Named after the American psychiatrist William Glasser, this model was forged from the idea that good behavior comes from good choices. It goes beyond teacher imposed discipline and is for students in classrooms that already have overall “good behavior”.
This model would fit perfectly in a classroom that has adopted morning meetings as part of its SEL curriculum or classroom procedure.

Schedule
The "Higher Order Thinking" skills according to Bloom

The next part of the cycle after Find Children's interests, plan future activities, and Connect Observations is...
Discuss Documents
This model is based on the use of predetermined and understood consequences for behavior.
Prepare several different ways of explaining the material (real-life examples, analogies, visuals, etc.) to catch the attention of more students and appeal to different learning styles. As you plan your examples and activities, estimate how much time you will spend on each
Specific Learning Activities (Or main body of the lesson)
Let parents know they should also be ______. You can say something like, "Plans change, things happen, but give your child a warning ahead of time if things are going to be different. Let them know what is going to happen."
Flexible
Classifies ways of thinking from lower order to more difficult, higher order skills
Bloom's Taxonomy

Group Dynamics: How children and gain knowledge on how children work and think together.
This model is a direct and positive approach developed by Lee and Marlene Canter. It states that desirable behaviors should receive positive reinforcement and recognition while on the flip side, undesirable behaviors should receive negative consequences.
When effectively and consistently used, students will begin to associate desired behaviors with rewards which should increase the frequency of these behaviors.
Assertive Discipline
Now that you have explained the topic and illustrated it with different examples, this is how you will know that students are learning
Check for Understanding
These are the steps needed to complete each part of the schedule.

This model is also called the Fred Jones Model (after its’ creator). It is based on the idea that teachers are most effective when there is a balance of positive student behavior, learner motivation, and an incentive system in place.
Positive Discipline Model
Go over the material covered in class by summarizing the main points of the lesson. You can do this in a number of ways: you can state the main points yourself (“Today we talked about…”), you can ask a student to help you summarize them, or you can even ask all students to write down on a piece of paper what they think were the main points of the lesson.
