Effective School-wide Discipline

Does your school use Effective School-wide Discipline? What positives are used to encourage your student population?

I think ESD is a great idea, especially the positives that result from the program. However, I feel that it can simply turn into another "program" to do, if it is not promoted successfully. I have seen what happens when it is not implemented appropriately. Students who shouldn't be part of the positives are included because of lack of consistency in discipline.

Discipline vs. Morale

What do you think about how the presence or lack of discipline affects morale in your school building?

I have experienced both sides. I felt like I was part of a caring community when our principal disciplined the students consistently. I personally believe that morale is a huge factor in having a successful school. Therefore, discipline must be fair and consistent to gain support from the school community. If discipline is inconsistent, morale goes down and teachers lose confidence in their leaders.
