As part of our ongoing commitment to relational practice, pupils and staff at Perran-ar-Worthal are participating in the second International Positive Noticing Day on Wednesday 13th November, an initiative developed by behaviour expert and author, Paul Dix.
The whole school community will be writing ‘positive notes’ on simple labels and sharing them with one another throughout the day.
Positive Noticing is simple, practical and highly effective. The impact of positive noticing is both immediate and long-lasting. It helps build self-esteem and confidence in children and shifts the culture in the classroom so that the right behaviour is always the most sought-after behaviour.
Dix says, ‘There is no denying that life has become more challenging for many people of late and it is easy to find ourselves thinking about all the negatives. Positive noticing is for every day, but I am in awe of the hundreds of schools and colleges that have used Positive Noticing Day to reset their thinking and remind their communities of the things we have to be proud and thankful for’.
