Creating Peaceful Classrooms: Judicious Discipline and Class Meetings.
McEwan, Barbara; Gathercoal, Paul
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n6 p450-54 Feb 2000
Judicious Discipline is a comprehensive, democratic classroom-management approach based on constitutional principles that balance personal rights against social needs. After rights and responsibilities are introduced, students learn to govern their own behavior by assessing their actions in terms of time, place, and manner. Class meetings help resolve conflicts.
