Program Description
"Win-Win Discipline is the single most comprehensive and effective classroom discipline program available. Period. Never before has there been a more practical and powerful step-by-step approach to discipline. Win-Win seeks a higher goal than other discipline programs: The goal is not merely to end disruptions; the goal is to teach students to meet their unmet needs so they no longer need to be disruptive. Watch disruptive behavior disappear as Win-Win: • Turns Anger into Rational Decision-Making • Replaces Boredom with Active Engagement • Channels Excess Energy into Productive Learning • Transforms Attention-Seeking into Self-Validation • Ends Control-Seeking via Learned Self-Efficacy • Converts Avoidance of Failure into Self-Confidence"

Research & Evaluation
Research Summary
Although not specific to Win-Win Discipline, Jones and Sanford (2003) evaluated two 2-day teacher training sessions on key conflict skills and classroom management practices as part of the National Curriculum Integration Project (NCIP). The classroom management practices included strategies from Win-Win Discipline. Across various dimensions of classroom climate (e.g., cohesion, support, constructive conflict management), the NCIP teachers and classrooms had more positive climates than the control classrooms. Due to the lack of peer-reviewed evidence evaluating the Win-Win Discipline program specifically, there is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of the program at this time.
