Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
Our schools and families are struggling. Too many students are disruptive, labeled, and kicked out for “bad behavior” because they “can’t learn” to behave. Schools readily reward and punish in a misguided attempt to shape student behavior, but rarely teach needed social – emotional skills with the time, care, and patience given to math or reading. The implication is that they know better; if one could only make students care, disruptive behavior would disappear. But significant skills and the ability to apply them are missing. Teaching skills and a systematic solution-focused approach to discipline is what will build strong future leaders.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Sound Discipline works with school adults (staff and parents) to create a transformative cultural shift in adult–student and student-student relationships. By experientially practicing skills that enhance relationships (self regulation, empathy, mutual respect and problem solving) school staff, students and families build a powerful learning community that cultivates mutual respect, active participation, social-emotional development and ultimately academic excellence.
Students practice their new skills by solving their own problems using structured class meetings. School administrations review site-based data to identify emerging patterns of behavior problems, develop timely and enduring responses, and develop a sustainable system for discipline in the school. The program also includes parent education to build parenting skills and reinforce student growth at home as well as in the classroom.

Two students come in from recess visibly upset. There was shoving going on in line. This classroom is in a Sound Discipline school. Instead of going to the teacher for help, Mahad and Alex know what to do and find the student with the “problem-solving helper” job. The three of them sit in the problem-solving corner. The helper makes sure each student is heard, then asks which tool from the “Wheel of Choice” they’d like to use. They choose “Bugs & Wishes.” Alex says, “Mahad, it *bugs* me when you cut in line, and I *wish* you wouldn’t do it.” Mahad says he won’t do it again. Alex isn’t convinced. The helper suggests putting it on the class meeting agenda so the class can help them brainstorm more solutions to choose from. Alex agrees. Mahad and the helper return to their seats to work. Alex, still upset, decides to first spend a few moments in the cool-down spot specially designed by the class at the beginning of the year to help students get re-centered when they’re struggling. Within a few minutes Alex is also back at his seat working and the teacher, uninterrupted, continues helping another student with his writing.

Roots of Empathy, Responsive Classroom and Open Circle all focus solely on teaching social emotional skills. Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) uses a systems approach to discipline, without directly teaching social skills. Sound Discipline does both: combines an experiential curriculum to teach social- emotional skills and supports schools in developing a data-driven, Solution-Focused discipline program. As a result: 1) Students SEE adults modeling the social-emotional skills they are learning, 2) data is regularly reviewed and used for continuous improvement 3) the parenting community is involved. Other programs have a historical and funding advantage that gives them greater visibility.

Impact social
This Entry is about (Issues)
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Thousands of students are learning skills to navigate in the world because we’ve trained 20 schools (9 still active), several thousand educators and hundreds of parenting educators.
In 2011 impacted students by training:
-500 educators to use the classroom curriculum
-another 385 educators and youth-workers to enhance skills working with students exposed to trauma
-45 new parenting educators, including many non-native English speakers.
Results from schools with good program implementation include:
-40% reduction in office referrals over 3 years.
-Up to 60+% reduction numbers of students referred to the office > 6x/year
-Increased school attendance.
-Significant decrease in violence on the playground.
-Improved adult relationships with students with challenging behaviors.
-Students gaining skills, voice and empowerment.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
Sound Discipline will spend the next three years:
-improving our model and continuing to demonstrate using school based data the impact of the whole school solution-focused approach so that:
-there is a significant cultural shift in our larger community in how students with challenging behaviors are disciplined so that
-more schools will adopt programs that TEACH social skills to students, teachers and families, and
-adopt data driven models for respectful school wide solution focused approaches for the sake of increased equity and academic excellence for all students.

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world [125 words]
As a family physician, Jody McVittie recognized that the Positive Discipline parenting skills she learned for her own family dramatically impacted families in her practice. Families that learned to listen to each other and to solve problems became ill less often: they had less dis-ease. She then collaborated with Terry Chadsey, an experienced master teacher, to bring the practices into schools. Their dream was to use the tools to teach students social skills, and to reduce the significant disparities in discipline that result in male students and students of color being disciplined more frequently and more harshly. It was their second big aha, years later, recognizing the importance of focusing on the patterns of challenging behaviors using school data that has driven the successful implementation in whole schools.
Viabilité
Quels sont vos différents partenariats ?
We collaborate actively with the national Positive Discipline Association (PDA). Our trainers are certified through the PDA and our work with whole schools is being replicated by other trainers and groups nationally and internationally – though without the same attention to data. We currently also partner with Washington Mentors, the National ParentNet Association, the Seattle School District, and the Northshore School District. We are working to grow a partnership with the City of Seattle.
Avec quelle équipe (employés, bénévoles, etc.) pensez-vous atteindre vos objectifs de croissance définis dans la section sur l'impact social? [75 mots]
Our board of directors will help develop and expand our partnerships and networking, while our growing team of facilitators ensures our capacity to work in new schools.
