Discipline provides guidance, focuses on prevention, enhances communication, models respect, and embraces natural consequences. It teaches fairness, responsibility, life skills, and problem solving. There are times when students need to be removed from the classroom and school for aggressive, volatile actions, but upon re-entry we should make a plan of action that begins to address these actions in these brain-aligned ways.
The neurobiological changes caused by chronic negative experiences and a history of adversity can trigger a fear response in the brain. Once in a Lifetime.
Rule of Three and other ideas. And other handy thoughts: so many folks have asked me for a "quick start" set of rules for the design of 3rd Millennium learning spaces... ... this Rule of Three section and some of the other ideas here (see top of this page), have all been well received in conferences, seminars and most importantly adopted / shared with success by practitioners.
These are proven, working ideas, so I thought it was time to park some of them on a web page: I guess rule one is really that there is no absolutely right way to make learning better - schools are all different, their communities, contexts vary and as I have often observed on a windy day they become different places again.

Industrial Age Education Is a Disservice to Students.
Both of my parents are educators, and from my travels around the world, there is a clear understanding that we need a major change in how we educate students.
The traditional model of education, born in the industrial age with a one-size-fits-all approach, is not meeting the needs of our knowledge economy.
