Chapter 1 - Christensen

This chapter was really interesting to me because I am very interested in this type of teaching. Even though it might not exactly apply to my class (Political Science) it will still help me as far as reaching out to students and different type of beginning of the year ice breakers. As far as the discipline part of the chapter, it was really interesting that a teacher was able to see the error of their ways and fix it in such a quick and vital way to a students success. By understanding that by throwing a kid out of class it actually hinders their learning is crucial and fixing that problem to actually deal with their problems and skills that need to be worked on is amazing.
