1. Bill Rogers’ Positive
Behaviour Leadership Model
Bill Rogers states that the aim of all discipline is directed
towards enabling students to:
(a)Own their behaviour and be accountable for their
behaviour choices;
(b)Respect the rights of others to learn, to feel safe and to
be treated with basic respect; and
(c)Build a workable relationship with students even where
teachers have to discipline them.
His theory is based around the social reality of shared
rights and responsibilities and the need for teachers to
lead, guide, support, discipline and encourage students
within those shared rights and responsibilities.
2. Principles of Positive
Behaviour Leadership
Rogers describes 5 principles of positive behaviour
leadership:
1. Express joint rights and responsibilities in the rules;
2. Minimise unnecessary confrontation and
embarrassment;
3. Promote the use of appropriate choices;
4. Discipline respectfully;
5. Communicate expectations positively.
