Monday, June 18, 2012 Education Ride 365: Discipline Efforts In Schools Defined & Explained #6 Once a school decides on a discipline program (largely, a philosophy) and determines which tool(s) will be used to support the system (basically, a blueprint), it is ready for implementation. This blog post will introduce two critical aspects of implementation: 1) education/training and 2) consistent follow-through.   Training the faculty and staff about the discipline program, system, and tool(s) is---obviously---imperative. Every adult in the building should be knowledgeable about what the discipline program is aiming to accomplish and how the discipline system will make this a reality. They must understand the tool(s) used...particularly aspects of the tool(s) they will be expected to use and the importance of doing so consistently and professionally. They must understand the "non-negotiables" everyone is expected to follow for the good of the order. They should be assisted in developing a personal vision for how the discipline program and discipline system, facilitated by the discipline tool(s), will result in a healthier discipline climate for everyone at the school. The importance of each of these imperatives cannot be overstated. Every adult in the building should be on the same page on these matters.
