Behaviour+Policy


 * //__Rationale:__// I believe that the most important aspect of behaviour management is good planning and a well established relationship. When students work within an environment of respect and authenticity, with appropriately challenging and highly engaging tasks, are given choices and are subject to fair consequences, there are considerably less negative behaviour issues. In this environment, students have little to no desire or reason to act inappropriately.**

Junior R students are enrolled in Class Dojo, a behaviour reinforcement application. This system allows for a highly visual and immediate reward for teacher-selected elements. To begin term 1, students will be rewarded for having pencils cases and hats, showing respect, helping others, following silent reading guidelines and general participation. These elements were selected to establish expectations with the new class and to give students an incentive to act appropriately. When the students are settled, negative points will be included.

The four students with the highest number of positive points each week will receive merit awards. Others may receive merits awards based on incidences of outstanding behaviour.

The elements will change according to class needs throughout the year.

Student behaviour will also be subject to established school procedures.
