The Need for Power, Structure, and Positivity

We all need a combination of structure (limits) and autonomy (power and control) in our lives. Much of the defiance, rebelliousness, and acting out I see in the classroom reflects our students’ struggle to survive. When teachers use their authority to set limits and offer choices, and follow through consistently and immediately when limits have been violated, this win-win approach can reduce conflict and increase commitment and cooperation.

· I sometimes allow and encourage students to make decisions about their learning (what, where, with whom, how, or how much).

· I sometimes allow students to create, design, or renegotiate assignments to make them personally meaningful.

· I motivate through access to positive outcomes, rather than avoidance or fear of negative outcomes. I emphasize the positive consequences of cooperation.

· I consciously anticipate what students, teachers, and parents will need in various situations in order to prevent problems from occurring.

· I follow through immediately, avoiding warnings and threats.

· I make students and their parents aware of changes in behavior or performance that could affect grades or promotion.

· I utilize parents, administration, and staff for feedback and support (not for punishing students).
