amythuesen Oct 30 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@DischerEnglish Agreed. Technically discipline is something that should come from within. Fostering that is the challenge. #mnlead

SupAnger Oct 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2) Important not to look for discipline in a perfect school, but rather to look at productive learning behavior from Ss and Ts #mnlead

KevinSayerska Oct 30 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4) I do this by learning about the whole S.Not just their school side. Ss like you asking them about what they do outside of school #mnlead

@PrincipalFrench Between students I believe. @CareybenM #mnlead

ECTrack2580 Oct 30 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@bretdom @PrincipalFrench @CareybenM But I would say both... T-S is great, but between S-S is also important. #mnlead

@OHara_HPS "Respect for all" it a great mantra &rule to go back to when students are quick to identify differences btwn each other. #mnlead

A4) I bring pairs of students (sometimes those in conflict) into my office to do some coding together. #mnlead

A5: We have no detention. Honestly, I don't know what the consequence options are. Never had to deal with behavior here. #mnlead

PrincipalFrench Oct 30 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A5) Alternates to detention include community service, restorative practices, fixing the error, working one-on-one with the student. #mnlead

@OHara_HPS Thank you! Looking at the website I have seen this before! Heard great things! #mnlead

KevinSayerska Oct 30 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5.1) Unfortunately there is never a cookie cutter way of discipline in schools. #mnlead

OHara_HPS Oct 30 @ 8:41 PM EDT

amythuesen Oct 30 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5. Have to think of what's in place to prevent non-desirable behaviors. Be proactive and not reactive #mnlead

@bretdom great idea! I am in a MS/HS setting and we tend to take an "extra" or privilege away if possible! #mnlead

A5: Reflection sheets have helped a ton-adds the students' voice/thinking, often at times they don't want to talk! #mnlead

ECTrack2580 Oct 30 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A5) We have actually built some Community Service into our Advisory classes each month. #mnlead So all Ss get some service work.
