Classroom and Behavior Management Framework Classroom Management Models Kagan, Kyle, and Scott’s Win-Win Discipline Kagan, Kyle, and Scott’s Win-Win Discipline builds on the principle that discipline is not something that is done to the child, but rather something that you assist the student attain (Kagan, Kyle & Scott, 2004). There are three pillars to this discipline system as with other behavior system that offer different tiers or sections. The three pillars are same side approach, collaborative solutions, and shared responsibility. One strength of this system is that it removes combative relationships between teachers and students. Other strengths include that this behavior system places all parties on the same side and not against each other, and it implements prevalent structure. Some weaknesses include that it draws attention to student misbehaviors, gives students too much domination in the classroom, students may become distracted by meeting their behavior needs and not educational ones. Fred Jones Positive Classroom Discipline Like other discipline models, Fred Jones Positive Classroom Discipline has different sections called legs in this case. The structure of the classroom management system is referred to as the four legs of the chair of discipline. These four legs are limit setting, responsibility training, omission training, and backup system. The backup system is only used if a student’s behavior cannot be managed within the four legs. This classroom management system differs from Kagan, Kyle, and Scott because it offers incentives to do desired activities if proper behavior is displayed (Jones, 1987). Some strengths of the Fred Jones Positive Classroom Discipline is that it teaches student responsibility of their behavior and prevents behavior issues beforehand.

Another plus is that it implements incentives for the whole class and not just for the nonproblematic students. Weaknesses of this system is that it takes a great deal of time to train for and teach these strategies, and students do not always pick up on the body language procedures of the system. Behavior Management Systems PBIS Positive Behavioral Interventions and Strategies PBIS uses a three-tier system like most other behavior management systems to implement a positive atmosphere for the school campus. Data is taken daily on students and is used to create a plan for behavioral management. It is a proven system to manage behavior in the school setting (Bradshaw, Koth, Bevans, Ialongo, & Leaf, 2008). It is a universal system that can even support students with disabilities. Some strengths of PBIS are better student behavior and decreased office referrals. A weakness is that it is an intensive program that requires a great deal of time to start up and manage. S.T.A.R. (Stop, Think, Act, Review) The S.T.A.R. behavior system is a system that was developed for elementary schools, preferably kindergarten through 6th grade. Unlike PBIS, this system is developed with virtues and themes to teach students to take responsibility for their own behavior (McClelland & Tominey, 2015). Each month a new virtue and theme is introduced to students. Some strengths of this behavior system are that it creates students that are self-regulating and accept consequences for their actions. It also gives them the ability to solve problems and conflicts on their own. One weakness to be considered is this system was developed for a class and not a whole school which makes it hard to see progress.

Reflection Classroom management begins on the first day of school. Teachers should make every effort to have an organized classroom, rules and procedures posted around the classroom, and a strategic plan on their rewards and consequences system on the first day of class (Shafer, 2017). All of these elements set the platform for a successful school year with few as possible interruptions. Students should understand how to obtain what they need to be successful and how to ask for what they need in the proper way. The teacher should get to know students’ needs and continually adapt their classroom and behavior management systems accordingly. I plan to incorporate Kagan, Kyle, and Scott’s Win-Win Discipline system into my future classroom as well as some of Fred Jones Positive Classroom Discipline strategies. These two strategies use framework to assist students in attaining positive behavior. For behavior management, I would like to incorporate the Positive Behavior Intervention and Strategies (PBIS) and Stop, Think, Act, Review (S.T.A.R.) behavior management systems into my classroom. The combination of the virtues taught with the S.T.A.R. system and the positive reinforcements and data collected in the PBIS system is well-combined system for successful behavior management. S.T.A.R. teaches students to take responsibility for their misbehaviors and time to reflect on why they did it and what they can do differently next time (McClelland & Tominey, 2015). PBIS and S.T.A.R will reach even the most diverse students of today’s classrooms, and that is the ultimate goal for all students to have the best possible atmosphere to foster their learning needs.
