This journal study is the second part of the Jones and Miller study. In reviewing the study Jones and Eimers found that to have good classroom management, teacher need to focus on the management of group behavior, relying primarily upon social contingencies to control disruptive and on-task behavior, and by developing performance-oriented teacher-training procedures. They continue on in describing how to achieve these in the classroom.
This study proves to teachers that the Fred Jones approach to classroom management works. The study provides examples of what to do in the classroom with Fred Jones’ classroom management.

In this record study, it discusses two main points which are successful discipline management in the classroom and successful staff development. This is the initial study of understanding and finding out what a “natural” teacher is and what they do different to make them the “natural” teachers. A seminar was given to the teachers on the Fred Jones model of positive classroom management. Jones and Miller continued to review the classroom management after the seminar and found that disruptions dropped by 56% and the ignoring of disruptions dropped by 73.5%.
This study shows that Fred Jones’ approach to positive classroom management is effective and that all teachers need to attend his seminar. The positive classroom management approach allows teachers to create a management foundation for their own classroom. Since the teachers that they observed lost so much time that could be turned into learning time, this approach will allow teacher to solve that problem as well as other significant problems dealing with management.
