Allan is a second-grade student that has recently begun to tattle on his peers for minor offenses. His teacher, Mr. Rancourt, has reminded Allan each time that tattling is not acceptable in his classroom unless someone is or could be harmed. Mr. Rancourt decides to ignore the behavior for a few days so that Allan can experience the negative effects that tattling has on his peer relationships. Which of the following theories of classroom management best support Mr. Rancourt’s decision?
  1. Glasser’s “choice theory”
  2. Kounin’s theory of teacher “with-it-ness”
  3. Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning
  4. Canter and Canter’s theory of assertive discipline
Explanation
Answer: D - Canter and Canter’s theory of assertive discipline best supports Mr. Rancourt’s decision to allow Allan to experience the negative effects that his tattling has on his peer relationships. They suggest that teachers use a model of classroom development wherein students either chose to follow the rules or deal with the natural consequences.
