  5. Teacher Responsibilities • Teach students to make good choices, increasing good behavior • Create an environment where children can experience a sense of belonging • Help students to evaluate and correct their own behavior by using a nine-step questioning process (listed on the following page) • Hold students accountable for their choices: Accept NO EXCUSES • Help students to understand that their actions affect others • Openly recognize students who follow the rules and display appropriate behavior • Provide support and encouragement

  6. The Nine Steps in Glasser’s Reality Therapy Model The Student is confronted and told to stop the misbehavior. The student is then asked to explain the behavior that was occurring. The teacher uses “What” questions, not “Why”. This prevents the student from finding excuses. If the rule-breaking behavior continues, step 2 is repeated, adding the question, “Is it against the rules?” The teacher asks the student to make a plan or commitment to find alternatives.

  7. The Nine Steps in Glasser’s Reality Therapy Model • Sometimes the students may be asked to go to the “castle” until the problem is resolved. • If the rule-breaking behavior still persists, steps 2-5 are repeated but the teacher indicates that support will be provided. The teacher arranges specific time and location in the near future to help in the development of the plan and to provide encouragement for it to work.

  8. The Nine Steps in Glasser’s Reality Therapy Model • 7. If the student fails to fulfill his or her commitment and plan, the next step is • isolation to a designated room (Principals office or Special Isolation Room). • 8. Finally, if the student is out of control, the parents are notified and asked to • collect the student immediately. The student may return to the school when he or • she obeys the rules. • 9. If all else fails, the parents and students are referred to an outside agency to • “work it out.” • Throughout this process, the focus is on the student’s BEHAVIOR, not the STUDENT.

  9. Student Responsibilities • Actively participate in all classroom activities • Work as a class to create a set of rules and consequences for when those rules are broken. • Learn to work in groups of students with varying levels of skills and abilities. • Recognize and self-correct inappropriate behaviors • Accept responsibility for their actions and know the consequences of those actions.
