Here are some tips that could make a teacher a good disciplinarian:

 

1.  Be prepared to face a class with multi- behaviour. Each individual acts in a unique manner. Be   ready to react accordingly with them.

 

2.  Know your students well. In cases of misbehaviour, you can understand them easily and you will know how to react appropriately.

 

3.  Show that you care for them. Knowing that you care, will develop among them self-discipline.

 

4.  Be a role model, your good manners and positive attitude will be observed and duplicated by the learners.

6.  Be enthusiastic and have a sense of  humor. Laugh with your students.

 

7.   Be humble  in words and actions. Avoid punishments and words that can hurt student’s feelings.
