Conscious Discipline

Conscious Discipline is a method of providing social emotional learning for students. This method of interacting with students creates a compassionate classroom and school environment. It allows adults to understand student behavior through the Brain State Model. Adults are empowered to respond to each child’s individual needs with wisdom. This approach is proven to increase self-regulation, sense of safety, connection, empathy and intrinsic motivation in both children and adults. In August of 2022, all Kindergarten through 8th grade teachers and staff received Conscious Discipline training.

Character Strong

CharacterStrong is backed by three levels of evidence supporting social-emotional learning and character education curricula: (1) Randomized controlled studies, (2) Practice-based evidence, and (3) Common elements of evidence-based practice. There is defensible evidence suggesting that CharacterStrong curricula is feasible for teachers to implement, developmentally and culturally appropriate, and grounded in research around effective SEL content and practices that are likely to lead to important student outcomes of interest when delivered with fidelity. On our campus, this curriculum is delivered every Monday during the mentoring period.
