The Watershed School’s Philosophy of School Management
In Teaching Children to Care (2002), published by NEFC, the authors list two basic goals of school-wide management plans:
- Children need to develop self-control
- Children need to develop a sense of community
There are different ways we can teach correct school-wide behavior. The Watershed School will focus of the following key components:
- Teachers must model rules for children. This procedure will be used to show the students what is expected of them and how to be successful in different situations.
- Children must be given opportunities to role play correct behavior. Appropriate behaviors will be reinforced repeatedly in safe and predictable situations.
