Agency: Students are more
motivated when they are the
“doers”, when they are the agents,
so give them some power to decide
things when you can.
Affect: How they feel. They need to
know you care about them, you
need to know their names.
Adaptation: Teachers’ ability to
respond to the unexpected. You
have to be flexible when things

WITHITNESS
Teacher awareness of
what is going on in the
classroom:
When discipline problems occur,
the teacher consistently takes
action to supress the misbehaviour
of exactly those students who
instigated the problem.
When two discipline problem arise
concurrently, the teacher deals
with the most serious first.
The teacher decisively handles
instances of off-tasks behaviour
before the behaviors either get out
of hand or are modeled by others
Deal with good proximity and
body language between him and
the students.
