Assertive DisciplineThe Canter Model BY: Regina Klotz Melissa Wannemacher
Assertive Discipline • A direct and positive approach making teachers and student successful
Model • Teachers insist on responsible behavior • When teachers fail, it is typically due to poor class control • Firm control maintained humanely is liberating • Teachers and students have basic rights
Teachers Basic Rights as Educators • Right to maintain an optimal setting for learning • Right to expect appropriate behavior • Right to expect help from administration and parents when appropriate
Students Basic Rights as Learners • The right to have teachers who help them develop by helping them limit self-destructive and inappropriate behaviors • The right to have appropriate support from their teachers for their appropriate behavior • The right to choose how to behave with advance knowledge of the consequences that will logically and certainly follow
Discipline Plan • State and teach expectations early • Persistence in stating expectations with “I” statements • Use clear, calm, firm voice and eye contact • Use non-verbal gestures that support the verbal statement • Influence student behavior without threats or shouting • Practice the broken record technique rather than escalating into an argument
Types of Teachers • Hostile - hostile • Nonassertive – wishy washy • Assertive – calm, firm, consistent The assertive teacher is more effective than the nonassertive or the hostile teacher
Assertive Discipline Steps • Recognize and remove roadblocks • Practice the use of assertive response styles • Learning to set limits • Learning to follow through on limits • Implementing a system of positive assertions
Rewards • Personal attention • Positive notes/phone calls to parents • Special awards • Special privileges • Material rewards • Home rewards • Group rewards
