The Democratic Discipline (DD) Model could be incorporated because it emphasizes that students can self-regulate their behavior, take responsibility for completing homework, and develop understanding consequences (Edwards and Watts, 2008). ). This can include students in decisions about rewards and punishments by brainstorming ideas and writing contracts for everyone to sign, outlining responsibilities, rights, and rewards/punishments that will be received (Konza, 2001). Sophie can then ensure that students understand the objective and match assignments to their interests and skills. This can lead to positive engagement in the activity and improved progress (California Department of Education, 2000). The DD model could prove crucial for Sophie's upper primary pupils, as it can contribute to their independence to enter secondary school.
