Hi all! I am an undergraduate PreK-3 student at the University of Tennessee. I am currently taking a classroom management course and my first assignment is to interview a teacher. Unfortunately, I don't know any teachers that are within the grade level (or even close) that I would like to teach. I was curious as to if anyone would interested in answering a few questions about classroom management. I will list the questions below. Feel free to respond and your help is VERY appreciated! I definitely need as many tips as I can possibly get about classroom management. I feel that this may be my greatest challenge once I begin teaching.
Thank you in advance! If you would prefer to send your reply to my privately in an email or private message, that will be fine. :)

2. How do you get students to do what you want them to do? Describe your system of classroom management.
3. How do you get students to develop self-discipline? Can you teach this?
4. Who should be responsible for the discipline in the school?
5. If you have a student disrupting your classroom, what steps do you take to solve this problem?
6. What is your attitude towards individual vs. total class punishment?
7. Compare negative and positive reinforcement and describe effects of each.
8. Describe a memorable student in your grade/subject area – his/her personality, study habits, or attitude toward learning and behavior characteristics. What made this student memorable?
9. What is your biggest discipline problem? How do you address it?
10. Describe how your classroom’s physical environment either enhances or detracts from student behavior.
