William Glasser’s Noncoercive Discipline

Presented By: Bethany Duke, Genny Fitzgerald Anna Gilbert, Candace Pianka

and William Tignor

Class Meetings •  Discussion of class

concerns and problems

•  Sit in a circle

Students’ Needs •  All human beings share

common needs for: –  Survival –  Belonging –  Power –  Fun –  Freedom

•  Education that does not prioritize these needs is bound to fail.

•  Cooperative learning helps students meet these basic needs.

Quality School and Curriculum •  Boring lessons create an

environment where students do not pay attention

•  If lessons are interesting then students will not have to be forced to pay attention

•  Students should learn only what is useful and enjoyable –  There is too much

memorizing of irrelevant facts

•  Students decide what they want to go in depth in –  Topics that interest them

they will learn more successfully

6 Characteristics of a Quality School

•  Relationships are based on trust •  Competition for grades are eliminated and

replaced with a Total Learning Competency •  All students do some work that is beyond

competence and receives A-A+ •  Students and staff are taught Choice Theory

and parent involvement is encouraged •  State proficiency and college entrance exams

are the focus •  Staff, students, parents and administrators

view the school as a joyful place

Problems with Quality Teaching, Schools, and Curriculum

•  There is no way to make the curriculum statewide

•  Students’ interests vary and topics will be at a stand-off

•  Not everyone is looking to go to college •  The grading system is more of a pass/

fail based on effort

Boss Teachers vs. Lead Teachers

•  Move away from boss teachers towards lead teachers

•  Motivation cannot be provided for students

•  Students want to learn with lead teachers, but are unproductive with boss teachers

Boss Teachers •  Set the tasks and standards for student

learning •  Talk rather than demonstrate and rarely

ask for student input •  Grade the work without students in the

evaluation •  Use coercion when students resist

Lead Teachers •  Focuses on students’ needs and interests •  Two main time consumers: organizing interesting

activities and providing assistance to students •  Ask students what subjects they would like to

explore •  Ask for input on the subjects they are learning •  Demonstrate ways in which the work can be done,

using models that reflect quality •  Make sure students know that they are receiving the

best tools and means to create and get done the best work

•  Non-coercive and non-adversarial

Rules and Consequences •  Have the students

determine class rules that they think will help them get their work done and truly help them learn.

•  Once the students see the importance of courtesy, no other rules may be necessary.

•  Students should also determine the consequence for when a rule is broken.  

•  The best way to solve a problem is by looking for ways to remedy whatever is causing the rule to be broken.

•  Once the rules and consequences have been determined, they should be written down and all students should sign them as they promise to abide by them.

Reality Therapy •  Method of

counseling which teaches people how to direct their own lives, make more effective choices

•  We can choose behaviors that will help us better the future

Reality Therapy in the Classroom

•  Creating a trusting environment •  Using techniques which help a person

discover what they really want, reflect on what they are doing now, and create a new plan for fulfilling that “want” more effectively in the future

Ten Axioms of Choice Theory 1. The only person whose behavior we can control is our own. 2. All we can give another person is information. 3. All long- lasting psychological problems are relationship problems. 4. The problem relationship is always part of our present life. 5. What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today, but we can only satisfy our basic needs right now and plan to continue satisfying them in the future. 6. We can only satisfy our needs by satisfying the pictures in our Quality World. 7. All we do is behave. 8. All behavior is Total Behavior and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology. 9. All Total Behavior is chosen, but we only have direct control over the acting and thinking components. We can only control our feeling and physiology indirectly through how we choose to act and think. 10. All Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the part that is most recognizable.
