- 7. I absolutely lovethe Conscious Discipline method. It’s a classroom management system to help both the students and teachers by using Brain Smart strategies to respond rather than react to life events. One of my favorite methods from this is the S.T.A.R. method. Smile. Take a Deep Breath and Relax. There is also a Safe Place. The safe place is made up of anything you want it to and the children are allowed to sit and read or do whatever they want when they are feeling sad, angry, scared, etc…These methods are all a great way to use in any classroom. It helps with limiting discipline, motivating children and increase in kindness and joy.
