Assertive Discipline

Assertive discipline is an example of a school-wide discipline plan that every teacher in the school follows. Being an elementary physical education teacher, it is great to be able to follow a school-wide plan. I have my own rules for inside the gymnasium, but I also incorporate the school wide behavior rules as well. Our school wide discipline plan is.....SOARING TO SUCCESS

S-Stay safe

O-Offer a helping hand

A-Aim to achieve

R-Respect yourself, others, our environment and our school

I always ask my students: How high are you soaring?

Our school mascot is a seahawk, so I have pictures of a Selser Seahawk soaring high over the mountains "Soaring high for Success!"

If students go above and beyond the SOARING expectations (ex: helping the teacher pick up equipment, chairs, material, etc.) they will receive a boarding pass. This boarding pass is very important because at the end of every month, if they have received 7 or more passes, then they will get a prize, or be invited to an ice cream party!

I am on the Soaring to success team committee, and we decide on prizes and different criteria that students need to accomplish to receive a boarding pass. I believe that this discipline plan has been very effective, and the students are responding very nicely.
