The Assertive Discipline Model

The Assertive Discipline Model is a structured approach to managing student behavior by setting clear expectations and consistently enforcing rules. It emphasizes teachers confidently and calmly addressing unacceptable behaviors while reaffirming positive conduct. The goal is to create a respectful environment where students understand boundaries and consequences, promoting self-discipline and responsibility. By being assertive rather than aggressive or permissive, teachers foster a balanced classroom atmosphere conducive to learning and respect.
