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?
-
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.
-
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.
