Discipline provides guidance, focuses on prevention, enhances communication, models respect, and embraces natural consequences. 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. Young people with ACEs have brains that are in a constant state of alarm. Preventive Brain-Aligned Strategies Preventive systems are taught as procedures and routines. The research is clear.
