Traditionally, teachers have been taught to apply many
different methods to ‘manage’ student behaviors such as
telling, lecturing, removing privileges, assigning
detentions or rewarding prizes. However, these
management strategies (even the positive ones) are an
attempt to control another person’s actions. RTP aims to
respectfully engage students into thinking about their
own actions and how they relate to the rules. It teaches
students how to achieve their own goals without
violating the rights of others. RTP offers a framework
for schools to develop an environment that is centered
on mutual respect, rather than control. The process is
based on the principles of Perceptual Control Theory
(PCT).
