teachers' types

In 1976, the canters set for the basic premises and practices of the assertive discipline, which brought relief to teachers everywhere who were beleaguered by classroom misbehavior. The Need for Assertive Discipline 
Canter and canter explains that parents and community members see the need for exercise of appropriate and effective discipline in schools as perhaps the major topic in need of argent attention by school administration.
Types of Teachers and their Effects on Students 
Canter breaks teacher behavior into three general response styles:

a.       Hostile Teacher:  view students as adversaries. Teacher expresses their wants and feelings in ways that put down others or abuse their rights. They create negative environment and affect the way the students feel about themselves. Students learn to hate and fear hostile teachers and schools. The teacher becomes the enemy.

b.      Non-Assertive Teacher (known as wishy -wishy): it is passive approach to students. Teacher does not clearly express their wants and feelings. They feel frustrated and inadequate due to their inability to get their need met in the classroom or control kids. Teacher makes statement as, “for heaven’s sake, please try to behave like ladies”. They come across as wishy-wishy, and after time students stop taking them seriously. Students feel frustrated, manipulated, and angry.

c.       Assertive teacher:  teacher clearly and firmly expresses their needs to their students and work hard to build trust with the class. She/he helps students understood which behavior promotes success and which leads to failure. Students learn to trust and respect an assertive teacher because they know the teacher is fair.
