Core Principles
Positive Relationships:
Prioritizing strong, respectful connections between staff, students, and families. This involves showing genuine care, empathy, and understanding for each student's individual needs.
Restorative Practices:
Shifting from punitive measures to restorative approaches that focus on repairing harm, building relationships, and promoting accountability.
Social-Emotional Learning:
Integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) into the school's culture and curriculum to help students develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Clear Expectations and Consistent Consequences:
Establishing clear, age-appropriate rules and expectations, and consistently enforcing them with logical, non-punitive consequences.
Individualized Approach:
Recognizing that each student is unique and may require different approaches to behavior support.
Collaboration and Communication:
Encouraging open communication and collaboration between staff, students, families, and the wider community.
Behavior Intervention
Here at Union Park Middle School, we emphasize a positive, supportive, and restorative approach to student behavior. We focus on building positive relationships, fostering a sense of belonging, teaching students how to make responsible choices, and accepting accountability. We focus on creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment where students can thrive both academically and socially.
