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?
-
When a student gets in trouble for speaking meanly to a friend, I talk to them, and then we pray for forgiveness. They then will ask for forgiveness from their friend. It is very effective.
-
Students who go against school policies are individually talked to address the situation and if it is repeated, the child’s parents are made aware of it. It is relatively effective.
-
Finding ways for redemption and relating it to our redemption.

I worked with disabled people one summer. Morning time they got to each talk about anything that was going on with them. They were to be respectable to the one talking and then they would have their turn. Gave them a feeling of community and compassion.
I was kind to them and some of them had attitudes. I would be nice to them and tell them when they were being mean to me and that it was not nice, and they would usually change their attitude. But we had emergency fire drills and would have to line up to leave the school. To discipline them because of uncontrollable attitudes we would have them sit next to us and they had to watch what everyone else was doing. Then the next time they were well-behaved. Once they get used to the system. They all usually follow the rules. It is just when you first get them together you pick up on traits. Once you get to know the children their character proves. -
We have rules established that are carried out at every grade level. They are all based on scripture for example “Put God First”- Matthew 22:37- Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. A second one is “Respect for Others”- Matthew 22:39- Love your neighbors as yourself.
When the rules are not followed the students are given a tally and the Dean of Students will discuss the issue with the student. We try to nurture the students and help them understand what they did wrong and how they can be more Christian like.These are only a couple of the rules that we have but I believe that they are effective.
