In Mrs. Kendall's class she seems to have pretty darn good control of her students, the only form of discipline I have seen her use is by moving a student to prevent further interruption or sending them to another table (away from the other desks). She watches her students closely, they know the rules and she explains them very clearly. If they are off task or fail to listen to her they are moved. No argument, they respect her as a teacher and an authority figure so she doesn't have any trouble. The school and all the classrooms have a few basic rules; keep hands/feet/and other objects to yourself, don't talk when the teacher is talking, be in your seat when you are supposed to, and a few other things. In various classrooms I have seen teachers distribute stickers for every good deed a student does, for example, being quiet when the rest of the class is being noisy. Or being in your seat when the bell rings.
Mrs. Kendall also uses signs for her students to follow as far as procedures. If he students are being too noisy and she needs to talk to them or get them to listen she raises her hand and waits for all of the students to follow. They usually do so very quickly. Once everyone is quiet she proceeds. She also has a very specific lesson plan and schedule. She follows this the most. If things happen such as a fire drill, etc. then she changes the schedule and adapts.
