We recognize that every teacher, classroom community, and individual student is unique. Exact implementation varies among classrooms and across grade levels as teachers adapt the program for their students. Every child has different strengths and opportunities for growth. Positive Discipline helps bridge gaps and scaffold students’ communication abilities as they develop their social and emotional skills. Positive Discipline builds sustaining skills.

 

We teach, practice, and reinforce specific communication strategies all year long, year after year because social problems look different depending on children’s age and peer group. All Explorer teachers check in regularly with their students to see how they are feeling in ways that support their style and classroom needs.
