WELCOME BACK!!!!! SEASON 3 IS BACK! JOIN THE TEACHERS AS WE GIVE YOU A PART 1 OF HOW TO START YOUR SCHOOL YEAR OFF GREAT WITH YOUR CHILD, SCHOOL FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY!!!! WHEW THE TEACHERS GOING IN...-MRS. WILSON
The church is a school, but it's not centered around classrooms, or lectures... and there are no stupid questions. Let's consider what enrollment in the school of Jesus looks like.
John Wimber said the church must be a hospital, a school, a family and an army. This week we consider the church as a hospital--why it's so close to the heart of Jesus, and why it's a value we can easily lose sight of.

Each morning at the start of class, middle school teacher Alayna Tignor will play the “Affirmation Song” by Snoop Dogg and have her sixth and seventh grade students sing along. “Today is going to be an amazing day!” the students recite, some reluctantly. “My feelings matter! I get better every single day! I choose to feel happy!” Positive affirmations are a large part of Tignor's “Teen Living” class at Holman Middle School, which resembles a home economics course where teens learn life skills like cooking, laundry, sewing, and budgeting. Middle school is an interesting age – often a tumultuous one...Article LinkSupport the Show.

For over 30 years, Kathy's passion has been early childhood education. She has an education degree from Texas Tech University and taught for Coppell ISD and Hurst Euless Bedford ISD right here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area before starting her true love of teaching and directing weekday early childhood programs. She led a faith-based school in Fort Worth for several years and recently shifted her day-to-day life to provide consulting, training, and mentoring. In this podcast episode, Kathy discusses the importance of building a school family and the impact it has on early childhood development. She defines a school family as a place where children feel loved, cared for, and safe, emphasizing the role of relationships in brain development and learning. Kathy suggests creating a safe and loving environment in the classroom, where children have important roles and responsibilities. She also highlights the significance of routines and intentional connections in fostering a sense of safety and community. With this, she shares practical strategies such as job assignments, recognition of acts of kindness, and a calm corner for children to regulate their emotions. Overall, she emphasizes the importance of creating a positive and nurturing environment that supports the social, emotional, and cognitive development of young children. If this concept is new to you, it may seem a bit overwhelming. Let me encourage you…you don't have to change everything you're doing in your classroom today. Pick one thing – maybe you want to try adding a personalized greeting to your day. Or maybe you just want to add some classroom jobs so every child helps your classroom function every day. Or maybe you just want to start using the “family” terminology as you talk to your students to help yourself and them shift your mindset into a community mindset. God has created us for community. He is the ultimate family-builder as He invites us to be a part of His family! Kathy's email is kathy@wymers.com As always, we would love to connect with you on Instagram HERE and on Facebook HERE.

Kristin Chesterman is a deep believer that all behavior is a form of communication. Addressing the lack of skills in a student (or scholar as she refers to them) is the key to regulation success. As a Title 1 Behavioral Support Teacher serving approximately 615 students in Indiana, Kristin shares personal examples of how the implementation of Conscious Discipline's powers, skills, and strategies in connection with Brain State knowledge cultivate an inclusive School Family. In this episode, she explains how Conscious Discipline provided the framework for a Junior Coaching Program and prompted a transformative shift in their school culture among their teachers. Essential Takeaways: For implementation success, teachers and administrators need to be open and curious about their perspectives concerning outcomes. A behavioral or SEL approach does not have to be prescriptive: Conscious Discipline is a framework. All behavior is a form of communication, and fortifying skills rather than denying access/inclusion is the path to self-regulation success. Vulnerability is key to connection. Regulation starts with the adults in the room. What you give to others, you strengthen within yourself.

For over 25 years, the students and teachers at Washington Elementary School in Bloomington have shared a Thanksgiving meal together. Here's what they're thankful for this year.
*Trigger warning: This episode contains content concerning cancer, loss and grief.* Specials teachers, like those in art, and physical education, often see every student in the school, but only for a short time. The question often arises, “Can these teachers use Conscious Discipline effectively?” The answer is unequivocally yes, as demonstrated by this month's guest Rachel Frasier. Rachel is a dance specialist at an elementary school. She utilizes Conscious Discipline extensively in her program where students conduct classroom management tasks independently and carry the self-regulation skills they learn into other classrooms that may not be practicing Conscious Discipline. This is a common experience for specials teachers using Conscious Discipline; what sets Rachel's story apart is the way the School Family she cultivated was able to help her during her husband's chemotherapy treatments and eventually in mourning his death. Learn more about Conscious Discipline in specials classrooms, managing the process of grieving within a School Family and how the resilience skills that are central to Conscious Discipline play out in real life in this touching episode. Essential Takeaways • Specials teachers impact every student in the school. The skills and strategies students learn in specials transfer to other classrooms. • Conscious Discipline looks similar in the specials classroom as it does elsewhere in the school, with elements like a Brain Smart Start and a meaningful job for every student. • Through the practice of Conscious Discipline, children learn how to recognize, accept, discuss, and empathize with big feelings. With these resiliency skills as a foundation, children are better able to manage their feelings and the challenges that accompany loss and grief. They are also better able to empathize with others who are experiencing difficult times. • Even with an extensive skillset, there are times when it is important to seek help. Adults instill this value in children by serving as Safekeepers in the classroom, by asking for and being willing to receive help themselves, and by framing problem behaviors as a call for help.

