Discipline: A process by which a student can be held accountable for their own actions. Responsible: a process by which a student can answer for their own behavior and obligations. Educators understand that behavior and effort are often affected by the relationships they have established with students. When emotions intensify, those relationships are tested and often damaged.
Responsibility-focused discipline helps educators be prepared when situations reach their peak. By empowering educators to effectively manage challenging classroom behaviors (or “difficult times”), RCD schools often see significant improvement not only in behavior management, but also in student and teacher satisfaction, school climate, and academic performance.
