Maintaining Effective Discipline

Dan Sullivan insists that no teacher can wield godly authority until he first forgives every authority who ever wounded him and submits afresh to Christ. Only then, he says, can we carry both “grace and truth” into the room—clear rules, swift consequences, warm encouragement, and at least three “guy-wires” of influence (punishment, incentives, and relentless parent partnership) to steady every young life until they learn to stand, and finally to walk, in self-disciplined obedience.

"Maintaining Effective Discipline" was presented at Western Fellowship Teachers' Institute 2017.
