Educational Leadership and Common Discipline Issues of Elementary School Children and How to Deal with Them

Abstract

Discipline issues are obstacles towards childhood learning in elementary school settings. There are a number of factors which positively and negatively affect a student's behavior in the classroom, and past literature was explored and an analysis of that literature performed in order to obtain a clear idea about the techniques, relationships, and structures that are conducive towards fostering positive behavior among children in the classroom, such as leadership of teachers and administration in schools. Close coordination between parents and teachers, the building and maintaining of a trustful environment in the class, a solid support structure that teachers can rely on, and good methods for communication between teachers and students all help in creating a positive learning environment and reducing the behavioral issues exhibited by children that can slow down the pace of learning.
