BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

At the Felician School our School Psychologist works closely with both students and staff to develop a behavior management system which stresses a positive approach to motivate appropriate behavior in all of our students.  This approach rewards behavioral compliance and a positive work ethic. All staff members are encouraged to initiate efforts to provide adequate structure, establish class rules, reinforce appropriate behavior, and identify behavioral and academic goals.

This system creates a consistent environment that promotes a sense of security and a positive learning environment for all of our students.

Some of the strategies implemented in behavioral management system include:

  • Redirection of student’s attention to an area of interest
  • Maintaining flexibility to meet the needs of each student
  • Offer a clear and concise explanation of why some behaviors are inappropriate

These procedures enable the students to be successful and productive.
