Principles of a Glasser Quality School (GQS)
The Glasser Quality School: Process in Action document has now been finalized.
The effort toward improving the systemic application of Choice Theory in schools
throughout the world has taken a new step forward with the development of a new
process for Glasser Quality Schools.
Previously, the process focused on training teachers and staff in Choice Theory
through the traditional Basic and Advanced trainings and practicums leading to
certification.
The new model will focus on systemic
improvement, will be more cost effective
for schools, and offers each school more
autonomy.
In a nutshell, a Glasser Quality School
environment is perceived as a joyful place
based on trust, cooperation, and respect.
Students, staff and parents are
encouraged to learn Choice Theory and
its application at school and in their lives.
Total Learning Competency ensures that
useful and meaningful work is done.
To learn more about Glasser Quality Schools/Choice Theory Schools, the processes
involved , and the benefits of having a school embark on this journey, take a look at
the paper Glasser Quality School: Process in Action which will be available at
www.wglasserinternational.org
Glasser Canada shall also post Quality School: Process in Action online at
www.glassercanada.ca/ in the near future. We are awaiting an answer from WGI – US
to place their document entitled The Glasser Quality School Information and Rubric on
our site since it helps schools self-evaluate the steps or stages they have reached
within the process.

Embarking on a Journey of Self-Discovery:
How to help yourself and others live more satisfying lives
RAISON D'ÊTRE
Organizational transitions, business closures, job losses and technological changes are
just some of the factors that exponentially increase the level of stress, inevitably
leading to emotional destabilization of individuals. This destabilization, in turn,
increases the loss of self-control and precipitates risks which, in many cases, lead to
the development of physical or mental illnesses.
A Unique Initiative
This hybrid online course
offers more flexibility to
people with busy schedules.
Each module on Choice
Theory presents written
content, narrative,
interactive animations, and
varied methods of self-
evaluation.
This novel approach aims at rendering this learning experience interesting, exciting,
and creative.

Training for success that lasts a lifetime
The course takes advantage of the same instruction and activities of the traditional
person-to-person model, presently used by William Glasser International Inc. and
Member Organizations. This online training course combines the best practices of
online learning while including those of the in-class model to establish the
relationships necessary for optimal learning.
Collaborative Partnerships
Ms. Goguen is grateful to Glasser Canada, Mrs.
Carleen Glasser and William Glasser international
Inc. for encouraging and supporting her in this
ambitious endeavor. The Community College of
New Brunswick (CCNB), as a creative and
innovative partner, offers the program as an
online course with developing animations to
engage learners in their own learning.
CCNB, with many years of experience,
collaborated in uploading the material through its
technical department in Canada's both official
languages of French and English to meet the
needs of its population.
It is in this spirit of collaboration that The Key
Associates Inc. and the CCNB gained the financial
support of the province of New Brunswick,
through the Department of Post-Secondary
Training and Labour, enabling the online Choice
Theory course to make learning more interactive,
more dynamic, and more accessible for the
benefit of all.
You can get a sense of the course by viewing the

John has already begun applying
some of the interactive activities in
his work. Good job, John!
Further Development
Ms. Goguen intends to pursue the development of other steps, practica and advanced
intensive training, leading to final Certification in the near future. The official launch of
this high quality online hybrid course will take place in French and English in Fall 2016.
