Reinforcement Policy
The policy is part of the comprehensive policy titled “Behavior for Learning Policy”-version of September 2018 which was reviewed in June 2019 by Phase Leaders and Students’ Support Committee.
Abiding by this policy ensures the smooth pacing of the day-to-day Teaching and Learning processes at DIPS-G and guarantees highest levels of student’s safety at all times.
Positive Reinforcement Policy
The school’s positive reinforcement policy is designed to encourage students to rethink their own actions and take positive steps towards improving their behavior. Accompanied with the support of all members of the school, students are given the opportunity and support to regain lost marks in conduct and show their sincere willingness and capabilities to become more positively engaged in the school community and life.
Through offering this policy we aim at making win-win situations to both students and the school community. At DIPS-G, we aim to:
- Promote high standards of behavior
- Promote self-discipline among students, proper respect for authority, and acceptance of responsibility for their own actions
- Create and maintain a positive, safe, and orderly school climate where effective learning can take place and all students can grow academically, socially and emotionally with mutual respect between all members of the school community, for belongings and the school environment.
We believe that our aims are achieved when:
- Clear expectations are established, understood, and accepted through regular activities which define the limits of acceptable behavior.
- The choice to behave responsibly is placed on students.
- Students are assisted and guided in making responsible behavior choices.
- Students are provided with good role models
Students may compensate for the lost marks by taking measurable and practical steps during or after their school day. They can retrieve all or part of their lost conduct marks depending on how serious they are in performing their assigned work.
