Unlocking the Potential of Positive Reinforcement in Education
At Sapienti International School, we embrace a modern approach to student discipline that fosters respect, enthusiasm, and positive behavioral developments. Gone are the days of conventional penalty-driven measures; instead, we engage students through positive reinforcement tactics that align with our core educational principles.
What is Positive Reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement involves acknowledging and rewarding desirable behaviors, thus encouraging students to repeat them. It shifts focus from punishing undesirable actions to celebrating successes, however small.
