Kipline Adopted By KIPP Charter Schools

611 Words3 Pages

Many philosophers believe discipline is essential to education, but there are numerous arguments over how and to what extent discipline should be implemented. One system of discipline that has been highly controversial as of lately is the No Nonsense Nurturer (NNN) model, adopted by KIPP charter schools. In this paper I will put philosophers John Locke and Alfred Whitehead in conversation with KIPP’s NNN model, and explain why I think it is an effective disciplinary system. I will do so by describing NNN model is and explain why KIPP chose to adopt it as its disciplinary system. I will then present Locke’s position on discipline in education in order to illuminate how he would likely to respond to the NNN model. Next I will present Whitehead’s position on discipline, and how he would likely feel about NNN. Finally I will present my position on discipline in education and explain why I think the NNN model is effective, and how it could be made even more effective with minor modifications. …show more content…

The NNN model was created by The Center for Transformative Teachers, with the purpose of enabling educators with disciplinary procedures for effective classroom management. The NNN model is based around routine and establishing clear expectations for both the educator and student. It is made up of four steps: precise directions, positive narration, providing consequences, and building relationships with students. The model was created specifically for children from underserved communities, which is why KIPP, a national college-preparatory charter system put in place to serve students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, chose to adopt the

    Gatto’s strategy is better than Steinberg’ s strategy because statistics can cause boredom to the reader. Also, because, the author now is giving different perspective of how people see the American school system, as he make reference to the modern schools as the “... the results of a “revolution”...”(Gatto 4). Gatto used shocking quotes from American satirist H.L Mencken; who wrote that education “... is not to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. … Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim.., is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality (Gatto 3).

    This, of course, precludes critical judgment completely. It also pretty much destroys the idea that useful or interesting material should be taught, because you can’t test for reflexive obedience until you know whether you can make kids learn, and do foolish and boring things.” The school system’s adjective or adaptive function is primarily a tool in which the education system teaches students to respond to authority and become submissive to its power. With this response to authority, students are not encouraged to critically think or question systems in power. This lack of critical thinking helps the oppressor in subordinating student populations due to the fact that students are not being given the tools to think critically in general.

  • Seven Lesson Schoolteacher

    The essay, The Seven Lesson Schoolteacher, by John Taylor Gatto addresses educational curriculum with a cynical truth that transpires around the United States. His brutal honesty grasps the reader by using common sense and a hint of sarcasm to appeal to humor. The main point of his argument in my perception, states that we must develop children to be critical thinkers and not always agree with authority. By allowing the schooling in a child’s development expecting them to not question an adult’s words does lead to a population that has accepted being dumbed down. Following what has been indicated, a direct quote positions people deprived forever of finding the center of their own special genius (Gatto, part III, pars 3).

Smith explains that there is a “tension” in education policy in regards to this question. Policymakers tend to express their opinions on this question dichotomously, or in extremes, rousing controversy and debate . Smith emphasizes the importance of this debate by citing the nature of this debate as the reason why the public should question the purpose of education. “The passion of [the debaters] demonstrated vividly that this question is seen to be critical for society to address” (Smith 32).

    Many of their principles align with my teaching philosophy as well as my classroom management preferences. For example, on the very first day of school, my students and I will work together to develop a behavior contract that will contain the rules/norms of our classroom. We will brainstorm ideas together on an anchor chart, and then I will consolidate these responses into cohesive phrases. Once the “published” copy of the behavior contract has been presented to the students, and no changes need to be made, each student will sign the contract, indicating that they plan to abide by these rules every day, and if they make a poor choice, they accept the consequences that are to follow. The consequences for the broken rules/norms will also be discussed as a class.
