Abstract: Student discipline remains a significant concern in educational settings, affecting student learning and overall wellbeing and the entire school environment. This research investigates the significant role of mentoring programs in fostering positive behavioral changes and enhancing student discipline within educational settings. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple electronic databases, including Proquest, ERIC, Researchgate and SAGE journals utilizing keywords such as “mentoring,†“student discipline,†“school – based program†, “behavior,†“conduct,†and “mentoring models.†Drawing upon a comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical studies, this paper explores various mentoring models, their theoretical underpinnings, and their demonstrated impact on student discipline. Key findings suggest that well-structured mentoring initiatives, characterized by consistent support, clear communication, and positive role modeling, can significantly reduce disciplinary infractions, improve students’ self-regulation skills, and cultivate a sense of responsibility.
