State BOE Mission Statement The Mission of the State Board of Education is to prepare Kansas students for lifelong success through rigorous academic instruction, 21st century career training, and character development according to each student's gifts and talents.

While teachers entertain a wide range of beliefs about discipline, beliefs may be placed into three broad categories…. What is your belief? Are you…. Interventionists An Interventionists (where teachers use Rules/Rewards-Punishment)? Or Non-Interventionists A Non-Interventionists (where teachers value Human Relationships and Listening)? Or Interactionalists An Interactionalists (where teachers Confront, Contract and Negotiate)? Or Transformationalist A Transformationalist (where teachers Diversify, Differentiate and Ameliorate)? All four approaches are essential and teachers ideally blend skills from each approach to perfect a balanced disciplinary style.

 Behavior is purposeful not just reactive (behaviorist)  Behavior is the means by which we control our perceptions  Perceptions are based on our frame of reference  When perception and frame of reference are not in balance behavior is used to correct the imbalance Perceptual Control Theory

Brainstorm alternatives Brainstorm alternatives Commit to new plan Commit to new plan Evaluate results-no punish/excuses Evaluate results-no punish/excuses Accept logical & natural consequences Accept logical & natural consequences Don’t get discouraged Don’t get discouraged

Engagement Process Five helpful questions  What are you doing?  Is it helping you get what you want?  If not, what might be some other things you could try?  Which idea would you like to try first?  When would you like to start?

Questions for young children What did you do? What is our rule about this? Was what you did against the rule? What were you supposed to do? What are you going to do next time? Do you want to write your plan for next time, or do you want me to write it?

Brief counseling and Reality Therapy common components  working alliance/collaboration  identify strengths  active counseling techniques: role play, homework, confrontation, reframing  clear, concrete, measurable goals

What Educators Can Do  Stress student responsibility (class meetings).  Establish rules that lead to success not those that stifle initiative, responsibility and self-direction.  Accept no excuses.  Call for value judgment. In a non-threatening tone ask “what are you doing” and “is it working?”  Suggest suitable alternatives.  Invoke reasonable consequences; encourage repairing any harm.  Be persistent.  Carry out continual review.
