Last term staff and children evaluated current approaches to managing positive relationships at PUSCPS. We also took part in career long professional along with our cluster using research from Paul Dix’s book, When the adults change everything changes.
Using our evaluation and research we have now came up with a consistent approach, which is shared below. We will also explain this further at our Visit Our Class workshops (watch this space!).
Our approaches are based on reinforcing positive choices, using restorative approaches and helping to support children be responsible for their choices. We wanted our corrective actions to be immediate to give children time out to think about their consequences rather than waiting until the end of a day or a week. We also wanted 30 minutes of together time to be available each week for all children, as this is an important part of their social development with peers.
We hope you find the information below useful, and if you have any questions we look forward to answering them at Visit My Class.
Below is also information about our playground.
