Assertion Skillsand Confrontation Authentic Classroom Management Chapter 9, pages 333-345
Assertion Skills • Clearly communicates your needs in a manner that does not deny the needs of other parties • Parent Conferences • Dealing with Administrators • Working with support staff • Confrontations
Example of AssertionPg. 333-334 • Situation 3: You are a team teaching, but you’re doing all the planning, teaching, interacting and evaluating of students. You Say: “We’ve agreed to teamteach and yet I seem to be doing all the work. I’d like to talk about changing this.”
Three Types of Assertions • Simple Assertion: Direct, honest, and appropriate expressions for your rights by stating needs, wants and intentions. “I don’t want to see that again.” • Validating Assertion: Conveying recognition of the other person’s situation and feelings. “I know your angry James, but I want you to stop yelling.” • Escalating Assertion: Increase in intensity or forcefulness. “Put that away now.”
Ask Yourself? • Did I avoid direct or implied message of blame? • Did I describe rather then label behavior? • Did I clarify the impact the behavior had on me? • Did I take responsibility for my own feeling? • Did I express how I was feeling?
Confrontation • Be honest and not demanding so students will take the problem seriously, but not become discouraged. • Get to the point • Be specific and describe the problem • Create a positive outcome for all parties • Get student commitment to change
