Responsibility Centered Discipline

"Responsibility-Centered Discipline (RCD) has helped educators across North America transform student discipline and improve school climate over the past decade. Not only have RCD schools seen significant decreases in office referrals, detentions and suspensions, they have also moved away from an obedience-based classroom discipline model to a model that is centered on students taking responsibility for their own behavior as well as their own academic success."

Join us each week as we talk to different SREB team members and educators across the country to find out the latest in school innovations. From classroom instruction to school leadership, we are going to examine what it is that makes schools work!
