The school lays emphasis on self-discipline as discipline plays a vital role in holistic development of a student. It is our aim to imbibe in each student, a sense of accountability, good etiquettes, moral and ethical values along with the skill to respect & learn to live together in harmony and peace. In view of the above, the school has the following policy to inculcate a sense of discipline among the students.
Reinforcing The Positive
We need to frequently observe, encourage and reward children’s disciplined behavior. Reinforcement is a strategy that is effective across a wide array of behaviors and contexts and should be used frequently! Reinforcement can be used for any positive behaviors that you want to see more often. Differential attention is a great way to replace mild negative behaviors such as whining and complaining with appropriate behaviors such as persistence and independence. A more formal reinforcement system can be used for behaviors that are more difficult to change.The following is a list of attributes which would be kept in mind for the assessment of ‘Positive Learning Behaviour’.
