Abstract	The purpose of this article is to provide middle level educators with an orientation to the theoretical constructs and tenets of Choice Theory (Glasser, 1998) as both a preventive and remedial framework for supporting the development of students exhibiting school disciplinary behavioral problems. The following three topics are addressed: (1) issues relating to school disciplinary problems; (2) the theoretical constructs and tenets of Choice Theory as a guide for group counseling or other educational interventions in school; and (3) a case example illustrating the application of this approach by a middle school counselor. This article is aligned with "This We Believe: Successful Schools for Young Adolescents" (National Middle School Association, 2003), which states that effective middle schools facilitate a learning environment that is supportive and safe for all young adolescents. 'This We Believe" (2003) goes on to advocate that "successful schools for young adolescents provide multifaceted guidance and support services" (p. 32). (ERIC).
