Discipline Policy
Learning is more than just academic skills. NECP believes that students will be more successful if: their school culture is calm & positive; teachers deliberately teach social skills two to three times a week; the classroom & school community is built to ensure that every student belongs; & the school is intentional about teaching everyone to work with different people. For NECP, the social curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.
NECP teaches students how to be great people, along with being great students. At NECP, teachers intentionally develop strong communities in their classes by modeling, teaching, & problem-solving how to work with one another. The entire school utilizes non-verbal strategies (Catalyst) to preserve relationships & manage their behavior. They use the Responsive Classroom philosophy & are committed to training all teachers in this approach to teach intrinsic motivation. NECP’s goal is to help all students feel safe, belong, & have fun while learning.