The DSC Show for Friday 10/29/21: We played Summer School and Family Feud, we also heard about a new Advanced Placement class and a march for small dongs!
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools went virtual. Others opted for a hybrid format, with some students learning in school and some learning from home. Even now, with record numbers of students quarantining, schools and families continue to vacillate between face-to-face and virtual learning. This presents challenges for teachers, students, and families. Before the pandemic, most schools had no established curriculum or guidance for virtual learning. And many teachers quickly discovered that fostering connection and teaching skills was tough to do through a computer screen. In this episode, Dr. Becky Bailey talks with early childhood educators Jennifer Kist and Jill Hegarty about their experiences with virtual learning. Jennifer and Jill saw virtual learning as an opportunity to bring Conscious Discipline and SEL skills into the home, connecting home families with the School Family in ways that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Their approach to virtual learning focused on connection. It was individualized enough to meet each child's needs, while being universal enough to function collectively. Listen in to learn how Jennifer and Jill used creativity, brilliance, and Conscious Discipline to make virtual learning a meaningful experience. ESSENTIAL TAKEAWAYS Jennifer and Jill made School Family Circle Time Books for each child to take home. They continued to incorporate the Brain Smart Start, Wish Well Ritual, greetings, jobs, and more into their virtual lessons. They also sent home breathing strategies, and they used virtual learning as an opportunity to coach parents in managing their child's moment of upset. Some parents were hesitant at first, but they were soon fully bought in and engaged. Jennifer and Jill teach children with special needs and IEPs, many specifically related to social-emotional goals. They met with children individually to work on skills like conflict resolution, and they saw enormous growth. Meaningful connection and learning is possible in any format, even with limited resources. With Conscious Discipline, relationships and interactions are the SEL curriculum.

I took a break from recording to assess if there is truly an old school family. During the break, I assessed families, conversations, and television to reach a conclusion. The conclusion I reached is that there is an Old School Family that I feel I can explain or describe.
You may not have heard of today's guest but, if you're active on social media, you're likely to encounter her work. Dr. Dominiqua Griffin is the Co-founder and CEO of Black Women PhDs, which bridges the formal and informal spaces for Black women along their doctoral journey. There's plenty of focus on the challenges of pursuing doctoral and post-doctoral studies, but in today's episode, we zoom in on how to maximize the joy of doing something you are passionate about. Dr. Griffin describes how her experience growing up in a dual culture household in the Bronx has shaped her identity and brought special insights that she brings to her research and work. Next, she tells us why she chose a doctoral program with both comparative and international education pieces, how she found support in an all-female cohort, and what she has come to define as community: being around people who have your best interests at heart. Dr. Griffin touches on her work doing an ethnographic study in Barbados, how she completed her studies in five years, and offers an imperative piece of advice to anyone approaching their studies: find joy! She reveals her biggest points of pride, from creating a powerful community at Black Women PhDs to practicing advocacy and connecting with others along the way. We talk about what motivated her to start her passion project and how she manages with a plate piled very high. In closing, Dr. Griffin tells us a bit about the Ambassadors Program and its international clusters, also offering some final words of wisdom: rely on your community, do what brings you joy, and just go for it! We hope you join us.

Conscious Discipline is not a boxed curriculum; it's a foundation on which you build your interactions, relationships, school culture and approach to discipline. It equips you with an internal system of wise choices and creative problem solving. The Powers of Conscious Discipline make it possible to tap into this internal system and access your brilliance. In this episode, you'll hear from Luke Jankee, principal of Verrado Elementary School in Arizona, on how he creatively applied the principles of Conscious Discipline to manage bullying and drama. Luke built an innovative process for conflict resolution on the foundation of a unified School Family. He implemented a proactive, peer-mediated approach and saw tremendous results. Join Dr. Becky Bailey in conversation with Luke Jankee to learn more about his approach to conflict resolution, his insight on Conscious Discipline implementation and the School Family, and more. Essential Takeaways • Verrado Elementary was a great school prior to implementation, but they wanted to continue growing and improving. Luke believed that Conscious Discipline improved upon what they were already doing and was best for kids, so they had an obligation to implement it for their students. He later discovered Conscious Discipline was extremely helpful for adults too. • There was initial resistance from some staff members, but people got on board once they observed that Conscious Discipline worked. • Having a School Family gives Verrado Elementary a connected culture with a positive, welcoming atmosphere. It has carried the school through tragedy and difficult situations, including the COVID-19 pandemic. • Luke's peer mediation process involves meeting with students who are in conflict once a week. Each week, he gives them an assignment: “Next week, I need you to tell me one positive, kind, or helpful thing that you see in the other person.” Throughout this process, some students previously in conflict have become friends. • This approach to conflict resolution is a creative hybrid of the Conflict Resolution Time Machine, P.E.A.C.E Process, and Kindness Recorder. It has saved time and brought the students, families and community closer together.

