Alfie Kohn's Beyond Discipline Model
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Kohn (1996) considers conventional methods of assertive discipline to be nothing more than "a collection of bribes and threats whose purpose is to enforce rules that the teacher alone devises and imposes" (p.

The fundamental purpose of Kohn's model is to encourage responsibility and self-discipline without the use of what he perceives as controlling methods of reward and punishment.
