  1. Directive Control Behaviors R. Martin Reardon’s summary of Chapter 8 Glickman, C. D., Gordon, S. P. & Ross-Gordon, J. M. (2009), 114-122

  2. Readers Theater • Read the dialogue on p. 114 • Aim: • To gain a sense of how this might sound in the real world of the emotions of teachers Session 8: 8 slides

  3. History of Over-Reliance on Control • Historically, control used as first instead of last resort • Tying supervision to summative evaluation • Forcing teachers into generic “research based” (oversimplified) teaching methods • Trying to manipulate teachers into “participation” in decision • DC not for all teachers in all situations • Not to be used indefinitely • Necessary with some teachers & groups in some situations Session 8: 8 slides

  4. Issues in DC • Precision & frankness essential • Difficult to look in the eye & say “I want you to do….” • Connotes an adversarial relationship, but • Allows S to say what S is convinced will make a difference • Shows that S is willing to assume complete responsibility for outcome • Only appropriate for formal line authority • Time • Using DC judiciously saves time for decisions into which faculty input is too problematic • Response to “emergencies” • Irate parents, student defiance, graffiti removal, fire code violations Session 8: 8 slides

  5. Indications • Teacher functioning at very low levels of development • When teachers have too little general awareness of complexities in situation • S will be held totally accountable • S is committed to resolution & T are not; or when T prefers S to make decision • Emergency Session 8: 8 slides

  6. Key point… “Directive control behaviors are useful in limited circumstances when teachers possess little expertise, involvement, or interest with respect to an instructional problem and[/or when] time is short” (p. 121) Session 8: 8 slides