"My Principal is Black!" Dr. Ayanna Gore, Executive Director/Principal, Science Teacher Fitness Instructor, Hit The Floor Studies highlight how having Black educators is a benefit for ALL students. On today's episode, we are joined by my high school classmate, former colleague Dr. Ayanna Gore, Executive Director/Principal, Science Teacher, Rapper, Dancer, Fitness Leader (she's so much more than a triple threat!). From the south side of Chicago, to upstate NY, and now settled on the west coast in Seattle, Dr. Gore reflects on the magical moments she's experienced in the classroom, and the impact of her race on her non-Black students. Notable talking points: - After the "N" word, "A Learning Moment" - Protection by parents, "By Any Means Necessary" - The need for leadership and development training as school leaders, "Grab the resources available" - The importance of Black women mentorship, "Phenomenal Woman" As a student, a teacher and an administrative leader, Ayanna always recognized the power in building a school family, rooted in the collectivist culture of the Black community. As a Black woman in leadership, she speaks on the differences and disparities, the power of exposure, and the blessing of influence.
On today's show, we're joined by Amber Adrian, former Teach For America teacher, to talk about what racism means, how it shows up in our world, and what we, even in our small towns, can do about it. Confronting Racism Episode Summary: Amber Adrian, former Teach For America teacher, shares a few of her personal stories and offers some practical ideas for how we, even in the smallest of towns across America, can begin to open our minds and hearts to what systemic racism is, how it affects us as a society, and what our individual and collective roles are in changing it. About Amber Adrian: Amber Adrian is a former middle school English teacher who worked in Los Angeles through Teach For America and was a founding staff member at a unique charter school in St. Paul, MN. She was raised in the Mitchell, SD, area and recently relocated back there alongside her husband Ryan, a native of the Twin Cities. Amber is a freelance writer and an at-home parent to her daughters, Alice (4) and Clare (2). When she isn't cooking or tending to toddler emotions, she writes materials for businesses, maintains a blog and monthly(ish) newsletter, and writes occasionally for the local paper. Amber has a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Education, and she's passionate about conversation, community, and personal growth. In this episode, we tackle… What is systemic racism and why is it so important that we understand the difference between that and overt acts of racism? For many of us, when we hear the word “racist” we take personal offense to the suggestion that we play a role because frankly, most of us are not bad people that truly hate people of color. But Amber shares a lot of information about the nature of systemic racism and how it's not about individual acts, but it's about an entire system designed originally to keep POC from advancing. There are remnants of that original system left today, which makes access difficult for some and not for others. What's the reason that we don't engage in discussions about race more in small towns/rural America? In this time of heightened politicizing, it's because the language around racial equality and justice for all typically belongs to the liberal side of the aisle. With small towns and much of rural America being more conservative politically, we hesitate to have these conversations because we don't want to align with the “other side”. As Amber shares, you'll hear that race isn't about sides. This is about humanity and how we each have a role to play in ensuring that everyone is seen, valued, and welcomed in our society. Listen to this episode to hear more about: Why listening is the key to unlocking more understanding What it means that racism is “the water we swim in” How to start the work of learning and growing our own understanding about racism What our role is and why it matters, even in small towns When good intentions matter and when they don't Why “call-out culture” is unproductive to the actual cause we're claiming to care about How to approach this topic with love, grace and calming energy Links Mentioned Teach For America The Banker: Movie Rebecca mentioned about redlining Systemic Racism Explained: “Now This” video Rebecca mentioned seeing on Facebook Article: Blackface: The Birth of an America Stereotype Emmett Till post written by Amber's friend: https://amybosthenegar.com/blog/emmett-till Amber's blog post about Philando Castile: https://alternativegrace.com/philando-castile-and-shalom/ The book Amber is reading right now: White Fragility The poetry book mentioned in the episode: Bronx Masquerade One of the most helpful books for Amber when she was teaching: Everyday Antiracism: Getting Real About Race in School Family movie to encourage inclusion: Zootopia Connect with Amber Blog: http://alternativegrace.com Instagram: @amber.adrian Newsletter: https://alternativegrace.com/slow-curated-words-for-a-more-intentional-life/

At its core, Conscious Discipline is a relationship program. Our brain is a social brain that develops through relationships. To change the brain for optimal learning, we must create optimal relationships. No matter how you choose to weave Conscious Discipline into your classroom, school or district, remember: As we improve relationships, we improve learning. In this podcast, you’ll hear from J.C. Commander, a dean of students for South Euclid-Lyndhurst City School District in Ohio. As the dean of students in a small district, J.C. wears many hats. Whether he’s working with students who are truant and their families, coaching basketball, or teaching breathing strategies to young children, J.C. puts relationships at the forefront. Listen in to learn how Conscious Discipline has helped J.C. and his district prioritize relationships in order to optimize learning. Essential Takeaways • Often, the reason children miss school is relationship-based. They may have social issues or lack relationships with their teachers. In other cases, it’s helpful to work with parents to establish a routine that helps children successfully get up and get to school in the morning. • Athletics are a great way to build relationships with students through common interests. • With older children, a Friends and Family Board can serve as motivation. Students revisit photos of their parents or other family members as a reminder of their “why.” • In your first year implementing Conscious Discipline, it’s OK to choose a few key areas of focus and a few structures you’d like to implement. J.C. initially focused on routines and relationships, and he implemented the Wish Well, Greetings and Friends and Family Board. He also helped students learn Conscious Discipline deep breathing techniques, with great results.

As a child, DJ Batiste didn’t have the skills he needed to behave or succeed in school. He was expelled from preschool and often kicked out of classrooms before becoming involved with gangs and increasingly serious trouble. During his senior year of high school, DJ’s life changed when he walked into the classroom of Donna Porter, a teacher implementing Conscious Discipline. For the first time, DJ had a teacher who didn’t tell him, “Get out.” Instead, she connected with him. That connection paved the way for DJ to learn valuable skills that he continues to use today. Listen in as DJ discusses the powerful impact of teachers, the vital skill of composure, and how teachers like you can connect with other “DJ’s” and change their life trajectory for the better. As DJ says, “Never question the power you have as a teacher… You can choose to create more success stories and less statistics.” Essential Takeaways • If a child is told he’s bad often enough, he begins to believe that is who he is. The way we see children matters. • Meet your students where they are, accept them where they are, and build. Your first encounter with a student may be a disrespectful one. It is how you respond that sets the tone for the relationship. • Composure is the first skill of Conscious Discipline. Without it, accessing the other skills is impossible. Before attempting other skills, learn to quit taking student behavior personally and to compose yourself before responding. • A great teacher’s true intent is to teach and not to punish. Teach discipline skills more than once, the same way we continue to teach academic skills until they are mastered. Give children a fresh start every day.

