We are proud with our efforts creating a more positive, safe, and caring learning environment that focuses on co-operative management and discipline. Consistency Management and Co-operative Discipline (CMCD) incorporates the use of many structures in the classroom to teach and model behaviors that promote self-monitoring of behavior and co-operative management of the classroom.
