causes of misbehavior.

scenarios, students will choose the appropriate teacher response ten
out of twelve times.

Ongoing Objective:
3. The learner will write and then be able to defend his or her own
behavior management philosophy.
 Rudolph Dreikurs
• Discipline = self-control based on social interest.
• Self-controlled students:
-show initiative
-make reasonable decisions
-assume responsibility
• Social interest: a comfortable and productive
classroom will benefit both themselves and others
and better meet each student’s personal needs

Autocratic

Authoritative
Dreikurs: Principle Teachings
When seeking attention, students talk out, show off, interrupt
others, and demand teacher attention
When seeking power, they drag their heels, make comments
under their breath, and sometimes try to show that the teacher
can’t make them do anything
When seeking revenge, they try to get back at the teacher and
other students by lying, subverting class activities, and
maliciously disrupting the class
When seeking to display inadequacy, they withdraw from class
activities and make no effort to learn

Procedures & Routines
 Introducing
The Teacher Behavior Continuum
• Teach students the behavior continuum
• Show them the silent cues
• Make it fun, but show them that you mean business. They
need to hear what your serious voice sounds like.
• If you get good at this, you can stop misbehavior before it gets
the chance to start- without interrupting the class!
• Explain that you expect the students to have self-control.
They should be able to fix their own behavior after a few
silent prompts from you!
• You are on their team. You HOPE that they will never have to
get their parents or principal involved!
 The Golden Rule
Do NOT stop the lesson!
