Correct Answer
D. Assertive, discreetly using a desist, approaching student and use quiet communication regarding rules, least disruptive as possible.Explanation
Consistancy is the key to discipline so that no child feels they are being victimised. The most effective discipline does not make a student feel stupid, or a laughing stock of the class. A desist (a verbal or non verbal communication in relation to behaviour) is effective as it does not disrupt the pattern of the class (overlapping), thereby drawing attention to the students behaviour but allows the student to know that the behaviour they are engaging in is not appropriate. Preserving dignity is key when undertaking discipline.Rate this question:
