Supportive Discipline: Discipline policies and practices that are instructive, restorative, developmentally appropriate, and equitably enforced. This approach maintains respectful relationships, teaches social and emotional skills, and promotes student agency.
Students have a unique perspective on how high-level decisions impact the day-to-day life of the school, and their voices are critical to quality schoolwide SEL implementation. By listening to students, schools can make informed decisions about the changes that will best support all learners.
