"I found the descriptions of the teachers to be
excellent. Each teacher came to life and in
reading about the classroom interactions, it was
like a visit to the classroom. Excellent in the
range of observations and carefully drawn
inferences."

Consequences of Three Approaches
• Lenient
– Comfort at expense of subject matter (Cusick, 1983)
– Contributes to an inability to learn (Grant, 1988; Walker, Colvin &
Ramsey, 1995)
• Rigid
– Decreases joy of learning (Moore, 1967)
– Defiant attitude (Brophy, 1983)
– Escalate misbehavior (Walker, Colvin & Ramsey, 1995)
• Moderate
– Students internalize self-discipline (Charles, 1999)
– Preserves student dignity (Gaddy & Kelley, 1984; Walker, Colvin,

Lenient Practices
No Assignment (Chapter 7)
– Students in close quarters have a natural
propensity toward disorder
» If not engaged, will converse, tease, laugh, throw,
horseplay, rough house, etc.
– At every moment, the students should have a
productive activity
» The more available the teacher is, the more complex
the activity can be
» If teacher is occupied in roll call, the activity should
require very little teacher attention

Lenient Practices
Non-monitoring (Chapter 8)
– Allows students to manifest their natural
propensity toward disorder
– To determine if more monitoring is needed:
» the next few times maladaptive behavior occurs, a
teacher should reflectively ask
“Was I monitoring or not monitoring?”
If the answer is “not monitoring” more often than
“monitoring,” more monitoring is probably needed
