Recognizing positive behavior

The use of praise in developing a positive atmosphere in the classroom cannot be underestimated. It is the key to developing positive relationships, including those learners who are hardest to reach. Systems that emphasize praise are more effective in motivating pupils to make appropriate choices and to repeat the associated behavior. The School employs a range of strategies to this end. Rewards and recognition contribute because they:

  • help to build and maintain positive relationships between staff and pupils and between pupils
  • make the school experience more enjoyable for pupils and all staff
  • encourage pupils to repeat the desirable behaviors that earned the rewards
  • contribute to pupils’ self-esteem and confidence

What do we do to encourage and recognize positive behaviors and attitudes?

Recognize achievement, effort, improvement and attitudinal behaviors

  • Instant verbal praise or written comment on work or in planners where appropriate
  • Make use of essential agreements to encourage students take responsibility for their behavior
  • Share positive news with parents e.g. notes in planner, e-mails and phone calls home.
  • Celebrate in assemblies and Celebrations of Learning
  • Class targets & agreed rewards
  • Assign students responsibilities and roles of leadership

Modifying poor behavior - the restorative approach

On those occasions where pupil behavior contradicts the school’s values and expectations on behavior, the school will employ positive interventions and restorative practices to provide the pupil with an opportunity to reflect on their behavior and to support them in recognizing how they can modify and improve their behavior and future actions.
Restorative practice aims to transform behavior and restore and improve relationships. This strategy allows all those involved to think about the choices they have made, the impact these choices have had on themselves and others and how better choices can be made in the future. It also allows pupils to take responsibility for their own behavior. Restorative practice aims to achieve the following:

  • A calmer, quieter and more productive learning environment
  • A more respectful climate
  • A shift away from sanction-based responses that aim to ‘manage’ behavior, toward a more relational approach
  • Better relationships amongst children and staff
  • People being more honest and willing to accept responsibility
