Behaviour Management

Strategies

Leadership is…

“Leadership is an activity and an influence process in which an individual gains the trust and

commitment of others and without recourse to formal position or

authority moves the group to the accomplishment of one or more

tasks”.(Dinkmeyer & Eckstein p2)

Leadership• Leaders are trained, not merely born• As stress increases it interferes with effective

leadership• There is no evidence to indicate a significant

difference between good male and female leaders

• Leader/follower compatibility dictates success

Leadership Theories

• Choice Theory – William Glasser

• Positive Behaviour - Bill Rogers

• Democratic/Neo-Adlerian – Dinkmeyer, Dreikurs, Ginott

Core Principles

• We always have control over what we do.

• Leadership is based on the rights, respect and relationship of the teacher and student.

• Students should be given a choice rather than be forced to behave as directed.

What is the ratio of teachers’ control and students’

autonomy for the Leadership model of Behaviour

Management? 1. 100% teacher control2. 75% teacher control; 25%

student autonomy3. 50% teacher control; 50%

student autonomy4. 25% teacher control; 75%

student autonomy5. 100% student autonomy

What is not a core principle of the

Leadership model?

1. We always have control over what we do.

2. Leadership is based on the rights, respect and relationship of the teacher and student.

3. Students are to behave as directed.

Individual Students Applications

• Teachers should be careful not to add restrictions when they offer compliments to their students.

• Teachers should appreciate students who have diverse abilities, not just those who perform well on tasks.

• Teachers and students should have equal standing in the classroom.

• Teachers should let students have a say in what they learn and how they learn it.

• Teachers who are democratic will be more successful in helping students evaluate their own work and improve.

The impact on classroom organisation

• It helps students to gain control and act in a more responsible manner.

• Student are aware of what is expected of them both behaviourally & academically.

• It creates order necessary for learning to occur, to guide students to exercise self-discipline, promote co-operation and reduce competition.

Is this statement reflective of the Leadership Model?

“Your drawing is very elaborate but you must remember to

incorporate proper perspective”.

1. Yes2. No 3. Unsure

As a democratic teacher what would you do if a student misbehaves in

class?

1. Use threats2. Be vindictive with the

student3. Give the student a

choice4. Make the student

promise not to misbehave again

The Leadership Model impacts on the classroom

organisation by:

1. Teacher taking firm control2. Helping students to have a

sense of control and act in a more responsible manner

3. Teacher promoting rebellion

4. Teacher not following any logical consequence with behaviour

Facilitation of student development

• It allows students to be aware of their behaviour. It gets them to think about what they are doing and what they should be doing.

• Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own choices & accept any consequences.

• It focuses on the students feelings of inclusivity & helps them build friendships within the class.

social development?

1. Yes2. No3. Not sure

Challenges• It assumes that all students needs are the

same• It takes time to implement• It works best when implemented by the

whole school rather than individual classroom

• Using encouragement rather than praise may be alien and not natural to some

• Difficult for teachers to see difference between mistaken goals, feelings of inadequacy for all students all the time

• Not enough guidance on how to put immediate stop to defiance in classroom.

“Your artwork is fantastic”. Is this

statement characteristic of the Leadership Model?
