"Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive self-regulation program that integrates social-emotional learning and discipline.
It is the only program that integrates classroom management with social-emotional learning, utilizes everyday events as the curriculum and addresses the adult’s emotional intelligence as well as the child’s. Conscious Discipline empowers adults to consciously respond to daily conflict, transforming it into an opportunity to teach critical life skills to children."
We are so lucky at HO4K to have many wonderful resources and programs. The students have been involved in some of the activities tied to the amazing program Conscious Discipline. This program can be used both within the home and school environment. Mrs. JoAnn has worked hard to learn more about utilizing it within our school.
One of the major aspects is providing children the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the classroom environment. The pictures above are of a student who is performing his "job" as the classroom horticulturist. He teaches the other students about any changes in the ongoing projects that we have and allows time for observation. Daily the students are responsible and held accountable for their jobs. They take pride in their work and the routine of contributing to our school. What a great way of promoting life learners!
There will be opportunities for parents to learn more about Conscious Discipline within the home through classes facilitated by JoAnn coming soon.
