The Canter Model of Discipline-[|Link]

Assertivness and insistence are at the core of the Canter model.

Four key aspects provide a summary to what the model suggests:

1. Teachers should insist on decent, responsible behavior from their students. 2. Teacher failure, for practicle purposes, is synonymous with failure to maintain classroom discipline. 3. Many teachers labor under the delusion that discipline is stifling and inhumane. 4. Teachers have basic educational rights in the classroom that include:


 * The right to establish optimal learning environments.
 * The right to request and expect appropriate behavior
 * The right to receive help from administrators and parents when it is needed.

See the [|link] above for more key aspects.

Correct ideas about discipline: 1. Discipline is necessary for psychological security. 2. Discipline is necessary to prevent us from carrying out actions which would leave us with subsequent feelings of shame. 3. Discipline is necessary as a liberating influence that allows us to build up and expand our best traits and abilities. 4. Discipline is necessary to maintain an effective and efficient learning environment.
