Description

Every Conscious Discipline implementation story is different. Conscious Discipline can be customized to fit your school, your goals, and your needs. For Sandy Mummey, the best approach was to go slowly. Sandy gave her staff time to examine their values, discuss what they wanted for children, and develop agreements and commitments that reflected their beliefs. Now in the third year of implementation, Sandy can clearly see that her approach is working. In this episode, principal Sandy Mummey shares her experience implementing Conscious Discipline at Oceanlake Elementary School in Lincoln City, Oregon. Sandy’s implementation process was guided by her motto: “Go slow to go fast.” After allowing acceptance and understanding of Conscious Discipline to unfold naturally, she has seen noticeable transformation within her staff. That transformation is now spreading to the students. Listen to Sandy’s story and tips, plus learn about a powerful exercise that you can lead with your own staff. Essential Takeaways • One effective approach to Conscious Discipline implementation is “going slow to go fast.” Give your staff time to examine their values, discuss what they want for children at your school, and gradually embrace a new mindset and learn new skills. • Drafting collective agreements and commitments with your staff creates a guiding document that provides clarity and unity on your Conscious Discipline journey. • Connection is key: administrator to staff member, staff member to staff member, staff member to children, and children to children.
