Many paths to this goal

Submitted by Joy (not verified) on August 15, 2007 - 18:09.

I've been on a journey for the past six years learning how to help students work toward this goal. My path winds around and through a variety of philosophies and approaches, but the two that I found the most helpful for implementation are Discipline Without Stress by Marvin Marshall, Ph.D., and the Responsive Classroom approach.

Both focus on practicing respectful and noncoercive methods of classroom management and discipline.

Here are websites where you can learn more about these:
