"As a school psychologist I have worked with Responsibility-Centered Discipline at Youthville and Hesston High School. The team has implemented one of the few district wide behavior management programs that I have observed in the past 29 years that actually works."

"I enjoyed every minute of the training. I used the technique on two of my toughest students the next day and both were successful! I got an apology after one, and the other a handshake and a smile!"

"The best way to summarize our training is amazing. I apologize for the vagueness, but there's try no other way to describe it. Our teachers are still talking about the impact the RCD process will have. We are in our first full week of school and are already benefiting from all that we learned."
