  2. Good Discipline • Linda Albert believes that good discipline depends on student’s attaining a sense of belonging, participation in making class decisions, relating to others with kindness and consideration • As students acquire these attitudes and capabilities they experience an inner sense of discipline that is manifested in self control and responsible behavior.

  13. Class Code of Conduct • Teachers should involve students from day 1in development • Expected behavior from EVERYONE • Teachers & Students decide on consequences • reasonable
