    1. William Glasser’s Noncoercive Discipline Irene Sakellis, Foula Sakellis, Jason Carl, Wynne Moyers April 28, 2005

    2. Logic Most misbehavior occurs when students are bored or frustrated by class expectations. Students whose basic needs are being met do not often misbehave in school. Curriculum is most effective when focused on what students consider to be important. The best teaching is done in a leading manner rather than a bossing manner.

    3. Glasser’s Contribution to Discipline Students choose to behave as they do. No unseen factors are forcing them to do this or that. All human behavior is purposeful. We are responsible for our own behavior. All of our behavior is our best attempt to satisfy one or more of the five basic needs built into our genetic structure.

    4. Basic Student Needs Survival Belonging Power Fun Freedom

    5. Quality Teaching Provide a warm, supportive classroom climate. Use lead teaching rather than boss teaching. Ask students only to do work that is useful. Always ask students to do the best they can.

    6. Continued Ask students to evaluate work they have done and improve it. Help students recognize that doing quality work makes them feel good. Help students see that quality work is never destructive to oneself, others, or the environment.

    7. Boss Teachers Sets the task and standards for student learning. Talk rather than demonstrate and rarely ask for student input. Grade the work without involving students in the evaluation. Use coercion to ensure students comply with expectations.

    8. Lead Teachers Discuss a curriculum with the class in such a way that many topics of interest are identified. Encourage students to identify topics they will like to explore in depth. Discuss with students the nature of the school work that might ensue, emphasizing quality and asking for inputs on criteria of quality.

    9. Continued Explore with students resources that might be needed for quality work and the amount of time such work might require. Demonstrate ways in which the work can be done, using models that reflect quality.

    10. Continued Emphasize the importance of students’ continually inspecting and evaluating their own work in terms of quality. Make evident to students that everything possible will be done to provide them with good tools and a good work place that is noncoercive and nonadversarial.

    11. Seven Deadly Habits Criticizing Blaming Complaining Nagging Threatening Punishing Rewarding students to control themselves.

    13. Quality Schools Relationships are based on trust and respect, and all discipline problems have disappeared. Total learning competence is stressed. Students and staff are taught to use Choice Theory in their lives and in their work at school.

    14. Continued Students score significantly above average on proficiency tests and college entrance exams. Staff, students, parents and administrators view the school as a joyful place.

    15. Glasser’s Strengths Teachers function more effectively as leaders who provide continual support and encouragement but do not coerce, intimidate or punish. In schools and classes that operate on the basis of quality, discipline problems will be few and relatively easily resolved. His procedures for increasing quality in teaching and learning can be put gradually into practice. Helps students learn well and enjoy school while becoming more self-directing and responsible.
