EDC-5050: Discipline as Learning

The word discipline is derived from the latin root, disciplina, meaning ‘to learn’. Our goal as teachers is to guide children as they move from the need to have their behavior monitored and controlled by adults toward a growing ability to self monitor and control their own behavior. This course will provide highly practical and respectful elementary classroom discipline strategies based on the principles of approaches such as Positive Discipline and Responsive Classroom. Topics will include 1) establishing clear expectations together with students, 2) practicing and coaching positive behavior, 3) respectfully stopping misbehavior, and 4) problem-solving behavior issues in collaboration with children. There will be time during each class for students to practice the strategies and consider ways to apply them to their own teaching situations.