In any classroom, conflict happens. And that’s an understatement—conflict occurs every day, all day long. Research shows that in Pre-K classrooms, 60 acts of intrusion occur per hour. If you want to save time for learning and connection, teaching conflict resolution to young children is essential. With Conscious Discipline, we foster a willingness to resolve conflicts by building a School Family. Then, we teach healthy conflict resolution skills like composure, assertiveness, and recognizing and managing triggers. Join Master Instructor Vicky Hepler as she leads a session on teaching conflict resolution in early childhood on this special episode of Real Talk for Real Teachers. With 37 years in education, Vicky draws on a wealth of experience as she shares actionable strategies, activities and coaching tips for transforming conflict and chaos to connection and cooperation. Essential Takeaways • For conflict resolution to be effective, we must foster the seeds of willingness by establishing a School Family. From there, we can teach even the most challenging children to resolve conflicts in a healthy manner. • Conflict is an opportunity to teach children a better way to communicate, resolve problems and meet their needs. • Children are developmentally programmed to seek help from adults. When a child tattles, he or she is telling us, “I need help. I don’t know what to do.” This is an opportunity to teach children how to use their assertive Big Voice. • With their Big Voices, children teach others how they want to be treated, a vital lifelong skill. • We teach children to use their Big Voice in the moment that conflict occurs. We also help them identify triggers and find strategies to use when they are triggered. Don’t forget to celebrate when your students use their Big Voice!

Migrant farmworkers in the United States face many unique challenges. They earn an average total income of $15,000-$17,500 while working 10-12 hours a day for six days a week. Due to these long hours, parents have little quality time to spend with their children. They are exposed to toxic pesticides and often exploited. Migrant farmworkers are also transient, moving from place to place and often living in substandard conditions. Naturally, working with these families and their children presents unique challenges as well. Dr. Becky Bailey sat down with Gilda Gonzalez, the program coordinator for the Riverside County Office of Education Migrant Head Start in El Centro, California to discuss how Conscious Discipline can help address these issues. Listen in to learn about the challenges Gilda sees daily, how she’s working to implement Conscious Discipline, and why she calls it “a transformational program that works.” Essential Takeaways • The Migrant Head Start program sees children responding to stress with aggression and withdrawal. Classrooms implementing Conscious Discipline have noted reductions in these behaviors. They write fewer referrals and make fewer phone calls to parents about challenging behaviors. • The program is starting slowly with Conscious Discipline, training teachers and implementing deep breathing, greetings, and goodbyes. Some teachers have chosen to go above and beyond. • Gilda’s program also uses the Conscious Discipline Parent Education Curriculum. Because parents are so busy, they incorporate some of the activities during home visits. The parents enjoy the curriculum and have requested more. • Although academics are important, Gilda has found the social emotional piece to be even more significant. It has made a difference in her personal life and in the lives of children, families, and staff.

After learning about Conscious Discipline at a workshop, teachers at Grove Hill Elementary knew that they wanted to implement it at their school. Principal Kathy Spidle saw their enthusiasm and quickly agreed. At the start of the following year, a four-year-old child in Julie Hoven and Miranda Richardson’s class was diagnosed with leukemia. Although Keith was only in their class for 1.5 days before receiving the diagnosis, Julie and Miranda knew that they wanted to include him in their School Family. Keith’s picture went up on the Wish Well Board, and his classmates wished him well every morning. They sent videos of the Wish Well Ritual to Keith and his family. After Keith passed away in December, the class made a We Remember Keith book, and students added Keith’s family to the Wish Well Board. The school planted a tree in his memory, with a sign that says, “Keith taught us to love and care for others.” In this episode, principal Kathy Spidle and teachers Julie Hoven and Miranda Richardson share how they used the Wish Well Ritual to keep the School Family connected and teach love, empathy and kindness during a tragic time. Wishing Well is also a powerful way to acknowledge and begin to heal from loss. Essential Takeaways • Wishing Well fosters connection even in someone’s absence. It teaches children life lessons like empathy, love and kindness. • Julie and Miranda learned the value of slowing down, deeply connecting, and using teachable moments for life skills, not just academics. • We must recognize and acknowledge great losses as well as small losses and disappointments. Otherwise they can turn to anger, then rage, and then revenge. Wishing Well provides an actionable way to recognize and acknowledge loss.

In this episode, you’ll hear from district leaders Toni Stevenson and Lynlie Schoene. Toni and Lynlie are the Chief Academic Officer and Chief Innovation Officer of Franklin Township Community School Corporation in Indianapolis, Indiana. They work with counselors, administrators, teachers, and instructional coaches. Listen in as Toni and Lynlie share their tips for leading at the district level with shared power, celebrating successes, and slowly and intentionally implementing Conscious Discipline. Essential Takeaways Focus on bringing Conscious Discipline to your role first, modeling the powers and skills for others. Utilizing instructional rounds helps increase collaboration and reduce competition in schools. Once Conscious Discipline is underway, this creates an easy transition to building model classrooms for others to observe. Explaining the “why” to your staff/teachers is extremely important. Teachers need to understand the importance of Conscious Discipline and each of its components. Shared power is essential to successful implementation. Remember that it must be “our” initiative rather than “my” initiative. Celebrate often, encourage cooperation, and foster a collaborative spirit. Get counselors involved when possible. Since Conscious Discipline is trauma-informed and supports health and well-being, counselors are often the first to understand and grab hold of the concepts. Steps for Tomorrow Model Conscious Discipline powers, skills and structures rather than trying to force others to implement. Transformational change requires buy-in and can’t be coerced or forced. Foster a collaborative spirit, working and celebrating together. Toni and Lynlie hold monthly cookouts for teachers at each building. Take your time with implementation. Be strategic and intentional without overwhelming your staff.

