POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING
Our Vision for 2020 and beyond…
Our aim is to recognise positive contributions that are made by the students, to encourage student academic performance and to improve self-esteem.
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is an educational process that brings together the whole-school community to contribute to developing a positive, safe and supportive learning culture. The PBL framework assists schools to improve social, emotional, behavioural and academic outcomes for children and young people. PBL is a process, not a program.
At Freemans Reach Public School, PBL is being introduced into our daily practices, so teachers and students have more time to focus on relationships and classroom instruction.
Our SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS are-
Be safe
Be respectful
Be a good learner
Be environmentally friendly
Our whole-school reward system aims to encourage students for the effort and good choices they make with their learning, their behaviour and their relationships.
Of course, in life, not everything we do is met with reward. Our PBL process, supports children in making good choices right now- by providing incentive and motivation, so they can make these good choices as young adults. Intrinsic motivation is the ultimate goal. But for young students, this needs to be strategically worked towards. As adults, we too respond to external motivation or incentive.
Incentive helps our children to value their own effort and achievements and see the direct link between determination and reward. For children (and adults), motivation can take many forms.
