Teachers should communicate with parents daily regarding their child�s performance. Each teacher will develop a system with each parent, as necessary, in order to relay the behavior of the student daily to the parent.
The following Biblical people types are utilized to characterize a student�s actions:
The Wise: The goal is to become wise, thinking God�s thoughts, acting God�s way
We become wise by consistently making wise choices.
Proverbs 4:7
Luke 2:52
James 1:5
Psalm 51:6
Ecclesiastes 2:26
In all situations students are encourage to ask the following questions:
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus say?
The Simple: A follower, a very gullible person, easily deceived by others, does not foresee evil ahead or the consequences. God�s word will make him wise and help him to not believe all he sees or hears.
Proverbs 14:15, 13:20, 22:3, 19:25, 21:11, 9:4-6
The Fool: Doesn�t see anything wrong with what he is doing, enjoys getting into mischief and must be corrected. He brings grief and sorrow to his parents. He tattles and is quick to quarrel. Quick tempered. He doesn�t flee temptation, thinks what he is doing is right.
Proverbs 10:23, 17:25, 10:1, 19:13, 15:20, 29:11, 14:16
The Scorner: Bad attitude, anger, disgust, dislikes those who correct him and doesn�t listen to them, causes quarrels and strife, is disgusting and wants to solve his problems himself and not go God�s way.
Proverbs 15:12, 13:1, 22:10, 24:9, 14:6
Procedure: Each day a student begins in the wise column, but is moved down with simple mistakes (a small error that if he had thought it through, the action would not have occurred i.e. talking without permission, interrupting class, etc.).
The students are given three chances at each level. The first row of the fool column will result in a note home. The second row of the fool column will result in a call home to parents. The third row of the fool column will result in a cause for Administrative Intervention and parent conference. If there is still no change in the behavior of the child, the child will be expelled from school and dis-enrolled from CCA.
There are several consequences in place for the various levels violated. These consequences will vary based on the grade/age level of each student. Some examples of consequences are as follows:
Time Out
Missing time on recess
Writing a letter to parent
Writing a letter to student
Spending the day with the student they have a problem with
Lunch by themselves
Office time away from peers to consider better actions
Conference with teacher
Conference with principal
Each teacher will develop consequences that fit his/her classroom. For a list of consequences please see your child�s teacher.
