" 11 Techniques for Better Classroom Discipline"

The article"11 Techniques for Better Classroom Discipline" written by Thomas R. McDaniel, is mainly a recapitulation of certain techniques of teaching to consider or apply in the classroom. One of the techniques that the author recommends is “Modelling” which consists in that a teacher teaches through their own behaviour. And this is because teachers are models to their students. What the author mentions is something relevant to bear in mind. While they teach, do not exactly teach just contents, but they also do teach values and students are able to perceive those. Moreover, the point of teaching values is something important to be aware of in this society which seems to have lack of these nowadays.

On the other hand, the article is not entirely useful is some way. Probably, the phrase “the teacher is the boss…”is not completely suitable to recommend us. A teacher is not a boss , he or she is a guide in student’s live, even if the teacher can have a kind of power inside the classroom. Nevertheless, according to this article, it is really interesting to read and useful to have a large knowledge of what types of strategies teachers can use for.
