PROCEDURE: STRATEGIES FOR POSITIVELY GUIDING BEHAVIOUR IN OUR KINDERGARTEN

1. Kindergarten is a time of tremendous social and emotional growth. Our behavioural procedure at AIS is designed to allow children the time to develop the social and self-management skills that they will carry throughout their learning journey. 2. AIS Kindergarten believes that children are individuals with their own skills, abilities, and unique qualities. Our positive guidance procedure honours children as individuals and respects the developmental stage of each child. 3. Our positive behaviour procedure is guided by the learner profile attributes of the IB Programme which help children become mindful members of their communities. These attributes are Caring, Communicators, Openminded, Principled, Risk-takers, Balanced, Knowledgeable, Thinkers and Inquirers. Through positive modelling, problem solving, communication and reflection, children at AIS Kindergarten begin to identify and apply these attributes to themselves and their classroom community. 4. Continued open communication between home and school is a crucial component of our behaviour procedure.

Your child's teacher will communicate with you if any behavioural issues need extra attention, and will work closely with you and your child to promote growth in this area. Repetitive disruptive behaviour will be logged. 5. Please share with your child's teacher any changes at home that may affect your child's day at school. This will help your child's teacher provide the necessary support at school.
