This document discusses classroom management strategies based on William Glasser's Choice Theory. Choice Theory suggests that behavior is driven by an individual's need to satisfy five basic needs: survival, belonging, power, freedom, and fun. The theory states that teachers should act as managers who build positive relationships with students and provide engaging learning experiences so that students understand working hard in class will benefit them. Coercion through rewards and punishments is minimized, and the focus is instead on quality work through self-evaluation and redoing assignments until mastery is shown.

Choice Theory
By: William Glasser.
● Born in Cleveland, Ohio
● Psychiatrist, author,
Founded the William
Glasser Institute.
● Created Choice Theory,
and Reality Theory.
● Believes that behavior
will not improve until we

work with students.

7. According to William Glasser 1925,
he believes that their are five
components that conclude the choice
theory.The five components
are,Survival,Belonging,Power,Freed
om, and Fun.It is important to follow
these concepts when you are trying
to understand these needs stated. The
concepts are basic needs,the quality
world,reality and
perception,comparing place, and
total behavior.
Choice Theory suggests that parents,
educators, and the community at
large can promote environments that
encourage others to develop Quality
World pictures that let them satisfy
their needs responsibly.
(Glasser,1925)

Choice Theory states that what
matters is our perception of
reality.Our behavior is based off
what we identify as real.Choice
Theory states that information
passes through three distinct
filters as we create our perception
of reality:
.1 the sensory filter
2. the knowledge filter
3. the value filter

According to Glasser,the role of the
teacher/manager is to help students
see that working hard and doing
what the teacher asks is worth the
effort and will add quality to their
lives. This is achieved by developing
positive relationships with students
and providing active, relevant
learning experiences where students
can demonstrate success.
Effective teacher/managers create
shared Quality World pictures with
their students so students are
motivated to learn what the teacher
wants to teach. (Glasser,1925)
According to the article,Understanding three
key classroom management theories by
Matthew Lynch (2016) Glasser identifies
teachers as managers who need to work
effectively if they want to successfully teach
their students. The role of teachers as
managers requires them to guide students in
understanding that working hard and being
obedient is worth it and will have a positive
influence on their lives. Teachers can
achieve this through developing positive
relationships with students and creating
active, relevant learning experiences that
enable students to demonstrate mastery and
success.

According to the article understanding three
key classroom management theories by
Matthew Lynch (2016)Coercion is minimized
because it never inspires quality. Students
aren’t “made” to behave using rewards and
punishments. Instead, teachers build positive
relationships with their students and manage
them.Teachers focus on quality. They expect
mastery of concepts and encourage students to
redo their work and try again until they have
demonstrated competence and high-quality
work. The emphasis is on deep learning
through application.Self-evaluation is common.
Students are provided with helpful information
and take ownership of their learning by
evaluating their own performance. This
promotes responsibility and helps students
reach goals while becoming skilled decision-
makers who are actively involved in their own
education.
