21st Century Discipline
Building Responsibility,
Cooperation
& Self-Management
Presentation by Jane Bluestein, Ph.D.
Of all the issues concerning teachers, discipline generally tops the list. All our preparation, enthusiasm and instructional expertise won’t get us much without the cooperation and attention of our students.
This program offers practical, effective strategies to reduce stress and opposition, turn defensiveness and negative attitudes around, engage students and generate commitment and cooperation. We’ll look at a preventative, win-win approach to discipline with techniques that minimize conflict and maximize student cooperation, self-control and on-task behavior.
Classroom-tested, brain-friendly strategies include ways to avoid frustrating power struggles and self-defeating teacher behaviors, discourage student aggressiveness or passivity, reinforce positive behavior without reinforcing dependence or people pleasing, build independent problem-solving skills, improving the social culture of the classroom or school, develop success-oriented routines and instructions, generate administrative and parental support, and reduce teacher stress and burnout.
So whether you’re at the start of your career or at the end of your rope, this workshop is guaranteed to help!
