“When it comes to discipline, it does not make sense for educators to use the criminal justice model first, before employing what they were professionally prepared to use-educational and mentoring approaches.”

Father Gathercoal, Judicious Discipline, 1993

Instructional Discipline “ Social Skills should be taught to

children using the same strategies that are used to teach academic skills- direct instruction, practice, feedback.”

Colvin and Sugai, 1988
