3. Behaviour Management Strategies

4. 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)

5. 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

6. Leadership Theories Choice Theory – William Glasser
Positive Behaviour - Bill Rogers
Democratic/Neo-Adlerian – Dinkmeyer, Dreikurs, Ginott

7. 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.

8. What is the ratio of teachers’ control and students’ autonomy for the Leadership model of Behaviour Management?
100% teacher control
75% teacher control; 25% student autonomy
50% teacher control; 50% student autonomy
25% teacher control; 75% student autonomy
100% student autonomy

9. What is not a core principle of the Leadership model?

10. 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.

11. The impact on classroom organisation
It helps students to gain control and act in a more responsible manner.

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