This session introduces teachers to the principles and practices of Positive Discipline, based on the work of Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott. Positive Discipline is a classroom management approach that fosters mutual respect, collaboration, and responsibility among pupils. It equips educators with strategies to create a positive learning environment, emphasising encouragement over punishment and building pupils' intrinsic motivation to behave and succeed. Participants will explore practical tools to manage challenging behaviours, facilitate problem-solving, and promote a sense of belonging and significance in the classroom. Through interactive activities, role-playing, and discussion, we will demonstrate how Positive Discipline can transform classroom culture while maintaining firm boundaries. Teachers will leave this session with actionable strategies that empower them to maintain classroom order without compromising on respect and kindness.
