Kate Silverton Instagram – @bbclooknorth have just called to ask me how it feels to know that my books have inspired Tina Cox @staugustinescvastamford to change the school’s behaviour policy to remove shame-based policies and introduce more compassionate inquiry instead … it’s an understatement to say I am THRILLED… it can take great courage to turn ‘old school’ attitudes towards discipline on their head ( discipline should mean to teach and support the student – rather than punish ). Just as we do not shame a child if they get sum or spelling wrong – so neither should we shame a child when they make a mistake with their behaviour … children learn best when we model the behaviour we want to see … not demonstrate the behaviour that we don’t.
You can see the full interview and report on @bbclooknorth tomorrow from 18.30 and on @bbciplayer from 19.05
