Discipline

Positive Discipline (Developed by Fredric Jones)

Positive Discipline is based on mutual respect. If a student chooses to misbehave, the teacher uses proximity as a first attempt to get the student back on task. The conversation between the student and teacher is private. If the student consistently chooses inappropriate behavior, the teacher goes to a Backup System. If you would like more information please speak with your child’s teacher or the principal.

 

Second Step (Developed by The Committee for Children)

       Students are taught to reduce impulsive and aggressive behavior, which increases their level of social competence.  The program accomplishes this by teaching skills in empathy, impulse control, and anger management.  The students learn through modeling, practice, and reinforcement.

 

Time Out Procedures (Developed by Spring Valley Faculty)

Students who choose not to follow classroom or school procedures/ guidelines will have the opportunity to get in control of their behavior through a series of steps. 

  • Time Out #1      The student is given a verbal warning at his/her seat.

  • Time Out #2      The student must move to the back of the room.

  • Time Out #3      The student is sent to the Student Support Monitor.

If a student is disrupting the learning of others he/she will be sent to the Student Support Monitor immediately.
