4. For taking attendance at a high school level teachers shouldn’t waste time by calling each students name. They can either have spots for the students to go too and than he/she can scan for empty spots. Also the teacher could assign squad leaders and make groups than the squad leader can inform the teacher if there is anyone missing from their squad.

6. Some of the similarities among behavioral modification, authoritative discipline, and group process orientations of student control are that they are all ways of developing and maintaining a learning environment. They require rules and have certain expectations. The behavior modification model is based on reinforcement of behaviors through positive or negative consequences. This model requires preparation and effort continually on the part of the teacher and the rules are inflexible and never change. With the authoritative management system has a goal of self discipline and the rules and expectations change when the student becomes more self directed. Group process strategies are different in that they involve students in decision making, they are allowed to develop some of the rules that the teacher will enforce. Students resolve conflicts through discussion possibly using role play and conflict resolution.

7. Five things you can do to prevent small incidences of misbehavior from becoming large ones are maintain eye control, move physically closer to the student, clarify appropriate behavior,  ask students to stop what they are doing, and remove the student physically from the problem.
