Cougar Byte Episodes

In this episode, our guests, Positive Discipline lead trainer Cathy Kawakami and our Head of Early Childhood & Elementary Education Jane Murphy sit down to talk about what Positive Discipline is (and what it isn't), why ACDS adopted it as their SEL curriculum, and how parents also play an integral role in supporting Positive Discipline outside of school.

Kicking off Season 2, we are proud to have co-authors, renowned Bay Area family therapist and parenting expert Sheri Glucoft Wong, LCSW and Head of School Dr. Olaf Jorgenson on the Cougar Byte. This episode features their new parenting book, Raising Kids: An Essential Guide to Everyday Parenting which launches in late October 2022.

In our final part, part three, of this 3-part series, we continue our conversation with Dr. James Knight and his work with cultural humility. 

In part two of this 3-part series, we continue our conversation with Dr. James Knight and his work with cultural humility.