Conscious Discipline hosts the Advanced Institute, also known as CD2, each year in February. CD2 is limited to 48 participants who apply for the opportunity to attend. During this transformative week, each participant shares information about how they’re implementing Conscious Discipline and the results they’ve seen. Take a sneak peek into the Advanced Institute as you listen in on presentations from Tym Smith and Alysia Rhinefort. Tym is an early childhood education consultant and trainer who runs four schools of his own. Alysia is an outreach specialist for a childcare resource and referral agency in Indiana. Hear how Conscious Discipline has impacted their families, staff, and communities. Essential Takeaways • It costs an estimated $7000 to hire a new teacher. Conscious Discipline reignites passion for teaching, improves staff retention, and saves time and money. • When your teachers have the tools to manage emotions and conflict, they’re happier and less stressed. As a result, they’re better able to serve the children in your care. • If you’re not sure where to start with Conscious Discipline, begin practicing with yourself and practicing in your home. Then, introduce it in your classroom, school, or workplace. • We typically associate Conscious Discipline with schools. But it can also make a positive impact on the judicial system, the prison system, and foster care.

Every Conscious Discipline implementation story is different. Conscious Discipline can be customized to fit your school, your goals, and your needs. For Sandy Mummey, the best approach was to go slowly. Sandy gave her staff time to examine their values, discuss what they wanted for children, and develop agreements and commitments that reflected their beliefs. Now in the third year of implementation, Sandy can clearly see that her approach is working. In this episode, principal Sandy Mummey shares her experience implementing Conscious Discipline at Oceanlake Elementary School in Lincoln City, Oregon. Sandy’s implementation process was guided by her motto: “Go slow to go fast.” After allowing acceptance and understanding of Conscious Discipline to unfold naturally, she has seen noticeable transformation within her staff. That transformation is now spreading to the students. Listen to Sandy’s story and tips, plus learn about a powerful exercise that you can lead with your own staff. Essential Takeaways • One effective approach to Conscious Discipline implementation is “going slow to go fast.” Give your staff time to examine their values, discuss what they want for children at your school, and gradually embrace a new mindset and learn new skills. • Drafting collective agreements and commitments with your staff creates a guiding document that provides clarity and unity on your Conscious Discipline journey. • Connection is key: administrator to staff member, staff member to staff member, staff member to children, and children to children.

In 1996, Dr. Bailey set out to help teachers and children from her guest bedroom. Even with no strategy and no marketing, word spread about the transformational results. One teacher found it helpful and told another teacher, who told more teachers, and the movement grew. 20 years later, Conscious Discipline has reached 47 countries and counting, inspiring more than 3.5 million educators and caregivers and impacting an estimated 17.4 million children. This powerful grassroots approach has also swept the state of Alabama. Joy Winchester, who works for the state’s Department of Early Childhood Education, gained a reputation for having a special ability to work with children who had challenging behaviors. That “special ability” was Conscious Discipline. Two teachers reached out to Joy for help, and she began conducting a Conscious Discipline book study via e-mail. The teachers got excited, and so did their classroom coach. Word spread, and 300 teachers completed Joy’s book study in one year. From there, Conscious Disciplined gained the support of administrators, superintendents, and the Department of Early Childhood Education. It’s now implemented in preschool classrooms and with infants and toddlers statewide. Interest has also spread to K-12 and even to higher education. Colleges in Alabama are interested in blending Conscious Discipline with their teacher education curriculums, and the University of Alabama’s neurology department is studying Conscious Discipline’s impact in the state. In this episode, Joy Winchester, the Director of the Office of Early Childhood Development and Professional Support, tells the story of how the buzz created by a simple book study led to Conscious Discipline implementation at the state level. She also shares Alabama’s innovative approach to bringing an entire state to Conscious Discipline fidelity. Essential Takeaways • When Joy is asked how she’s changing an entire state, she responds, “Through teachers.” Teachers saw that Conscious Discipline was working with their students and it spread to administrators, then to superintendents, and then to the state level. • Alabama started by training the most effective teachers who were willing to implement Conscious Discipline first. After a very thorough selection process, 76 teachers were selected as the starting point. These teachers could then serve as model classrooms and teach the powers and skills to others. • Conscious Discipline Instructors have also coached in the 76 selected classrooms and are coaching Alabama’s classroom coaches as well. • The coaches are working with teachers at their own pace and allowing them to become comfortable with one step at a time. After just one year, many teachers are already implementing to fidelity.

People often ask, “Is Conscious Discipline culturally sensitive?” and “Will Conscious Discipline work in my country?” The answer to both questions is, “Yes.” Conscious Discipline is brain-based and rooted in neuroscience. It’s also built on the Power of Unity, the idea that we’re all in this together. In addition, Conscious Discipline is more of a practice or philosophy than a proscriptive, step-by-step approach. This allows for easy adaptation and customization as needed. In fact, Conscious Discipline is currently practiced in at least 47 countries. In this podcast, Dr. Bailey is joined by special guest Suad Al-Salem, a counselor at My Little School in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At My Little School, Conscious Discipline is integrated into every part of a child’s day. Suad shares her experience with successfully practicing Conscious Discipline in Saudi Arabia, plus tips on effectively and empathetically responding to resistance. Essential Takeaways • The Power of Unity means that Conscious Discipline is built on commonalities, not differences. Unity supports, encourages, and allows for our individuality and uniqueness to blossom. • Different countries and cultures can customize their practice of Conscious Discipline however they see fit. A school in Sri Lanka, for instance, made their Safe Place a temple, representing wisdom and rejuvenation. • If others resist implementation of Conscious Discipline, continue embracing them as part of the School Family without pressuring them. Accept their resistance and take baby steps. Often, as people feel a sense of belonging and see the positive changes, they will move from resistance to acceptance (and sometimes even enthusiasm). • At Suad’s school in Saudi Arabia, parents are excited about Conscious Discipline. They want implementation to expand and continue beyond sixth grade. Parents say that the difference in children who attend My Little School is very noticeable.

