Classroom Discipline Kerry Bresslin
How I was Raised? • Both my mom and dad were strict. • Assertive Discipline • 2 older twin brothers • Stricter with them • Encouraged ALL of us to be active • Academics/sports/clubs • Taught us to own up to our mistakes • Especially my mom
strategies in the classroom… • Color Chart-elementary students • Names/checkmarks on the board-middle school students • Discipline Referrals-high school students
Color CHART -Outstanding -Great Job -Good Day -Ready to Learn (all students start out at this color everyday) -Think About It -Teacher’s Choice -Parent Contact
Current Model • Lee and Marlene Canter: • Take-charge (Assertive Discipline Model) • “Alpha Male” • “Taking Charge-Empowered Teachers” • Teacher Expectations • State expectations/demands • Response Styles • Assertive, hostile and nonassertive • Rules and a Discipline Plan • “The best defense is a good offense.” • Positive Recognition • Praise Every Child Every Day! • I Like Messages… • Praise-directed statements
Current Model • Lee and Marlene Canter: • Pitting One Child Against Another • Winners and Losers • Delivering Your Assertive Message Assertively • Firm, calm, confident and businesslike • I-Messages • How it affects the teacher and how the teacher wants the behavior to change • Does Assertive Discipline Work? • This lies within the individual educator • Punished by Rewards? • No • Punished by Lack of Rewards? • No
coaching • Lee and Marlene Canter: • Assertive Discipline • Behaviorists, like me, believe in a win-lose world • I believe this prepares them for the “real world.”
Future plans • Fredric H. Jones: Tools for Teaching • I have some aspects of “Jones” in my discipline model. • Responsibility Training (PATS) • “PITT” PAWS • The more the students manage themselves, the less the teacher has to manage them. • Currently, I fall between Canter and Jones, but I push more towards the Canter Model. • This works for me.
