310-732: A consistent appreciation for good conduct. Consequences correspond to actions taken; although maintaining a positive focus is preferable, it might not always be feasible when boundaries are crossed. Disciplinary action must be applied throughout the classroom so all students believe that the rules matter. Simply offering rewards and consequences is not always sufficient; teachers must earn students' respect and trust. Assertive discipline involves modeling appropriate behavior to help students understand its principles. Teachers guide students in adhering to specific behavioral expectations. According to Canter , all students, including those with special needs, respond positively to this approach. Proactive discipline

1116-702: A self-reliant worker does not require constant oversight. Habit trackers are a practical self-discipline method. Often, there's a time lag before receiving feedback on time management, making it challenging to visualize expected habit changes. Activities like running, meditation, or exercise demand significant effort for delayed rewards, yielding minimal satisfaction during the activity. Habit tracking offers short-term motivation for desired outcomes.
