Win-Win Discipline: Spencer Kagan By: Jennifer Tuck and Allison Thompson ECED 3271-01
What is the win-win discipline theory? • The Win-Win Disciple Theory is a strategy that is used to handle a discipline problem at the moment that it occurs, targeting the root of the problem. • The root of the problem is said to be the students’ unfulfilled needs. • The purpose of this theory is to prevent behavior problems from occurring.
BASIC NEEDS played out • 1.) Needs are being met with no discipline problems. • 2.) Even though the students’ needs are not being satisfied, students are coping with unmet needs responsibly. • 3.) Kids are acting out as a result of unmet needs.
“THE 7 POSITIONS” • The position is defined as the students’ behavior as a result of unmet needs. • 1.) Attention seeking • 2.) Avoiding embarrassment • 3.) Anger venting • 4.) Control Seeking • 5.) Energetic • 6.) Bored • 7.) Uninformed
Win-win teachers • Must be accepting of the students’ position. • Must teach students how to deal with their positions maturely. • It is critical for a teacher to know their students’ positions in order for them to handle discipline problems effectively.
“The 5 p’s” • 1.) Pillars (Philosophy) I. Same Side II. Shared Responsibility III. Learned Responsibility • 2.) Procedures (Ounces of Prevention) • 3.) Positions (Places students are) • 4.) Process (Strategies for the moment of disruption and follow-ups) • 5.) Programs (Pounds of Prevention)
Key Points of the Win-Win Discipline Theory • The key purpose of the theory is to “promote life skills, cooperation, and critical thinking about choices and consequences” • It is important for children to be corrected instead of being punished in some way. • Why it is called The Win-Win Discipline Theory? When we meet the needs of the students in a responsible and respectful manner, bad behavior decreases; therefore they win. When teachers are able to teach their students in an environment that is safe and productive, they win. As a result, it is a “win-win proposition”.
