Effective Discipline
“Enforced rules can make the difference between law and order for all and the reign of terror that exists in many schools. If rules vary from one teacher or one setting to another, the students can, with some justification, challenge them. Variations provide an alibi for rule infringements. Consistent enforcement of the code of conduct requires active vigilant supervision and is one of the most effective and economical prevention strategies.” Schools where Everyone Belongs
Focus on Prevention
• Discipline isn’t what you do when students misbehave; it is what you do so they won’t. • Rules and limits are established so students will understand that some behaviours are strictly out-of-bounds. • Revisions and improvements must constantly be made in response to changes in student behaviours and needs.
