Principal's Report

Staff Development

Each term, our SWPBS Team looks at the data from across the school to find a focus from our Staughton Student Matrix to promote across the school. This term, our focus is:

I demonstrate respectful behaviour by adhering to classroom rules and expectations

Having a calm, predictable, and orderly learning environment is a precursor to improved student connectedness and learning in classrooms. At Staughton, teachers make classroom expectations and routines clear for students, particularly at the beginning of each semester. Research has shown many benefits to having clear rules and expectations, including:

• Students feel more connected in a predictable environment where they understand what is going to happen and why.
• Greater clarity for students about what they are expected to do leads to more opportunity for students to become actively involved in their learning.

During this term, we will be focusing on teaching students this aspect of respectful behaviour. As part of this, we will be particularly looking to acknowledge the many students meeting expectations with our merit tickets.
