Watch Presentation
The Behaviour at School Study investigated how schools enact behaviour policies in a humane and educative way. A framework for developing and enacting humane behaviour policies and practices in schools was developed.
The themes of this framework are
- Philosophy for enacting humane behaviour policies
- Staffing to enact a collective philosophy
- Prioritising place and space
- Fostering an engaged and supportive school community
- Enacting humane behaviour policies and practices
This seminar, presented these findings and argued that schools can interrupt dominant traditional discourses about school discipline, student conformity, and punitive responses to unproductive behaviour by developing a strong philosophy and associated practices that place children’s wellbeing and engagement at the centre of their work.
