RCD Trainers
RCD Schools typically see a significant improvement not only in behavior management, but also in school climate, student and teacher satisfaction and ultimately academic success.

Keenan Tolbert, M.ed.
Keenan Tolbert, M.Ed., began his career as a classroom teacher and coach in New York State — and has worked at the elementary, middle and high school levels. Following a district-wide facilities merger, the need for a more consistent and effective approach to student discipline and management was recognized. Keenan accepted the role of Dean of Students at the combined middle school, and was charged with reforming school discipline. Following the core principles of Responsibility- Centered Discipline, he facilitated a major shift in the school’s approach – an approach that has transformed how students, teachers and administrators view school discipline.
Under Keenan’s leadership, together with Principal Rick Kimble, his school has become an RCD National Model School. They have experienced a significant decline in student behavioral incidents and office referrals, and the joy of watching students take responsibility for their own behaviors and personal growth. Keenan now not only works daily at supporting and training his colleagues, but also helps schools throughout North America succeed with the RCD process

"RCD gives specific ways to deal with disruptive behavior. The "Give 'em Five" support is especially helpful. I can use the strategies right away!"
Classroom Teacher
Cleveland, OH
"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."
