Additional comments:
Here at North Star Middle School we chose to call each other family by
respecting and supporting each other in achieving successes everyday. This mentality is
accomplish by following a team discipline plan revolving around the Prosocial Behavior
Model. Eisenberg & Fabes define Prosocial Behavior as voluntary behaviors made with
the intention of benefiting others (Knafo et al,1969).
We believe that each student should be provided the opportunity to be successful
in his/her life. We also believe that to promote this success, students are worthy of an
environment that is most conducive for learning which encourages a supportive
community atmosphere similar to that of a family. The Prosocial Behavior Model
encourages students to look outside of themselves in order to support their peers
through actions that benefit others rather than themselves. Knafo et al describes this
model as especially appropriate for developing students as it encompasses the persons
natural development cycle from self centered to an empathetic view towards others
(1969).
North Star Middle School incorporates Prosocial Behavior into several aspects of
our school. We implement this model into our school rules by put focus on how a
student's actions affects not only themselves but also those who surround them. We
include it in our Team Encouragement Strategy by making the prizes and consequences
of actions a group concern rather than an individual concern. Students receive
recognition based on homeroom team performance rather than personal achievement.
