Responsibility-Centered Discipline: Keeping Students on the Path of Accountability
Larry Thompson
Corwin
Hundreds of schools across North America are embracing Larry Thompson's Responsibility-Centered Discipline (RCD) -- a groundbreaking approach that supports students in developing intrinsic motivation and growing as conscientious and active members of their school communities. Emphasizing responsibility, empathy, and self-regulation, RCD offers a transformative whole-school method to create a thriving school climate and responsible students. In this clear and explicit guide, Thompson presents an overview of RCD and its foundations, the six exits students commonly use to avoid responsibility, a structured conversation to return students to a path of responsibility, and a process educators can implement to create a solutions space. Additional features include: (1) Success stories from the field; (2) Research highlights; (3) Coaching conversations; and (4) Questions to help readers apply the information to their own contexts. A must-read for teachers and education leaders seeking to reimagine discipline for a healthier and more supportive educational environment, Responsibility-Centered Discipline provides research-based actions to build skills such as responsibility, perseverance, empathy, and self-regulation in every learner from preK through high school.
