Discipline vs. Punishment • The word “discipine” comes from the Latin root “discere” which means to learn. • However, the word “punish” means to cause or undergo pain, loss or suffering from a wrongdoing
Things to think about: • How often are we using loss of recess as a consequence? • Do we have students losing recess even though they have followed directions? (ex. Lunchroom when the whole group loses part of recess) • Is recess is a privilege? Or, is it an integral part of meeting children's basic physical and social needs?
Let’s be careful! • Let’s work together to come up with a variety of natural consequences that DON’T involve the loss of recess • Let’s consider moving towards the direction of VTPBiS • So, what is VTPBiS????
VTPBiS Logic! Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, durable, salable, & logical for all students. (Zins&Ponti, 1990)
Worry #1“Teaching” correct behaviors by Getting Tough Brian to Teacher: “I hate this school, & you’re dumb.” Teacher: “That is disrespectful language. You have just lost your recess, now you’ll learn never to be disrespectful again….starting now!”
When behavior doesn’t improve, we “Get Tougher!” • Zero tolerance policies • Increased surveillance • Increased loss of recess, suspension & expulsion • In-service training by expert • Alternative programming …..Predictable systems response!
WAIT for New Problem REACT to Problem Behavior Expect and HOPE for non-reacurrance Set a punitive consequence Train others to react the same way Worry #2:“Train & Hope”
