Real Talk For Real Teachers By Conscious Discipline

How Pivoting from Punishment to Consequences Cultivates an Inclusive School Family


Listen Later

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.
