In my 5-year journey with Sound Discipline, I’ve come to appreciate the deep inequity in our school system and the powerful transformation that is challenging, but possible, through Sound Discipline’s integrated, relationship-based program.

Sound Discipline is a lifeline for young students dealing with intergenerational trauma and racism. By creating a community of caring and skilled educators, we give these learners a fighting chance.

Thank you for fitting our four staff members into the school tour of Lakeridge Elementary today. WOW, did they come back fired up! I see hope all over them. Thank you again. We are so excited to work with Sound Discipline and have the support and guidance we need to create a safe, positive learning environment for ALL of our students.

I think this was the only parenting class I have taken where I felt empowered and not ridden with guilt afterwards.

The things we discussed [in the Sound Discipline training] helped me to evaluate my own parenting style, find the places where I can improve, and gave us practical advice for how to do better. I really enjoyed learning from the teachers and the other parents in a fun and low pressure setting and would definitely recommend this class to any other parent or caregiver. I am very grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to attend!

The training provided by Sound Discipline is some of the best training we have ever done. I am very critical before I put anyone in front of my staff. The training we have done was practical from the very beginning. It’s teacher centered. It’s problem centered. It’s very flexible. Our teachers started using what they learned immediately.

Our partnership with Sound Discipline has strengthened our social emotional learning curriculum by providing school-wide expectations for our school. The lessons encourage students to problem solve, build a strong class community, and put language to their feelings. We need our partnership more than ever. We’ve made incredible progress and we can’t afford to stop.
