Quality School TeacherSummary:
The William Glasser Institute's "Quality School" program addresses school failure and disengagement by fostering meaningful relationships with students rather than relying on elaborate curricula. This approach focuses on competency-based learning, leading to higher standardized test scores and reduced discipline issues.Article Body:
The "Quality School" program by the William Glasser Institute is a transformative initiative that directly tackles school failure and disengagement. Rather than relying on complicated curricula, it emphasizes the importance of building need-satisfying relationships, encouraging students to embrace learning. The program’s focus on competency-based education results in significant improvements in standardized test scores and a decrease in disciplinary problems.For the program to be fully endorsed, it requires commitment from the entire school community?"including teachers, administrators, custodial staff, cafeteria workers, and students?"all trained in Choice Theory. While it’s ideal for a whole school to embrace Glasser’s teachings, many teachers successfully implement these principles individually or with a partner, even if their school doesn’t follow the same approach. Glasser's book, "The Quality School Teacher," serves as a valuable resource for those educators.
Characteristics of a Quality Classroom:
In a quality classroom, the teacher’s primary goal is to connect meaningfully with each student. Building positive relationships is essential. One fundamental way to achieve this is by learning every student’s name and greeting them warmly as they enter the classroom. Engaging in conversations and showing genuine interest in their lives further nurtures these connections.Teachers also introduce the concepts of Deadly and Caring Habits, encouraging students to adopt Caring Habits for fostering positive relationships.
Creating a need-satisfying environment involves ensuring students feel safe. This can be achieved by establishing a few non-negotiable rules: maintaining safety, respecting each other and their property, and allowing uninterrupted learning. Once these are agreed upon, students often help maintain the standards, simplifying the teacher's role.
Quality School Teachers are aware that students may not always be ready to learn. For example, during a first snowfall, a teacher might let students pause and enjoy the moment, allowing them to refocus afterward. This approach is more effective than trying to force engagement through distractions.
A quality classroom also provides a comfortable space where students can voluntarily go if they need to manage their behavior. This promotes self-correction and discipline, offering the teacher alternatives to removing students from the classroom, which could harm relationships.
Overall, the Quality School program revolves around creating a nurturing and effective learning environment where students feel motivated and supported, leading to academic and personal growth.
