Welcome to Beyond the Infraction, a simple but powerful intervention
program for secondary-level students that takes them beyond the
infraction and toward the goal of learning from poor choices. These twenty-eight
infraction-specific tools were created at the request of educators by
educators.
Access is limited to schools that 1) have a current Educator
Resource Site (ERS) subscription and 2) have paid the one-time fee for
online access to Beyond the Infraction.
Accessing Beyond
the Infraction requires a current Educator Resource
Site subscription, plus a one-time fee.
Access is password protected. If you cannot access Beyond
the Infraction, please contact your principal or Project
Wisdom contact person to inquire as to whether or not your
campus has purchased this intervention program.
To avoid overexposure, the developers of these intervention
tools strongly recommend that they not be used for individual
classroom management. Access should be limited to principals,
assistant principals, counselors, and disciplinarians.

About
the Program
The Latin root
of the word discipline is disciplina, which
means "instruction given." Every encounter with
students has the potential for teaching and learning. This
is especially so with encounters made during the discipline
process. Interactions with students can be particularly fruitful
when students are allowed to consider choices and consequences
and make the connection between cause and effect.
At the request of educators, Project Wisdom created these
simple but powerful intervention tools that take students
Beyond the Infraction and toward the goal of learning
from poor choices. Administrators and counselors can employ
these tools to initiate conversations with students involved
in the discipline process, place the worksheets and notes
into student files, and use them as communication tools with
teachers and parents.
"As a former practitioner, I always wanted each encounter with
discipline to be a learning experience. These tools have that potential.
I like the structure very much."
