Conscious discipline is one of the many classroom management programs available for teachers to implement in their classrooms. This approach integrates all five domains of learning: social, emotional, physical, cultural, and cognitive. There are five different levels to this process: Conscious Discipline Brain State Mode, Seven Powers for Conscious Adults, Creating the School Family, Seven Skills of Discipline, and Success.
I feel that this practice can be very effective if used correctly and in its entirety. One of my favorite parts of this method is including a safe place in your classroom for students to go if they are having a problem with their emotions and need a moment to collect their thoughts. Safe places could include a beanbag chair, pillows, mirrors, posters about emotions, and stuffed animals. The main point of this area is for the student to feel safe and learn to understand their emotions and how they can effect their actions and others.
The following video provides information on conscious discipline and its benefits in the classroom.
