Tainui is a PB4L school. PB4L School-Wide looks at behaviour and learning from a whole-of-school as well as an individual child perspective. The framework is based on international evidence.
The Positive Behaviour for Learning School-Wide framework, otherwise known as PB4L School-Wide, is helping New Zealand schools build a culture where positive behaviour and learning is a way of life. The framework has been tailored to our own school’s environment and cultural needs.
It’s not about changing the students; it’s about changing the environment, systems and practices so that we support our tamariki to make positive behaviour choices.
Encourage Positive Behaviours
Positive behaviour can be learnt. A safe and caring environment that supports positive learning behaviour needs to be created.
Tips for success:
you can’t do it alone – kia mahitahi, work (and learn) as a team
- show children and young people you care, show that you believe in them, show that you trust them and play with them often
- have high (and realistic) expectations for children and young people. They will rise to these
- family and whānau usually know their children or young people best – involve them and you increase your chances of connecting with a child or young person children and young people don’t always know how to behave – you need to teach, regularly practice and positively reinforce the behaviour you want to see
- provide the foundations for all children and young people to learn and succeed – make sure all of your school or systems support positive behaviour
- remember the quiet ones – those who internalise their behaviour (e.g. withdraw or sulk) need the same positive attentions as those who externalise behaviour.
