Conscious Discipline

EEC staff has adopted the practices of Conscious Discipline.   Conscious Discipline^® is a comprehensive classroom management program and a social-emotional curriculum. It is based on current brain research, child development information, and developmentally appropriate practices.

Seven Basic Skills of Discipline that create our SAFE environment:

• Composure – Being the person you want children to become
• Encouragement – Building the school family
• Assertiveness – Setting limits respectfully
• Choices – Building self esteem and willpower
• Positive Intent – Creating teachable moments
• Empathy – Handling fussing and fits
• Consequences – Helping children learn from their mistakes

We believe that by using daily conflicts to teach character development, social skills, conflict resolution and self control, teachers are able to integrate social, emotional and academic learning into one seamless curriculum. Thus, the children are learning how to make choices to stay safe, become connected and solve problems.
