Discipline
Our discipline combines practices in Conscious Discipline and Love and Logic.
- The first goal is to transform everyday discipline issues into teachable moments. These are opportunities for growth in social-emotional and communication skills that are necessary to manage themselves, resolve conflict, prevent bullying and develop pro-social behaviors. We walk alongside students modeling grace and forgiveness and adding prayer for spiritual growth.
- The second goal is to provide natural consequences, opportunities for building classroom communities and freedom to try and solve your own problem with teacher support.
