Reflection on Learning
Student discipline is one of the most important elements in the establishment of a safe learning environment for all students. A safe learning environment is in turn the premise with which students thrive as they work towards achieving desired academic goals. In this regard, teachers need to work with other school staff and the school administration towards enforcing and ensuring student discipline. Consequently, teachers engage in classroom discipline and behavior management as part of their efforts to enhance student discipline in the instructional environment. However, teachers need to understand the various aspects or factors that affect effective classroom discipline and behavior management as well as the significance of utilizing a preventative approach like a Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS).
Influence of Grade and Building Levels
As previously mentioned, classroom discipline and behavior management is affected by various factors that determine the effectiveness of initiatives or approaches adopted by teachers to enhance student discipline. One of the influential factors in classroom discipline and behavior management is what happens at the grade and building levels.

According to Bales, 1999, the concept behind SYMLOG is that "every act of behavior takes place in a larger context, that it is a part of an interactive field of influences." Further, "the approach assumes that one needs to understand the larger context -- person, interpersonal, group, and external situation -- in order to understand the patterns of behavior and to influence them successfully." With SYMLOG, measurement procedures are
Teaching -- Classroom Management Discipline in Classroom - Problems and Solutions Classroom management is the phrase that teachers use to explain the act of managing their classroom and students to make sure those stressful and non-educational circumstances are avoided and students learn subjects successfully.

Students with special needs are at an increased risk fro having low self-esteem which can often impact their potential for achievement. The best way to overcome this is to reinforce students with positive behaviors and help them work through challenges they may be facing daily. Glasser (1984) developed a theory that suggests that students need to be taught to control their behavior in order to succeed, and thus the role
..control the environment by implementing a logical system (the teacher's, of course) of conditioning." (Tauber, 1999, p. 19) in this context the teacher is seen as an "interventionist" in that he or she has to control and dictate the learning and behavioral environment. "By accepting a position as a teacher, a person has not only the right but an 'obligation' to modify student behavior" (Axelrod, 1977, p. 158). In essence
Managing Behaviors & Teaching Social Skills Antisocial behavior in schools in on the rise and has become a concern in school systems, from both a learning perspective and from a safety perspective, as well. Previously, schools have dealt with such behaviors using punitive measures such as expulsion, or even law enforcement measures to attempt to discourage youth from behaving in an undesirable manner. These programs have had little or no effect
