All teachers will be
trained in Positive Discipline by the Spring of 2007.
Positive discipline is an approach that prepares children for responsible
citizenship. Positive discipline encourages the use of solution
focused discipline to build a learning community that models mutual
respect, cooperation, and responsibility in the classroom and school
wide.
In a Positive Discipline School, every adult...
•Understands that the quality of relationships and school
climate
are absolutely critical to successful student learning.
•Seeks to establish strong meaning and connection for students,
families and staff in social and academic contexts.
•Implements principles of mutual respect and encouragement.
Focuses on long-term solutions to misbehavior at individual, class,
and school-wide levels.
•Views mistakes as opportunities to learn and misbehavior
as opportunities to practice critical life skills.
•Questions the tradition of an adult control, rewards and
punishment.