From being expelled as a preschooler to joining a gang by the age of nine, DJ Batiste was a troubled child until his life was turned around his senior year of high school. The first day of his senior year, DJ walked into a class that utilized the powers and skills of Conscious Discipline. Ms. Donna Porter used the skills she had learned through Conscious Discipline to make a connection with DJ. That one connection began a transformation in DJ’s life that set him on a new trajectory of success. Listen in as DJ Batiste shares his personal story of transformation and the teacher that started it all. DJ encourages teachers—and all adults—to see misbehavior and children who misbehave differently, build connections, and teach skills. Children who do not have a sense of belonging will create their own, often leading them down a destructive path. Connection, on the other hand, builds a bridge to healing and growth. DJ’s inspirational story reminds educators of the power they have to permanently change lives for the better.

26% of children ages 0-4 have experienced trauma. For these children, a secure emotional attachment is life-changing. However, building connections with children of trauma isn’t easy. It requires empathy, patience, and persistence. When teachers don’t know how to respond to challenging behaviors, their solutions often make the problem worse. These children need to be included, not excluded. Additionally, 70% of adults have experienced trauma. This means that in classrooms across the nation, teachers are trying to help children heal from trauma while still struggling with their own. For administrators, it’s crucial to support teachers so that they can support children. In this episode, Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor Abbi Kruse shares five powerful ways for administrators to support teachers in working with children of trauma. Abbi is the founder and executive director of The Playing Field in Madison, Wisconsin. The Playing Field serves children 0-4 and aims to level the playing field by working with homeless children, middle-class children, and Head Start students in one classroom. Listen as Abbi shares her wisdom on building a school culture that empowers teachers to tackle this challenging, vitally important work. Essential Takeaways • Although we view children as resilient, young children are more vulnerable to trauma than at any other stage of life. • Working with children who have experienced trauma is difficult, but we must remember our “why.” These children have experienced so much adversity, but providing just one secure attachment can change their lives and the lives of others around them. • To be truly effective in working with children of trauma, we must first address our own trauma. • One administrator can’t possibly offer support for all teachers and children at once. This is why it’s essential to build a united, supportive school culture in which teachers rely on and help one another. Steps for Tomorrow • Remember to always keep the mission in front of yourself and your staff. Instead of only focusing on “how” you will possibly accomplish something, remember “why” you’re doing this work. • Begin celebrating even small successes. Provide teachers with ongoing support and sincere gratitude. • Invest in professional development. Ensure that your teachers have the skills they need to do the job.

Conscious Discipline is not a program; it’s a practice that asks adults to make a significant mindset shift. Implementation of Conscious Discipline is a process that begins with experiencing this shift, then building skills, and finally adding structures that support our practice of the skills. Administrators coaching teachers in Conscious Discipline must recognize and accept that different teachers are at different stages in this journey. Fortunately, we have resources to support you every step of the way. Join Master Instructor Jill Molli as she shares her expertise on working with both skeptical and willing teachers to implement Conscious Discipline. Jill has been a Conscious Discipline Master Instructor for the last 17 years and directs long-term, large-scale implementation projects. Previously, she was an award-winning teacher and counselor. In this episode, Jill discusses her own experience as a skeptical teacher and how she applies this experience in helping administrators coach teachers.

In the United States, many of us have now lived through a decade of high-stakes testing. This testing costs an average of $1.7 billion annually per state, and students take about 18 major tests each year. The pressure on students, teachers, and schools is intense. Research shows that about 40 percent of students experience test anxiety. Studies also indicate that testing interferes with the student-teacher relationship, which is the basis of all learning. With this emphasis on testing, the curriculum has narrowed, leaving less time for creativity and recreation. In addition, teachers and administrators often feel that there is no time for social-emotional learning through programs like Conscious Discipline. In reality, Conscious Discipline creates a calm, connected environment that optimizes critical-thinking and learning. It also gives students (and adults) skills that help them manage the pressure of high-stakes testing. In this episode, Cynthia Robinson-Rivers, Head of School at Van Ness Elementary in Washington D.C., shares how Conscious Discipline has helped her staff and students handle the pressure of testing. Cynthia is an award-winning administrator who has been recognized for her social-emotional learning practices and highly effective leadership. Listen as Cynthia gives practical tips for balancing academics, testing, and social-emotional learning.

Many people believe that Conscious Discipline is an early childhood program. In reality, Conscious Discipline is a life practice appropriate for all ages. It’s a mindset shift and skillset upgrade that we use to manage our thoughts, emotions, and behavior. This allows us to set and achieve goals and solve problems or conflicts. Social emotional learning has no age limit—Conscious Discipline can and does work with older children. Listen as Kristin Abel, the pioneer of Conscious Discipline implementation with older children, shares her tips for success. Kristin is a National Board Certified teacher with 25 years of experience in education. She has used Conscious Discipline for the majority of her career, mostly with fifth grade students, and has trained both middle and high school teachers. Kristin is currently a dean of students. If you’ve ever wondered how to use Conscious Discipline with older children, this episode has the inspiration and advice you need to get started.

