Discipline Policy
At the Good Shepherd we attempt to teach self-control by good example and
gentle reminders. Peer problem solving and positive reinforcement
techniques are used routinely. Children incapable of attending in a group
setting may be allowed to play quietly nearby. If ordinary attempts to
correct undesirable behavior fail, the child will be escorted to a quiet area
away from the other children (within the classroom area) and remain there, under
supervision until self control is regained. Under no circumstances are the
following methods of discipline to be used:
A technique called "Peer Problem Solving" is used to encourage
children to settle disputes with their peers. The teacher is present as a
facilitator. The following is a description of the technique:
- The teacher holds each child's hand and encourages the children to hold
each other's hand
- The teacher encourages the children to tell each other how they feel about
the problem, redirecting them to speak to each other if they try to speak to
the teacher.
- When the children are finished talking about their feelings, the teacher
encourages them to find a solution to their problem
- When a solution is reached and agreed upon, the teacher asks if either
child needs a hug. If the solution is acceptable to both children,
even if it doesn't seem equitable to the teacher, it stands.
