• Establish signals that get children's quick, quiet attention anytime and anywhere in school
• Craft school rules that children take seriously—even cherish
• Create peaceful recesses, lunchtimes, hallways, and bus rides
• Give staff techniques for teaching and reinforcing expected behavior
• Help children with especially challenging behaviors avoid discipline problems
• Give staff methods for quickly restoring positive behavior when a discipline problem comes up
• Involve parents in improving school discipline
