 "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."
–John McNeil, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, UCLA
Patrick Traynor, Ph.D.

 “The practical tried and true strategies will work


with all students with behavioral issues. A good
read with great advice.”
–Sue Watson, Counselor, Special Education Teacher

 “I wish this message could get through to every


teacher, administrator, and parent who is in
contact with a child who has ADD/ADHD.”

Albert, 1996; Coloroso, 1994; Steinberg, Dornbush, & Brown, 1992

 Lenient Rigid
– Low expectations –Low tolerance
– Allows disruptions –Coercive
– Friendship –Unfairness

Moderate
–Self-control
–Consistency
–Holds students accountable

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,
& Ramsey, 1995)

Perception, Skill, Attitude
(Chapter 3)
• Enactment of practices depends on:
• Perception: Ability to perceive behavior that
requires attention
• Skill: Ability to select and implement an
appropriate practice
• Attitude: Interest or willingness toward
enacting a particular practice

Perception, Skill, Attitude
 Consider the Venn diagram continuum model
of classroom management practices just
presented and on page 5 of the text. In pairs
discuss the following and be prepared to share:
– Which effective category of practices would a
lenient teacher have the most difficulty enacting?
– Which factors: perception, skill, or attitude do
you think would be the source of such difficulty?
– Answer the same questions for a rigid teacher.

Evaluating Perception, Skill, and
Attitude
 To heighten perception, a teacher can
– Increase awareness of possible insidious
behaviors (Lenient Practices – Chapters 4-11)
or that kids are fearful or overly defiant of an
overbearing teacher (Rigid Practices – Chapters
22-24)
– Increase awareness of effectiveness and
ineffectiveness of responses to student
behaviors (All of Part II – Chapters 4-24)

C) Traynor 2005
Evaluating Perception, Skill, and
Attitude
 To increase skill, a teacher can
– Increase knowledge base of effective practices
(Nurturing – Chapters 12-14; Indirect –
Chapters 15-18; Direct – Chapters 19-21)
– Reflect on effectiveness of own practices

Evaluating Perception, Skill, and
Attitude
 For a better attitude, a teacher can
– Put practices into an organized framework to
simplify enactment (Page 5 Venn Continuum
Model)
– Realize that enactment of even select strategies
greatly increases effectiveness of learning
environment. Decrease in stress, parent
complaints, and administrative intervention.

Lenient Practices
(Part II Category I)
 With a partner, read a brief case episode at
the beginning of one of the chapters, 4-11.
– Discuss how this teacher should have handled
the situation, or what practice should this teacher
have applied? Be prepared to share with group.
– Into which category would you place your
recommended practice: Nurturing, Indirect, or
Direct?

Lenient Practices
 Restroom Passes (Chapter 4)
– Issues to consider
» Accident avoidance
» Should avoid being perceived as too rigid
» Allowance leads to persistent disruptions as the
norm
» Allowance by several teachers leads to school
disruptions

Click Here to Order www.GotDiscipline.com ( 20


C) Traynor 2005
Lenient Practices
 Restroom Passes
– Possible fair and reasonable strategies
» Spend the amount of time from class after class
» Three restroom passes per quarter; unused passes
worth “points”
 For grading, activities, passes for other events, etc.
 Students who need more than three can see teacher for
more
– teacher can work out solution individually with
student and/or family
– Isolates over users and makes their behavior more
manageable

Click Here to Order www.GotDiscipline.com ( 21


C) Traynor 2005
Lenient Practices
 Avoidance (Chapter 5)
– Ignoring misbehavior that will not go away
automatically contributes to an escalation
– Many behaviors need effective indirect or direct
interventions

Lenient Practices
 Use of Humor (Chapter 6)
– Often misinterpreted
» Friendly humor often confused for malicious intent
» Humor to communicate disapproval communicates
tolerance
– Even though humor can make communicating
praise less awkward
– If humor is part of classroom culture, teacher
should be prepared for disciplinary intervention
more frequently

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

C) Traynor 2005
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

C) Traynor 2005
Lenient Practices
 Providing General Directives (Chapter 9)
– Communicates that maladaptive behavior,
although not desired, will be tolerated and is
acceptable.
» “Keep it down” vs. “Stop talking”
» “Come on guys, let’s get busy” vs. “complete your
assignment right now”
» “We need it clean in hear before we leave” vs.
“Everyone pick up two pieces of trash, place them
in the trash can, and return to your seat”
– Students need clear unambiguous directives

C) Traynor 2005
Lenient Practices
 Reinforcing Callouts (Chapter 10)
– Contributes to “free for all” dialogue with
disruptions

raising procedure

allow to interrupt dialogue

relationships.” (DeMarrais and LeCompte,

Justification for Managing Behavior
(Part IV)
 Practices in book are based on premise that
behavior must be managed
 Some put forth that if students understand
why rules are necessary they will naturally
follow them (Sarason, 1990)
 Others argue that simply enforcing preset
rules without student input into their creation
will preclude student understanding of why
rules are necessary (Kohn, 1996)
