Positive Discipline and the Wheel of Choice

Create a Wheel of Choice with your Students.

1. Brainstorm with your students a list of possible solutions for class or recess problems.
2. Then brainstorm and list as many solutions as they can think of to try.
3. On a pie-shaped chart write one solution in each section. Have students draw an illustration or symbol for each solution.
4. Hang the Wheel of Choice in a prominent location in the classroom.
5. When there is a conflict, ask students if they would like to use the Wheel of Choice to find a respectful solution to try.

You might want to use the Wheel of Choice a Problem-Solving E-Book that includes 14 lessons to teach students the skills for using a Wheel of Choice.
