My Classroom Management (Discipline)

  • Assertive - Teacher in Charge
  • Behaviorism - operant conditioning / positive & negative reinforcement
  • Choice Theory (Control Theory)

Assertive

  • Teacher in charge
  • Clear rules & expectations
  • Clear consequences & consistent application

Behaviorism

  • Operant Conditioning / Favorable = more likely Unfavorable = less likely
  • Positive & Negative Reinforcement
  • Consequences/Punishment

Choice Theory (Control Theory)

  • Behavior is driven by needs: Survival, Belonging, Power, Freedom, Fun
  • When basic needs are met, better choices are more likely
