By understanding the structure or dimensions of our beliefs, we can be more clear about whether we agree with someone, if our discipline plan follows our own internal standards and if our actions are consistent. There are many ways to discipline youngsters, to maintain a classroom and to structure content. Many teachers model the things they saw or learned in classrooms, for examples and experiences are powerful shapers of our own behavior. However, human beings are creative, resilient.

As you more clearly define what you believe, you have greater choice and flexibility in choosing classroom demeanor and behavior. Looking at your principles and underlying norms is a good first step in creating more flexibility and choice in your discipline of youngsters and honing your classroom management style.
