What are the potential strengths of Marshall’s approach? What are its potential weaknesses? What elements, if any, will you incorporate into your classroom management model?

Answers will vary, but strengths will likely include emphasis on positivity and optimism, use of the hierarchy to have students reflect on behavior, discussion of why appropriate behavior matters, focus on affirmation and recognition rather than rewards, praise, or punishment. Weaknesses mentioned might include difficulty maintaining a positive tone in the face of day-to-day frustrations, ineffective questioning on the part of the teacher, no obvious consideration for students with disabilities that affect behavior, little discussion of what strategies to use when students are behaving at Level A.
