Discipline Policy
Learning is more than just academic skills. NECP believes that students will be more successful if the school culture is calm & positive; teachers explicitly teach social skills; a classroom & school community is built ensuring that every student belongs; & the school is intentional about teaching everyone to work with a variety of people. They believe that the social curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.
NECP teaches students how to be great people in addition to being great students. At Northeast College Prep, teachers intentionally develop strong communities in their classes by explicitly modeling, teaching, & problem solving how to work with one another. The entire school uses non-verbal strategies (Catalyst) to preserve relationships & manage behavior. They use the Responsive Classroom philosophy & are committed to training all teachers in this approach to teach intrinsic motivation & ensure all students feel safe, belong & have fun while learning. Additionally, teachers intentionally teach social skills through 2 or 3 lessons each week.
