Assertive Discipline

Paper Summary:

This paper explains the basic premise underlying the assertive discipline model of teaching. It then goes on to describe how assertive discipline can benefit and harm the education of children and presents arguments of critics on both sides of the issue.

From the Paper:

"According to the assertive discipline model, teachers have the right to determine what is best for their students, and to demand compliance. The model holds that pupils should not prevent teachers from teaching, nor should they keep other students from learning. Student compliance is important in creating and maintaining an effective and efficient learning environment. To develop and maintain this environment, teachers are encouraged to react assertively, as opposed to aggressively or non-assertively."
