Learn practical strategies for teaching positive behavior and responding to misbehavior.

A powerful and cost-effective way for school teams to learn the principles of effective classroom management together. Study group participants will:

• Watch videos of real teachers using the strategies in their own classrooms.
• Take part in structured discussions, reflection, and planning.
• Gain practical knowledge that can be used right away in classrooms.

What is the Responsive Classroom approach to discipline?

A calm, safe classroom helps children learn. The Responsive Classroom approach to discipline is a positive approach that can help children develop self-control, understand how positive behavior looks and sounds, and come to value such behavior. When teachers provide clear expectations for behavior and actively teach children how to live up to those expectations, children feel safe and learn more.

What's included with the kit:

• Session booklets: Detailed directions for leading participants through eight, two-hour study sessions (with notes for adapting to one-and-a-half hours). See Session 2.
• Resource books for the facilitator: Rules in School and Responsive School Discipline (Each participant will need a copy of Rules in School. Participant copies are not included in the kit.)
