Education QUESTION #6871
Question 1
Thomas Gordon's Teacher Effectiveness Training (TET) model places emphasis on which of the following as a primary tool for addressing problematic student behavior?
  • Issuing contracts and detention slips as immediate consequences
  • Using I-messages and shifting management responsibility gradually to students✔️
  • Applying assertive discipline with a pre-established consequence hierarchy
  • Employing group contingencies to hold peer groups accountable
Correct Answer Explanation
Gordon's TET model advocates for I-messages — statements that express the teacher's own feelings and perspectives rather than attacking the student — and emphasizes empowering students to self-regulate their own behavior. This approach is fundamentally different from punishment-driven or assertive discipline models.
