Focus on how students can better collaborate or communicate with one another during projects.

When discussing conflict and cooperation in history, self-awareness in literature, or problem-solving in mathematics, ask the students to relate the process to a situation in their own lives.

Most common forms of this approach include a morning meeting, a weekly meeting, or an advisory period where teachers facilitate a lesson on a social emotion learning competency.

Consider implementing mindfulness, meditation, or quiet time in the classroom instead of detention. Discuss why a student responded inappropriately and employ restorative justice practices or introduce peer mediation and peer mentoring.
