Teachers (PLEASE HELP) - Mini-interview regarding Classroom Management

[VanillaSkyGirl 6]

Hello teachers,
I am writing some papers regarding classroom management, that is specific to grade school-level teachers. At the moment, I am especially interest in teaching the third grade. I am, however, open to hearing from teachers of any grade-level. Could educators please PM (or post) answers to these questions. This is a mini-interview meant for one person, but I'd like to hear from various teachers for my own benefit.

Teachers, your answers can be as brief or detailed as you'd like. You can skip questions, and you may add any more information or advice that you'd like to give to me. Thank you so much.

Here is my mini-interview:

1. Where do you teach, and what is the grade-level of your students?


2. What is the approximate socio-economic break-down of your class/students?


3. Can you give a brief description of your classroom layout? Why do you have your classroom layout arranged in the way in which it is arranged?


4. What is your style of classroom management?


5. How do you prefer to interact with your students? What kind of teacher/student relationship do you try to create with the students?


6. What discipline model do you use within in the classroom, and how did you develop your personal style of management and/or discipline model?


7. Is the same discipline model used throughout the school?


8. Can you give me incidents of mutual respect (teacher/student), which have occurred within your classroom?


9. Do you have any preventive procedures and/or activities?


10. How do you deal with the parent/guardian of a disruptive child?

Yes, I know who he is, and I have read his book/interviews, etc. on classroom management. It is part of my recommended reading.
