What is it?• Effective

Schoolwide Discipline (ESD) is a proactive, multi-tiered approach to creating a positive teaching and learning environment.

Five Assumptions about increasing student academic achievement:

1. Safety and security is maintained and mutual respect is nurtured.

2. Schoolwide and classroom-level academic and behavioral supports are routinely available.

3. Emphasis is on prevention of and early intervention for academic and behavioral problems.

4. Administrators, faculty, and parents assume a collaborative relationship in addressing the teaching/learning process.

5. A school/home partnership promotes positive academic and behavioral outcomes for all students.
