State BOE Mission Statement
The Mission of the State Board of Education is to prepare
Kansas students for lifelong success through rigorous
academic instruction, 21st century career training, and
character development according to each student's
gifts and talents.
Student Management
While teachers entertain a wide range of beliefs about discipline, beliefs may be placed into three broad categories….
What is your belief?
Are you….
An Interventionists (where teachers use Rules/Rewards-Punishment)?
Or
A Non-Interventionists (where teachers value Human Relationships and Listening)?
Or
An Interactionalists (where teachers Confront, Contract and Negotiate)?
Or
A Transformationalist (where teachers Diversify, Differentiate and Ameliorate)?
All four approaches are essential and teachers ideally blend skills from each approach to perfect a balanced disciplinary style.
Which Model?
Skinner Behavior Modification
William Rogers Decisive Discipline
Redl/Wattenberg Discipline in Group Dynamics
Glasser Choice Theory (Reality Therapy)
Canter Assertive Discipline

Positive Discipline Schools:
-------------------------------------- Understand the quality of relationships and school climate are
absolutely critical to successful student learning. (Engagement.)
Establish strong meaning and connections for students, families and staff in social and academic contexts. (Engagement.)
Implement principles of mutual respect and encouragement. (Character development.)
Focus on long term solutions to misbehavior at individual, class and school wide levels. (Tiered approach.)
View mistakes as opportunities to learn and misbehavior as opportunity to practice critical life skills. (Supplemental targeted skill intervention.)
Question the validity and reliability of traditional adult control, rewards and punishments. (Evidenced based, client centered, repair the harm.)

TIER 2INTENTIONAL GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING:
Targeted students participate in specific guidance and counseling activities that address the identified
concerns. The identified concerns come from relevant data. Some data drivers:
Interventions on discipline, achievement, attendance, mediation, conflict resolution and retention issues
TIER 3SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM INTERVENTION
Targeted students participate in activities that are in addition to Tier 1 and Tier 2, but also include
specific interventions designed for individual needs.
Some examples:Grief counseling, referrals, crisis management Counseling, and solution focused counseling
TIER 4 INTERVENTION SOURCES
Targeted students participate in or receive services from government,
non profits, and / or private agencies for Interventions to address chronic issues
that impede learning. Examples: substance and addiction, foster care, juvenile justice system, mental health

Perceptual Control
Theory
Behavior is purposeful not just reactive
(behaviorist) Behavior is the means by which we control our
perceptions Perceptions are based on our frame of
reference When perception and frame of reference are
not in balance behavior is used to correct the imbalance
Perceptual Control Theory
Reality Therapy
Glasser’s Control theory
Eight Steps
• Build a good relationship • Examine the current behavior• Evaluate behavior-helpful or not?• Brainstorm alternatives• Commit to new plan• Evaluate results-no punish/excuses• Accept logical & natural
consequences• Don’t get discouraged
Engagement Process
Five helpful questions
What are you doing? Is it helping you get what you
want? If not, what might be some
other things you could try? Which idea would you like to
try first? When would you like to start?
Questions for young children
• What did you do?• What is our rule about this?• Was what you did against the rule?• What were you supposed to do?• What are you going to do next time?• Do you want to write your plan for next
time, or do you want me to write it?

What Educators Can Do
Stress student responsibility (class meetings). Establish rules that lead to success not those that
stifle initiative, responsibility and self-direction. Accept no excuses. Call for value judgment. In a non-threatening tone
ask “what are you doing” and “is it working?” Suggest suitable alternatives. Invoke reasonable consequences; encourage
repairing any harm. Be persistent. Carry out continual review.
