What are the potential strengths of Glasser’s approach? What are its potential weaknesses? What elements, if any, will you incorporate into your classroom management model?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but strengths might include focus on positively, problem-solving, meaningful work, and productive relationships. Weaknesses might reflect concerns about time needed to help every student master every objective, the need to teach a specified curriculum that may not always lend itself to engagement and utility, the tension between Glasser’s model and accountability measures, and the notion that students are not “allowed” to fail.
