Responsibility-Centered Discipline

Responsibility-Centered Discipline Helping Educators Create a Culture of Responsibility that Contributes to Academic Success

Over the past fifteen plus years, the Responsibility-Centered Discipline program has produced remarkable results as it has been implemented across North America. To be certain, RCD schools have seen significant decreases in office referrals, detentions and suspensions. But RCD schools have also moved away from an obedience-based model to a model that is centered on students taking responsibility for their own behavior as well as their own academic success. As schools drive toward improving academic results, educators have become far more purposeful in enhancing curriculum, refining assessment and enriching instruction. But without improving classroom management, all
of these other efforts will ultimately fall short of expectations. Educators understand that behavior and effort are often impacted by the relationships they have built with students. When emotions escalate, those relationships are tested — and often damaged. Responsibility- Centered Discipline helps educators to be prepared when situations come to a boil. By
empowering educators to become masters of challenging moments, RCD schools typically see a significant improvement not only in behavior management, but also in school climate, student and teacher satisfaction – and ultimately academic success.

If students aren’t carrying the weight, the change won’t stick.
Real discipline starts with responsibility.

When students learn to solve their own behavioral challenges, they strengthen their muscle of self-control—building regulation skills that last far beyond the classroom.

Looking for something sustainable?
RCD is the answer.
