Win-Win Discipline is the most comprehensive classroom discipline program available
Win-Win transforms our concept of discipline. Discipline is not something we do to students it is something we help our students acquire – autonomous responsibility! This course goes beyond classroom management and provides a total philosophy of classroom discipline.
Disruptions are guide posts. They tell us what kinds of responsible behaviours students need to learn – what needs to be taught.

- Convert every disruption into a learning opportunity.
- Go beyond ending disruptions—teach responsible behaviours and life skills.

- Win-Win Discipline presents 195 Preventative Procedures to help teachers be proactive in their approach to manage disruptive incidents in their classrooms.
- Learn “In the Moment of Disruption” structures which are easy-to-use, step-by-step strategies.
- Learn and practice “Follow-Up” procedures
Everyone Wins with Win-Win Discipline
Convert disruptions into learning opportunities:
- Students win – they learn responsible ways to meet their needs for a lifetime
