What if everything that you knew about disciplining kids was wrong

As Casual Relief Teachers we can often be exposed to challenging student behaviour and .  'What if everything you knew about disciplining kids was wrong' is the title of an article published in a Mother Jones magazine.

This is a quote from the article.  "Teachers who aim to control students' behaviour -rather than helping them control it themselves - undermine the very elements that are essential for motivation: autonomy, a sense of competence, and a capacity to relate to others."

You can find the article at this link.

When you are working in a school find out what approach they have for managing challenging behaviour.
