 Philosophy 2
Harry and Rosemary Wong’s
Preventing Management Problems

6
 Key Points of The Wong’s method.
❖ Begin by teaching students very thoroughly, the roles,
procedures, processes, and routines they were expected
to follow. Once students understand those requirements
and procedures, teachers are left free to focus almost
entirely on promoting learning.

❖ The first few days are devoted to two matters: (1)

clarifying the proper roles and responsibilities of students
and the teacher, and (2) teaching students exactly how to
follow the various procedures expected of them. The
results that follow will be good learning, good behavior,
and a thoroughly successful school year.

 How does The Wong’s method match my
teaching style?
Wong’s method is important and
relates to my teaching style because I
believe in teaching students rules and
procedures first, Establishing a solid
groundwork for students to
understand and be successful in
achieving success and growth is
crucial.

 How I’ll use The Wong’s Method in my
classroom.
I would use this method in my
classroom by establishing rules and
procedures from day one. I would
spend the first few weeks making sure
my students fully understand
procedures and rules. Leading to
fewer classroom interruptions and
creating an understanding and
accepting learning environment.

Fred Jones’ method relates to my teaching

style because I’m all about creating welcoming
environments that foster a love for learning
and also creating positive teacher-student
relationships that help students to be

 How I’ll use the Fred Jones’ method in my
classroom.

limit-setting, Say-See-Do Teaching,
