Management vs Discipline
Classroom Management
Proactive – prevents problems before they
happen.
Focuses on creating routines, rules,
and a positive learning environment.

door, setting seating arrangements,
teaching procedures.

learning smoothly.
Discipline
Reactive – responds to problems after they
happen.
Focuses on correcting misbehavior.
Example: Giving a warning for talking
out of turn, assigning detention for
repeated misbehavior.
Goal: Stop disruptions and encourage
responsibility.
