Tom Herner, 1998
“If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we …teach? …punish?
Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?”
Tom Herner, 1998
Bob Algozzine, Chuang Wang & Amy S. Violette, 2011
“When everyone handles infractions with instructional correction procedures, students learn that what happens when they misbehave is procedure not personal.”
Bob Algozzine, Chuang Wang & Amy S. Violette, 2011
Brenda Scheuermann & Judy Hall, 2008
“When teachers know and use positive and preventative management strategies, many of the commonly reported minor classroom behaviours can be avoided.”
Brenda Scheuermann & Judy Hall, 2008
Forest Gathercoal, 2004
“When it comes to discipline, it does not make sense for educators to use the criminal justice model first, before employing what they were professionally prepared to use–teaching and mentoring approaches.”
Forest Gathercoal, 2004
George Sugai, 2005
“Punishing students doesn’t teach them the right way to act.”
George Sugai, 2005
