Assertive DisciplineŽ - 3rd Edition Positive Behavior Management for Today's Classroom
Prevent behaviour problems by learning proactive techniques that teach pupils how to make responsible behaviour choices all day long.
This is the 'bible' of classroom behaviour management. Now in its 3rd edition it describes in clear and practical terms how to establish the conditions for learning, how to win over 'the floating voters' and how to relieve the stress on yourself! Prevent behaviour problems by learning proactive techniques that teach pupils how to make responsible behaviour choices all day long. This book outlines a three-step approach for positive behaviour management by creating a classroom discipline plan that includes:
1. Ground Rules - simple but fundamental expectations that guide classroom behaviour
2. Supportive feedback - to improve motivation and reinforce appropriate behaviour, and to shift the emphasis from negative to positive
3. Corrective actions - putting limits on inappropriate behaviour in a consistent, calm and assertive manner.
Assertive Discipline® particularly emphasises the last two steps to help teachers provide non-judgmental feedback to pupils in a way that recognises their efforts but also corrects their actions. Most importantly, the new edition stresses the importance of building positive relationships with pupils, which is vital for their success.
