NEA-10 Approaches to Better Classroom Discipline

The Simple Authority Statement

"With a simple authority statement, teachers can exercise authority with minimum distress and emotion. By employing this strategy, you also show students how a person can use authority respectfully and reasonably. The Strategy calls for the teacher to voice disapproval authoritatively, promptly, and as unemotionally as possible."
