OVERVIEW:
Positive Discipline in the Classroom (developed by Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott) empowers teachers with skills to prepare students for successful living. Participants will learn how students develop competencies, skills, and personal qualities through the class meeting
process and other Positive Discipline methods.

FOR SCHOOL PERSONNEL WHO:
• Understand that the development of life-skills is as important as academics to help students be successful in work, in the
community, and in relationships.
• Want a program that significantly reduces discipline problems by teaching self-discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and
problem-solving skills.
• Know that nonpunitive methods work best for long-range positive results with students—and who want a large toolbox
of nonpunitive methods.
• Want classrooms where students practice mutual respect.

Three Criteria for Discipline that Empowers:
1. Respectful
2. Effective Long-Term
3. Provides opportunities for the development of social and life skills

Since our school adopted the Positive Discipline philosophy two years ago, we’ve noticed an incredible difference. Behavior problems are disappearing, children are solving their own problems, and teachers
have more time to teach. This program is a must in our quest to raise a future generation of confident, responsible, and respectful kids.
