What is constructive assertiveness? What are its three basic elements?
What will be an ideal response?
The effectiveness of your responses to students' misbehavior will depend, in part, on your ability to use constructive assertiveness. Constructive assertiveness "lies on a continuum between aggressive, overbearing pushiness and timid, submissive, or weak responses that allow students to trample on the teacher's and other students' rights." Communication based on constructive assertiveness is neither hostile, sarcastic, defensive, nor vindictive; it is clear, firm, and concise.
Constructive assertiveness has three basic elements:
? A clear statement of the problem or concern
? Unambiguous body language that matches the content and tone of corrective statements
? Firm, unwavering insistence on appropriate behavior
