Course Description

Participants in this course will examine research-based proactive practices and best practices of the alternative discipline.  Strategies for improving classroom and school culture through the use of alternative discipline will be explored.  Participants will reflect on their discipline philosophy to establish a framework for growth to effectively implement positive alternative discipline interventions and strategies.  Participants will learn about alternatives to school discipline and the most effective ways to reach students and to reward positive behaviors.  When students do misbehave participants will learn ways that students can still receive appropriate instructional time and be part of the classroom community.  Participants will leave the course with a toolkit of resources to impact their classroom and school community through alternative discipline.
