Revised Edition: LukivPress (Sardis, BC), 2021.

Previously published as The Ten Axioms, and Seven Caring Versus Deadly Habits-based on William Glasser's Choice Theory: Socio-Emotional Discussion Groups (McNaughton Centre [Quesnel, BC], 2007).

Introduction

In this socio-emotional program, axioms are word for word quotes from Glasser's Choice Theory, and the habits come directly from Glasser's "Seven Caring Habits" and "Seven Deadly Habits."

Resources for discussions: 1. Students' opinions and experiences; and 2. Teacher's knowledge of Glasser's psychological theories.

This program should help students psychologically explore themselves and their relationships with others. For each of 24 weeks, students construct a single class web that they daily add information to, based on the discussion topic (axiom or habit) of the week.
