Author: Ruby K. Payne and aha! Process Consultants
Disc 5 - Teach Appropriate Behaviors.
This single DVD from the Under-Resourced Learners series of 8 , accompanies the book by the same title. A perfect fit for staff development, at staff meetings, or with an in-house book study.
In this DVD, Dr. Payne states that the real purpose of discipline is to have a safe environment so that learning can actually occur.
And the first thing in any environment that makes it safer is whether or not there are relationships of mutual respect. Other
components of a safe environment include:
- A system-wide approach to discipline
- Using the "Adult Voice"
- Biochemical issues
- Administrative support
- The Law of Truly Large Numbers
School safety comprises all these issues, and more. This DVD describes ways to bring emotional safety, as well as physical safety, to the school environment.
Bonus: Role play vignettes with real students and administrators, demonstrating key concepts. Hear the debriefing too!
