Punishments or Rewards

This book shows how internal motivation is far more powerful and effective than are punishments or rewards.

"Collaboration is more effective than domination"

Dr. Marvin Marshall

USING THE HIERARCHY TO PROMOTE LEARNING

PART IV of the Discipline Without Stress Teaching Model

"With the Hierarchy of Social Development and its TWO LEVELS of ACCEPTABLE behaviours, we have a tool for inspiring young people to WANT to do their best. I find that if you present students of any age with these options, many are then motivated internally—without the incentive of a higher grade (a reward) or the threat of a lower grade (a punishment). That's the beauty of DISCIPLINE WITHOUT STRESS. Many teachers underestimate the power of internal motivation simply because they don't know how to promote it." —Kerry Weisner, British Columbia, Canada

BEFORE students engage in a lesson or activity, discuss behaviors at each level. Then ASK the students to choose a level for the activity. AFTER the lesson, ask students to take just a moment to REFLECT on the level of their choice. Using hierarchies in this way—BEFORE and AFTER a lesson or activity—promotes a desire to perform at the HIGHEST LEVEL.

The more the hierarchy is discussed IN A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS, the more it becomes a tool that students use to evaluate their own choices to develop self-reliance and self-discipline.

An example from high school teacher Jim Mann:

I use the levels to teach the importance of establishing a procedure each morning to get to school on time. I use an alarm clock analogy:

Level D - You set your alarm clock, wake up, and get to school on time.

Level C - You depend on your parents to wake you up so you get to school on time.

Level B - You ignore the alarm clock and come to school late.

Level A - You don't even set your alarm clock because you are only interested in what you want and do not consider how your actions affect others.

I tell my high school students that to succeed in college, they must have motivation on Level D. Their motivation must come from within.
