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?
-
Our policies are all about respect, based on the fact that we are all children of God. The bar is high and students rise to it because expectations are clear.

I love our discipline policy in our school. Our students are crystal clear with our behavior expectations. We have them printed on posters in each class. Our administrator goes over them at back to school night before school begins. Teachers invite students to read them together the first day in each class. Our school wants to give the student the opportunity to change their be behavior with a warning. They know if they do not correct the behavior they will receive an infraction in which they will have to go to the vice principal’s office and talk about what they did and how they can improve their actions next time. Parents are notified so they are aware of the event. Our school mission statement is: The Mission of Casper Christian School is <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>to partner with the home and the church to provide students with Christ centered academic excellence that equips them to serve Christ in the world.

I have the Golden Rule posted in my classroom for students to remember to treat others how they want people to treat them. I refer to it when a student may have done something mean to another student and we talk about if that student would want someone else to do it to them? They usually say no and it usually helps them understand. Another policy is I try to not embarrass students in front of the class if they need to be corrected as a way to show them love. The personal discussions are usually a lot more effective.
-
One policy that I have in class is being respectful to one another especially if someone feels like their asking a dumb question. The consequences of disrepect is dicipline that the class agreed to.
-
Students in my classroom who are on board with rules and help establish order are encouraged to help those around them to do the same. This has been very effective, and teaches good leadership skills at the same time.