Today’s teachers must juggle more initiatives, responsibilities and challenges than ever before. For this reason, introducing Conscious Discipline to faculty/staff as a new principal can be difficult. Staff must recognize the need for social and emotional learning, be willing to view children with positive intent and love and commit to the process of transformational change. This is an ongoing journey, and the key is to go slowly. Listen as Dr. Heather Finn shares her experiences and insight about introducing and implementing Conscious Discipline as a new principal. For twelve years, Heather was an award-winning teacher. She worked as a college adjunct professor for five years while earning her doctorate. She then became an assistant principal at Green Valley Elementary, a Title I school populated by students who had experienced significant trauma. After experiencing success with Conscious Discipline there, Heather became a principal at Bunker Hill Elementary in Indianapolis. In this episode, she shares tips for new principals on gradually bringing Conscious Discipline to a school. Essential Takeaways • For Conscious Discipline to succeed, it’s important for adults to view children through a lens of positive intent and love at all times. Adults can then teach students the skills they are missing (through no fault of their own) rather than punishing them. • Conscious Discipline can meet the needs of all students and work with any population. At Green Valley, there were typically 14-15 children in a class of 22 that had significant difficulties and needed consistent support throughout the day. Over the four years that Heather worked at Green Valley, teachers and students saw tremendous success with Conscious Discipline. • When faculty and staff are open to seeing others with positive intent and making connections, the impact of Conscious Discipline is felt both inside the classroom and outside of school. • It’s essential for principals introducing Conscious Discipline to live it so they can naturally model the skills and powers. • Choose a few pieces of Conscious Discipline to implement bit by bit (e.g. language of noticing, greeting rituals, morning meetings, Brain Smart Start). • When bringing Conscious Discipline to a school, be mindful of current traditions and rituals as well. Steps for Tomorrow • Start by working on your own composure. Your composure and leadership are the most important pieces, allowing you to model the best parts of Conscious Discipline. Model noticing for teachers and students. • Celebrate what you notice and what is already wonderful about the school you’ve stepped into. Notice the traditions and foundational pieces that are already in place. • Come up with a theme that is the foundation of what you hope to build and achieve within the school. For instance, Heather’s school theme is “We Are Family: All My Bulldogs and Me.” Important Links • ConsciousDiscipline.com (https://consciousdiscipline.com/) • Power of Love (Webinar) (https://consciousdiscipline.com/power-of-love/) • Power of Intention (Webinar) (https://consciousdiscipline.com/power-of-intention/) • Skill of Positive Intent (https://consciousdiscipline.com/free-resources/book-portal/chapter-9-positive-intent/) • Greeting Ritual (https://consciousdiscipline.com/free-resources/shubert/sophies-classroom/greeting-ritual/) • Brain Smart Start (https://consciousdiscipline.com/free-resources/shubert/shuberts-classroom/brain-smart-start/) Product Mentions • Conscious Discipline: Building Resilient Schools (https://shop.consciousdiscipline.com/collections/conscious-discipline-core/products/the-new-conscious-discipline-book-expanded-updated) • Creating the School Family (https://shop.consciousdiscipline.com/collections/school-family/products/creating-the-school-family) • Seven Skills Poster Set (https://shop.consciousdiscipline.com/collections/conscious-discipline-core/products/seven-skills-poster-set)

1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men are victims of domestic violence. Each year, 5 million children in the United States witness domestic violence in their homes. These traumatic experiences profoundly impact children, making them fearful, anxious and always on guard. They may feel worthless, powerless and starved for affection and approval. Children affected by domestic violence, trauma and chronic stress find it difficult to trust and connect with others. They feel unsafe and are often defensive and destructive. On the opposite end of the spectrum, these children may dissociate and shut down. The good news is that we can make a difference. In this episode, Kelly Frazier-Wawire shares her experiences working in Chicago’s public schools with children who have been exposed to domestic violence and chronic stress. Kelly has worked in education for 15 years, spending 10 of these years with Chicago Public Schools (CPS). In 2011, she left the classroom to study clinical social work, providing play-based therapy to children on Chicago’s West Side. Now, Kelly is a Social Emotional Learning Specialist for CPS. Listen as she explains how Conscious Discipline has made a powerful, positive difference in the lives of children who have experienced trauma and violence. Essential Takeaways • Children who witness domestic violence are expected to remain silent about this family secret. They bury feelings of shame in the nervous system, often creating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They may blame themselves and feel isolated and vulnerable. • For these children, the School Family, I Love You Rituals, and Greeting Rituals are especially powerful. • It’s also very important for teachers to change the way they view children who have experienced trauma and their behavior. Behaviors that are often perceived as “calling for attention” are actually “calling for connection.” • Conscious Discipline provides concrete, practical strategies—and hope—to teachers in the most challenging schools. It gives them the skills and tools needed to support students who have witnessed ongoing violence and experienced chronic stress. This can restore the joy of teaching and prevent teachers from burning out. • Conscious Discipline fulfills essential needs such as safety and order, a schoolwide supportive environment, trust, shared power, and social emotional learning for both children and adults. Together, these components create an environment where children who have experienced trauma can thrive and be successful.

