Full Description

This fascinating series centers about the forceful style and thoughtful ideas of Dr. Rudolph Dreikurs, emeritus professor of psychiatry at the Chicago Medical School. The programs of "Dynamics of Classroom Behavior" were videotaped in a classroom setting at the University of Vermont during the summer of 1969. Led by Dr. Dreikurs, the on-camera class members are drawn -- through a series of incisive discussions and revealing demonstrations -- to an understanding of student motivation in the classroom. Designed for teachers, principals, and counselors, this program examines the principles of bringing about change in student behavior through encouragement, application of logical consequences, group discussion and use of group dynamics principles.
