Ever feel stuck when it comes to classroom discipline? You're not alone. In this episode of The Lead Serve Teach, D.Paul Miller shares a real story from his own classroom and breaks down how discipline doesn’t have to be about control—it can actually build stronger relationships. If you're tired of the same old punishment cycle, this one’s for you. It’s all about staying calm, asking better questions, and leading with empathy.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
Why discipline isn’t just about keeping order—it’s a chance to build trust and lead.
-
How staying calm (not controlling) can actually fix more problems.
-
The power of focusing on student choices, not their character.
-
Simple questions that help students figure out why they act—and how to choose better next time.
