Conscious Discipline

Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive classroom management and social emotional program that creates learning environments where children can answer with an affirmative “Yes I am safe”, and “Yes I am loved”.  From this foundation of safety and caring, children will begin learning how to solve conflicts, manage their emotions, and take responsibility for their actions. 

At MLS, teachers and all staff members will be engaging students in a Brain Smart activity to help prepare their brains for optimal learning. The Brain Smart start includes activities for uniting; disengaging stress, connecting and committing.  

·      Uniting activities are designed for everyone to do it together and help develop a sense of belonging. 

·      Disengage stress activities teach children how to calm themselves when they are upset. 

·      Connecting activities provide opportunities for children to interact with each other, which builds healthy friendships, increases attention span, and fosters cooperation. 

·      Commitments, the final component to the morning routine, teach children to make and follow through on pledges to keep their classroom safe and take responsibility for their actions. 

We strongly encourage you to follow our Conscious Discipline blog for more information. 

From our heart to your heart, we wish you well,
