Establish rules that lead to success

Call for value judgementStress pupil responsibilityPupil responsibility for their own behaviour is always kept in the forefront.

Discussions in which this responsibility is explored & clarified occur in classroom meetings.Establish rules that lead to success.Glasser considers class rules to be essential especially for pupils who have done poorly in school.

Rules should constantly be evaluated to see whether they are useful.

When no longer useful, they should be discarded or changed.Call for value judgementWhen pupils exhibit inappropriate behaviour, teachers should have them make value judgements about it.

Glasser (1997) suggest the following procedures when a pupil is misbehaving:iiPrivate conference between teacher and pupil

Teacher:What were you doing? Was it against the rules? What should you have been doing?

Student:(Agrees to proper course of behaviour)Student misbehaving

Teacher:What are you doing? Is it against the rules? What should you be doing?

Student:(Responds negatively , unacceptable)

Teacher:I would like to talk with you privatelyThe approaches/ strategies of Gordons ModelSeries of stepsThe first step is to use a graphic tool developed by Gordon called a Behaviour Window.
