Student-Centered
Classroom Management Theory
 Student-centered classroom
management involves building
trust and sharing the
responsibility between teacher
and student (Freiburg, 2014)
 Teachers caring for
a student’s social
and emotional
needs
 Making sure all
students feel a
bond with their
school, classroom
and peers
 Students feel safe
in their school and

share respect and
responsibility with
others

 Teach students how to solve or prevent problems
 Give students the trust of doing things on their own and the trust
will be reciprocated
(Freiburg & Lamb, 2009)
Environmental Modifications to
Increase Student Learning
 Classroom structure
 Create areas in the room that are designated for certain tasks
 Reduce distractions
 Assign areas on the floor, desks or supply areas for each student
 Rules and routines
 Visually represent rules and routines
 Use cue words like first and then when establishing a new

learning needs when establishing
any classroom procedures
 Built in lesson strategies that

(Kirkpatrick, n.d.)
Discipline
Management
 For students with special learning needs, a
discipline management plan should
address those special needs by
considering
 In accordance with the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
2004 any student may be disciplined
using the student code of conduct
 Students with an IEP may have
discipline measures spelled out and
that all school employees must follow

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Developed in 1950s by Carl Rogers Adjusted in 1960s, with help of Freiburg, to be used in education field Solutions rest within the individual student Contrasted traditional behavior theories
  • #4 Rogers worked with Jerome Freiburg to establish a comprehensive approach to classroom management.
  • #9 Belief that students can control their own behaviors. Teachers responsibility is to help develop this ability and personal responsibility. This is done through curriculum that is related to real world concepts.
  • #11 Student notebooks, or folders, that allow students to keep themselves ordered
  • #16 Reward positive behavior Eliminate negative behaviors and replace them with prosocial skills Environment plays a major role Teachers use functional behavior assessment (FBA) to reveal antecedents, consequences, and frequency of challenging behavior.
  • #19 Traffic patterns are a major influence, especially during passing periods.
