Describe one or two discipline policies in place in your classroom or at your school that adhere to the model discussed in this lesson. Have they been effective?

In my class students don’t make fun of other students’ artwork, if they do that, they are being punished.

Racism and physical violence of any sort are not tolerated and immediately are referred to the office. A lot of other disciplinary issues we try to solve in class with seating changes, re-teaching the expectations, having classwide discussions, or direct teaching on why we don’t say x, y, and z. I try to move on and not hold it against students who act out, and we begin with a clean slate each day.

One discipline policy is that students do not engage in put-downs. It’s a teachable moment, when the offending student is asked to consider how the other person feels and question whether the joke was really funny or just hurtful. It seems to be effective if handled correctly.

Our school believes in Christian values and Biblical principles. we don’t allow students to defame or belittle anyone. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. Bulling is not tolerated and will result in warning and then detention.

The first is to set the students up for success by making behavior expectations clear. If a student has a minor infraction, they are given time to reflect, and decide how to respond better next time. Our middle school has a demerit system. If the student is given two demerits in a single day, they will be given an after-school detention, with a call home to their parents. Greater discipline issues will immediately involve the principal and may include suspension.
