Transcript of Dr. Dreikurs presentation - AW
Adrienne Woolley
As a social being, each child
wants to BELONG. His
BEHAVIOR indicates the
ways and means by which he
tries to be significant
(Dreikurs, Maintaining Sanity
in the Classroom, p. 12).
Respects rights of others.
Is tolerant of others.
Is interested in others.
Co-operates with others.
Encourages others.
Is courageous.
Has a true sense of own worth.
Has a feeling of belonging.
Has socially acceptable goals.
Puts forth genuine effort.
Willing to share rather than thinking “How much can I get?”
“We” rather than “I”
Goal 1: Attention-Getting – Seeks proof of his approval
or status. Will cease when reprimanded or given attention.
Goal 2: Power – Similar to destructive attention getting, but
more intense. Wants to be the boss. Reprimand intensifies
misbehavior.
Goal 3: Revenge – Does things to hurt others. Makes self
hated. Retaliates.
Goal 4: Display of Inadequacy – Assumes real or
imagined deficiency to safeguard oneself. Shows
hopelessness.
Cooperation
Encouragement Consequences
A cooperative person… is free to be concerned
with others as friends, neighbors, and classmates rather than as competitors
does not waste energy thinking about winning or losing
treats everyone with mutual respect
has the courage to be imperfect
Teachers should:
Commend effort.
Separate the deed from the doer.
Build on strengths not weaknesses.
Avoid discouragement.
Work for improvement not perfection.
How is praise different from
encouragement?
Using logical consequences in your classroom:
1. Evaluate the goal of misbehavior. 2. Provide interventions based on the goal. 3. Impose a natural or logical consequence when rules are broken or misbehavior occurs. 4. Build community in the classroom by helping students connect to each other and to you.
