BRIEF SUMMARY
While discipline is not an appropriate task for a school counselor, we have insights and knowledge that are extremely helpful and can inform discipline procedures in schools. We have an obligation to advocate for policies that consider the whole child and are trauma informed.
KEY POINTS
- Relationship building is up paramount importance to any behavior plan.
- Teach and focus on the behavior you want to see.

- The Kids We Lose – A feature-length documentary about what happens to behaviorally-challenged children when they enter schools where educators are not able to mitigate the nonconforming behaviors.