The end of the school year can be a challenging time when difficult behaviors pop up—even in the most connected classrooms! For students, summer can be an exciting and unpredictable time, and next year may be an anxiety-provoking unknown. The routines that anchor their classroom lives with predictability and safety are soon to be left behind, as are the rituals that have connected class members all year long. Students’ big feelings about these changes often show up as outbursts, chatter, defiance and other stress behaviors. In this episode, Becky Bailey and special guest Vicky Hepler tackle end of year challenges with rituals that help ease the transition to summer and beyond. Vicky is a Master Instructor and a 36-year veteran of the classroom. Learn from her personal experiences, including the importance of “I will remember” and specific activities to soothe the “what ifs” of anxiety that crop up in the final weeks of school. Essential Takeaways • Outbursts and behavior challenges signal sadness about leaving friends and anxiety about what comes next. For many students, summer lacks structure and next year is a big unknown. For some, summer also means facing issues like a lack of food or unsafe neighborhoods. • Connected School Families sometimes experience the hardest goodbyes. The more difficult the behaviors, the greater the need for end of year connecting rituals. • For older children, begin preparing 20-30 days before school ends. For younger children, begin 2-3 weeks before school ends. • Reframe the emotionally-charged phrase “I’m going to miss…” with the emotionally-grounded phrase “I will remember…” • Create memory books for children to take with them. • Have older children write questions for students in the next grade level (and have the older students respond). • Anxiety’s message is “I need more information to feel safe.” Ask yourself, “How can we soothe the anxiety and answer the what ifs in my classroom?” • Take a field trip to the next grade so children have a better sense of what to expect next year. • Involve the family and plan an end of year celebration with a focus on remembering. Steps for Tomorrow • #1 Do something! Acknowledge the movement from this known, connected class to an uncertain summer and an unknown next year. “I will remember…” • #2 Create a memory book or video. Distribute a copy to every student. • #3 Give students the opportunity to gather information about what to expect next year. • Provide ways to remember the calming strategies they’ve learned (portable Safe Places, etc.). • When a student has an outburst likely stemming from end of year turmoil, breathe and say, “I’m going to miss you, too. I remember when we…” to help him or her process the emotion and upshift to the higher centers of the brain.

Family privilege is a collection of strengths and supports children gain through healthy, caring primary relationships (Seita, J, 2014 - https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1038836 ). Many children lack the full benefit of these strengths and supports due to factors like insecure attachment, homelessness, uncertain home life, substance abuse, trauma and neglect. The School Family in Conscious Discipline is based on a healthy family model, and builds resilience in children who have experienced trauma and/or lack of family privilege. In this episode, Abbi Kruse shares her story of creating an early childhood program that builds resilience and School Family-based family privilege for both paying, middle-class families and non-paying families experiencing homelessness. Listen as she describes the impact of her program as it closes the social-emotional gap often embedded in the socio-economic divide. Learn how creating a School Family and shifting your perceptions about challenging children creates an environment of success for all children. Essential Takeaways Building a School Family is essential for the success of all children. Seeing behavior as a call for help and connecting with children who struggle helps build resiliency. Steps for Tomorrow Remember that children’s distress and misbehavior is happening in front of you, not to you. Shift your focus from “How do I make this child stop,” to “How do I help this child succeed.” Focus on the child’s need for safety and connection and don’t give up!

Socialization is a process by which a person learns to be a member of a group or community. Families and educators have the task of socializing children into the collective in a healthy way in order to sustain ourselves as a society. “Us” and “them” socialization (racism, sexism, have vs have not, good kid vs bad kid classroom culture, etc.) impedes healthy socialization. It can prime the excluded, “lesser” children to seek inclusion in groups and relationships that are damaging or abusive, including street gangs. In this episode, DJ Baptiste shares his experiences from being a teenage gang leader through his current role as a motivational speaker and advocate for creating a healthy School Family “gang” for all children. Essential Takeaways • Any form of “us” and “them” socialization impedes the development of a healthy culture • Disconnected/marginalized children will find an alternative way to meet the need to belong • All children need predictability, consistency and a sense of belonging • Creating a sense of community in the classroom (a School Family) provides students with connection, predictability and a sense of belonging Important Links Gang Leader to Graduate Success Story (insert/connect link) How to Make a (Bully from Scratch) (insert/connect link) Bully Road Signs series of videos (insert/connect link) Products Conscious Discipline: Building Resilient Classrooms Creating the School Family Conscious Discipline: Building Resilient Schools and Homes e-Course Show Outline (time stamps) :24 What is Conscious Discipline 1:42 Prevalence of gangs in our society 2:50 What is socialization 5:01 Introduction of guest speaker DJ Baptiste, former gang leader 6:23 DJ’s story of his path towards being in a gang 9:55 DJ expelled from preschool 12:56 DJ created his own gang 15:15 A sense of belonging draws children toward gangs 17:40 How gangs provide consistency and predictability 19:18 Codes of conduct in DJ’s gang 20:42 Was there ever a sense of fear being in the gang 23:00 DJ’s life-changing moment 26:10 Mrs. Porter connects, gives DJ a class job and creates a School Family 29:46 DJ’s current employment 31:35 Summary of what the gang provided Transcript can be found here: https://consciousdiscipline.com/podcast-episode014/
Have you noticed some children will increase their behaviors in what seems to be an effort to gain your attention? Have you ever had a child exhibit a behavior that just seems so bizarre to you and you were at a loss for how to respond? Children with extreme behaviors and mental illness present some of the most challenging moments in the classroom. Some of these behaviors can be alarming to the adults who care for them. Seeing all behavior as a form of communication creates opportunity for acceptance of where the child is, connection, and teaching new skills. Listen in as Kim Jackson, Conscious Discipline Master Instructor and demonstration teacher in North Carolina, shares strategies for working with children during extreme behaviors. ESSENTIAL TAKEAWAYS • Seeing all behavior as communication enables adults to create teaching moments, even with them most challenging children. • Adults managing their own emotional states in times of conflict is essential. • Respecting where children are in the moment creates opportunity to connect and teaches others watching acceptance.
