The Democratic Discipline (DD) model could be incorporated because it insists that students can self-regulate their behavior, take responsibility for completing homework, and develop an understanding of consequences ( Edwards & Watts, 2008 ). This can include students making decisions about rewards and punishments by brainstorming ideas and drafting contracts for everyone to sign that outline responsibilities, rights, and what rewards/punishments will be received (Konza, 2001). Sophie can then ensure that students understand the purpose and match tasks to their interests and skills. This can result in positive engagement in the activity and improve progression (California Department of Education, 2000). The DD model could be crucial together with Sophie's upper primary school students as it can help them achieve independence to enter secondary school.
