Philosophy #2
William Glasser
How would William Glasser’s Philosophy fit with my teaching
style?
● This philosophy fits in my classroom because if my students misbehave I
can suggest an alternative behavior for them to get what they want.
● It fits in my classroom because I can discuss with my students the nature
of the schoolwork, emphasizing quality and asking for input on criteria of
quality.
● It will also help me encourage my students to identify topics that they
would like to explore more in-depth.
Philosophy and Personal Approach
William Glasser Philosophy
● Choice theory
● Teachers cannot make students
do anything. We must attract
them to do the right thing.
My Classroom Approach
● I will offer activities that meet
their basic needs of power, fun,
and freedom.
● I will explain to my students
that their bad behavior will not
get them what they want. I will
have them try positive and
proactive behavior.
Conclusion
In conclusion, these philosophies were two of my favorites. Harry Wong’s
philosophy will help me stress the importance of consistency and to set things
in place early in the year. With William Glasser philosophy will help me with
good choice theory to make sure that student classroom activities are design
to satisfy my students needs.
