5. Positive Discipline

Trauma Informed Practice includes the use of positive discipline that is instructional and restorative.  Positive discipline is all about shifting from the concept of a one size fits all student discipline process, where the focus in on what rules have been broken, to individualizing student discipline. This shift is achieved by utilizing a continuum of responses that are meaningful to the student and focuses the attention on repairing the harm done and rebuilding damaged relationships.
