that they understand what is to come.
The teacher must provide to the student with suggestions and options for correcting a
behavior before a consequences if is necessary.
As a teacher I think would be a good idea to give a piece of advice to Tamara about her
dress and look, after some conversations with her , I realized that she was a smart girl and
his physical appearance describes her current state as teenager
