I believe that students need to be taught how to behave in various arenas. In addition, they need to be given an opportunity to practice behavioral expectations. Character building opportunities must take place in students' first school experiences and continue throughout their educational careers. I believe in restitution. In certain situations, students should be given the opportunity to fix their mistakes. Also, I believe in natural consequences. A natural consequence can sometimes be the best reprimand for a given situation. Lastly, I believe that if students are provided with the building blocks of love, power, freedom, choice and fun on a daily basis, they will begin to make better decisions concerning managing their own behavior. |
