St Jago High School Handbook Suggestions for the Discipline of Students Before you punish a student ensure that
the punishment fits the crime, it should not be excessive or overly easy. The aim is to correct the behaviour or deter the behaviour. At some point the student should be encouraged to acknowledge that his her action was inappropriate unacceptable. Punishment may include for detentions- apart of the lunchtime if this should happen inform students they should eat their lunch at break time or make the appropriate arrangements Students can be asked to clean windows of a classroom, pickup leaves etc. Please ensure that whatever punishment is given that the students are properly supervised.
If equipment is needed, inform the students beforehand of what they are to take. At the end of the punishment have the students reflect on their action and the consequences of their action, and
encourage them to avoid such Positive Discipline: Encourage and highlight positive behaviour by usi
System. When
students do well academically, reward them with certificates, tokens even stars and smiley faces. When children conduct
themselves in a positive way, commend them. Give them attention for positive behaviour, they will remember
and continue to do well, because every child loves praise. Once a student does something positive which is out of the ordinary, reward them with a merit. It is important that the teacher gives merits to
students who have earned them, as a student is more likely to be given a demerit than a merit by teachers. If students know that when they do well they will be rewarded they will be encouraged to do what is right.
Remember: CONCLUSION The teacher is a professional and is expected to perform as such. He/she must be aware of mode of dress,
punctuality, skill in imparting, language and appearance on and off campus. He/she must be a worthy example to the students. It is the duty of every teacher to familiarize himself/herself with the regulations concerning students and to do all that is possible to see that they are adhered to.
