- 1. Make notes in your journal concerning elements from Jones' model that contribute to the five principles of building a personal system
of discipline.
- 2. For each of the following scenarios, first identify the problem that underlies the undesired behavior, then describe how Jones would
have the teacher deal with it.
- a. Mr. Anton tries to help all of his students during independent work time but finds himself unable to get around to all who have
their hands raised.
- b. Ms. Sevier wants to show trust for her class. She accepts their promise to work hard if she will allow them first to listen to a
few favorite recordings. After listening, the students talk so much that they fail to get their work done.
- c. Mr. Gregory wears himself out every day dealing ceaselessly with three class clowns who disrupt his lessons. The other students
always laugh at the clowns' antics.
- d. Ms. Swanson, who takes pride in her lectures, is becoming frustrated because students begin to gaze out the window and
whisper before she has completed what she wants to tell them.
