Encouraging Responsiblity
BE PROACTIVE NOT REACTIVE
Understanding your own values and expectations is critical if students are going to learn responsible behavior. Too often teachers react to students who fail to follow procedures, and the student may not even be aware of what the procedures are. Proactively teach students the behaviors you expect in your classroom.
AWARENESS
Try to get students to focus their attention on their own behavior and how it affects others. Never, Never, ask why did you do that? Always ask, what did you do? Too often when a student is asked why they did something it gives them an opportunity to alibi their actions and use circumstances or another person as a reason for their irresponsibility. Asking what rather than why forces the student to focus on his own actions.

I teach graduate courses for teachers on weekends for the Regional Training Center a company that is located in North Jersey. I teach a course in Cooperative Discipline and recently asked my students to write down some questions that they would like to “Ask the Principal.”
