Overview

The Science of Discipline is a proven and transformative roadmap to tackling some of the biggest behavioral problems faced in school systems today. Nathan Maynard, a global leader in discipline and restorative practices, offers insightful theories and practical strategies to take a more proactive approach to improve student behavior in the classroom with immediate and long-lasting effects. Many behavior modification models are outdated and fear-based, creating more challenges than they solve. Instead, this book walks you through Maynard's signature trauma-informed approach, focusing on belonging, accountability, and logical consequences for students. Supported by research in behavioral neuroscience, as well as Maynard's experience consulting and training thousands of educators and working with students in some of the most complex school systems across the globe, this book gives you eight strategies to work through challenges students and educators face: discipline; cultivating accountability; ending loneliness in schools; building empathy; respect; the power of differentiated thinking; raising kids; and understanding the ""bad kid"". Featuring powerful stories from students and teachers, this book also shares Maynard's inspiring journey from generational poverty, childhood trauma, and a 'bad kid' reputation to a life dedicated to healing others worldwide.
