Teacher Training and School Discipline Practices

Social and cultural changes within school scenarios, and new practices on a new educational model in Mexico, require reflection on the needs for updated training for basic education teachers. The concept of discipline is interpreted as negotiation of rules, limits, interactions for inclusion, however, student behaviour reflects the violence of a violent society and dysfunctional families. Teachers are faced with the question: how to discipline without verbal, emotional, psychological and even physical violence? Children who are identified without objective criteria for assessing disruptive behaviour are violated in various ways by school authorities. Training in new forms of discipline will allow the inclusion and not the rejection of these children in the classroom. The family is an important factor in this task.
