ENVoY
ENVoY is a nonverbal classroom management technique adopted by PACT in 2017. It’s all about the tone of voice, position of the body, and the way to look at students that have the most significant impact on student behavior in the classroom. Teachers are trained to build awareness of these nonverbal patterns they use with students and, when possible, save their words for curriculum and building relationships—and the results have been amazing. We are seeing better relationships, productivity, and an increase in student independence. It makes for a healthy and respectful classroom environment.
Love and Logic
The Love and Logic approach is a behavior management program that has been very effective in dealing with issues in the classroom. It neutralizes arguing, offers delayed consequences, shows empathy, and develops a positive teacher-student relationship. It’s a way to set enforceable limits that prevents power struggles and guides students to own and solve their problems. It has been a useful tool for PACT’s teachers that allows them to enjoy time with their students!
To support our Love and Logic discipline philosophy, our Secondary program utilizes a School Discipline Support Room. The room is used as a tool for teachers and students to work out behavior issues after school. This allows students to stay in the classroom during the day, so they do not miss out on instruction. The room is staffed by a teacher and runs after school from 3:15-4:15 p.m., as needed.
