There are strong opinions when it comes to consequences in schools. Some believe in strict enforcement—"do the crime, do the time"—while others advocate for restorative conversations and plans. Regardless of approach, one thing remains essential: we need student buy-in for consequences to be effective.
Without buy-in, consequences lose their impact. The students who struggle the most are often already expecting punishments like detention or suspension. They wear a mask that says, "I don’t care." But the truth is, punitive measures rarely lead to real behaviour change.
In this episode, I discuss how to create meaningful consequences that students actually care about. I break down three key considerations to ensure students understand the impact of their actions, feel supported in making better choices, and see consequences as fair and relevant.
