I feel that it is a good reflection upon us as to how we portray ourselves to the students that we’re working with. A good balance on being strict and approachable at the same time.

Thomas Gordon

I like his I-message. For example, instead of saying "You are a bully" we can say "I am affected by how you are treating your classmate." This is less judgemental and also creates an environment that encourages students to reflect and take ownership of their own behaviours.

His discipline theories are very relevant to what the educators need to work on, especially active listening, being empathetic at the same time speaking assertively with 'I' statement..

Each of us have our own style of learning and I believe that if we can tap on the student's style of learning, it will greatly help them in their understanding and application.

I like Gordon theory on ‘I’ statement, active listening and empathic understanding. It is important for us LBS whereby rapport and communication is very critical in ensuring responses from students with special needs, especially ones with social issues.

It's very applicable in my teaching practice where having class control is important for lesson to take place effectively. It gives us different ways to assert discipline in class

I like Vygotsky's ZPD. I think it was an AHA moment for me when understanding the theory behind why teachers set tasks slightly more difficult than what we can do. It challenges the students slightly above what they are comfortable with, but still giving them the support to achieve it, allowing them to feel success from a challenging task. It resonates with me in believing the potential of the child.

Glasser Choice theory... We must learn to be mindful of our choices n be prepared for the consequences of our choice. Our choice can affect other people's response n choices too.

I will surely apply instructional scaffolding with my students to help them in their learning and academic development.

I like this theory because the emphasis is on communication. Communication is key to any relationship and i cannot overemphasize how lacking we are in our choice of language with our students. It helps to remind us as educators how important communication is with our students and the little aspects we should be careful to note.

Choice Theory: William Glasser

This would be my favourite theory as it gives children choices. It makes them reflect on what they want and how they want to learn. It makes them independent in the way they think. It also helps teachers to connect with our students.

I feel this theory is important as an educator as it will reflects on ourself as a person. It is important to be mindful of how we treat our students and be cautious if thier feelings.

As An AED LBS, I think that we should always practice active listening. It is an important skill to have that can be applied across any situations in or out of school. Through listening, we are able to resolve issues without blaming or shaming other parties. It forces one to fully concentrate and be non-judgmental when solving a conflict. Using I statements is also a powerful tool and be more empathetic. -Isna

I learnt To be permissive with the students' feelings, allow them to express themselves and validate their feelings but be strict with their misbehaviours. When they are hurt (feelings), they also need bandaging for their feelings! It encourages me to empathy with them but think of alternate way to guide them in their misbehaviour by creating a more comfortable relationship. Celestin

It helps me to see the need to dlagnose student's learning capability and to customise instruction plan.

I like his ZPD. It always reminds me to do something that I am uncomfortable with because it will help me grow! =)

After running through the 5 theories, I belief in Skinner theory whereby he believe in the use of postive reinforcement to maintain a desired behaviour. Token reward will work but considering the other theories is all interconnecting. I can use the other theories in some situation that is more suitable to reinforce.

Haim Ginott has shared the congruent communication theory  and shared applications that allows teachers to be more constructive in our feedbacks and understand our students better in terms of their emotions. Instead of pinpointing flaws, we can look otherwise and advise with more compassion.

B.F. Skinner. It allows me to relate better to the workings of reinforcement which a lot of teachers and myself use in school to manage the students in class.

This Social Learning Theory allows people to learn from one another. Kids learn through observation, imitation and modelling. As an educator, as a mother, as a peer, play an important and influential role to give example of positive behaviour, active engagement. Vice versa, it allows me to learn from them too

I feel that Thomas Gordon’s theory resonated the most with me his theory takes an unconventional approach towards effective teaching. He emphasises on moving away from the use of rewards and punishment which I feel is interesting since most of us are used to using rewards and punishment in our classes.

What I find interesting is his emphasis on encouraging students to take ownership on their own discipline and for teachers to establish rapport with students using various strategies such as active listening and reading emphathic understanding.

I personally like Glasser’s choice theory because it’s relatable. His theory allows me to think deeper on what motivates me in the choices that I make .  He explains in his theory that our choices are driven by our 5 basic needs ( survival , love & belonging, freedom, fun , and power ). Having known these 5 basic needs , it allows me to  understand people better and equips me to have different perspectives to people and their actions.

His use of positive reinforcements and negative reinforcements had deepened my learning of his theory. I have used the approach various times in my role as an educator. I was impressed that there is a specific theory for my applications and is evidence based.
