Conscious Discipline 2: Building the School Family & Creating Positive School Climates

Shana Schmidt

A positive school climate is a prerequisite for developmentally appropriate discipline strategies. Children are motivated to behave through healthy relationships or through awards (stars, stickers, point system). Healthy relationships teach children to value each other, while rewards teach children to value material things.

This workshop is very hands-on and requires space for participants to move.

Cost is $50 and includes lunch.
