Key Features of Canter Assertive Discipline Model
The Right to Learn :pencil2:
Students with good behaviour have the right to learn without being interrupted in a classroom. This means that, the teacher must discipline badly behaved students. Canter also states that students are entitled to learn from a compassionate educator who has the best interests of their students at heart.
10.Proactive Discipline > Reactive Discipline :smiley:
Proactive discipline involves anticipating poor behavior and making a plan on how to prevent it. Reactive discipline involves waiting until a student has misbehaved before coming up with a disciplinary response.
3.Teachers must be in Control :lock:
The teacher, as the adult in the room, has the responsibility and duty to control the classroom environment.
7.Firm Consequences :check:
When students overstep boundaries, consequences must follow. These consequences must be written down in advance (on the discipline plan), followed-through in all instances, and applied equally to all students. By following-through with your consequences plan, students learn that the rules are serious and must be respected.
8.Behaviors should be taught through Modelled and Direct Instruction :silhouette:
To earn the respect and trust of students, teachers should always behave within the guidelines of the rules they have set out for students.
5.Positive Reinforcement :<3:
Teachers should ‘catch’ students who are behaving well within the classroom and provide rewards and praise for that positive behavior and publicly acknowledge positive behaviors of one student in front of the whole class.
Teacher should build positive relationship with students :<3:
They believe that discipline in the classroom is easiest to achieve when students trust and respect their teacher
4.Clear Boundaries must be Set :warning:
A teacher needs to develop a clear discipline plan. This plan should unambiguously state the boundaries of appropriate vs. inappropriate behaviors in the classroom.
Positive Repetition :star:
Examples of restating rules in acknowledgement include: “Aishah waited at the door before getting permission to enter. Great job, Aishah!” The rule in this case would have been to “Wait at the door to get permission before entering.”
The Right to Teach :pen:
Teachers should be given the same right to a peaceful working environment as other professionals. Students who misbehave or are rude undermine a teacher’s rights at work.
It is possible to teach " Difficult " students :unlock:
As Canter’s original research in classroom management took place with students with special needs, Canter argued that most students will react well to an assertive discipline approach, including more ‘difficult’ students.
