The Toronto Principals' Centre invites you to attend a Summer Institute:

BUILDING EFFECTIVE SCHOOL DISCIPLINE

presented by

Ronald Morrish

 
 
PROGRAM
To equate discipline with punishment and consequences is a simplistic view that has led to an over reliance on punitive techniques.

Instead we must look beyond trendy theories of "Classroom Management" to develop a school wide approach that increases time for teaching, treats parents as partners and minimizes reliance on punishment and suspension.

This Institute will provide school leadership teams with the tools to create a respectful, responsive, co-operative learning environment.

PRESENTER
Ron Morrish is a popular speaker and workshop leader at conferences around North America. He is the author of Secrets of Discipline: 12 Keys for Raising Responsible Children and With All Due Respect: Keys for Building Effective School Discipline.

Ron is currently working with teachers in several jurisdictions to improve their skills for teaching children and youth to be responsible, co-operative and respectful.

Participants will receive a copy of With All Due Respect: Keys for Building Effective School Discipline.

PARTICIPANTS WILL
  • help staff to see discipline as productive and preventative instead of negative and reactive
  • improve consistency in a school by building a staff commitment to teamwork
  • empower staff to take personal ownership of most behavioural incidents and issues
  • design a student orientation program of appropriate school behaviours
  • increase parental support for school behavioral expectations
  • improve teacher skills for maintaining a smooth running classroom learning environment
  • create individual plans for improving the behaviours of challenging students
