Educating with Values: Integrating Positive Discipline in Modern Schools

Education systems worldwide are navigating a critical shift from compliance-driven schooling toward approaches that honor the dignity, wellbeing, and moral growth of every learner. Educating with Values provides policymakers and practitioners with a practical academic roadmap for integrating value-based education and positive discipline into modern school systems. Drawing on global comparative evidence from high- and middle-income contexts, the book demonstrates how learning environments flourish when discipline becomes restorative, relationships become central to pedagogy, and values are embedded across curriculum, leadership, and policy structures.
With strategic recommendations grounded in human rights and whole-child development, this book supports education leaders in building school cultures where students feel safe, respected, and empowered to contribute positively to their communities.
