This course introduces teachers and administrators to Responsibility-Centered Discipline™ (RCD™), which has helped thousands of educators across North America replace traditional discipline methods with a model that creates a culture of responsibility. RCD helps students internalize behavioral growth by strengthening the “muscle” of self-control. By focusing on what students can do themselves versus what educators can get them to do, students become responsible for their own behavior.
