Scenarios to Solve
Class meetings offer students and whole classes the opportunity to develop a variety of social, communication and self-management skills through the Positive Discipline framework. We are very fortunate that time has been allocated in all PYP homerooms each day for students and teachers to connect through class meetings. Each meeting is like a fingerprint, very different in the learning and connection it contains due to its adaptive nature.
In the photo above, students from Mrs. Maya's 4F homeroom are using scenarios to develop skills. This example has students discussing school procedures and how to participate in them safely and kindly. In the early part of the school year, class meeting are often focused on routines and procedures with deeper dives into problem solving once the basics are covered. Through class meetings, classes can use the power of "us" to work their way through most any problem.

In our commitment to student wellbeing and safeguarding, the GIS PYP has rolled out an interesting, unique and transformational class space called the “Calm Corner.” As part of our Positive Discipline initiative towards students’ social and emotional learning, each classroom now hosts a Calm Corner where students can practice self-management skills.

Calm Corners are designed to create a space and moment for students to process thoughts and emotions using skills gained during “Class Meetings,” another of our major Positive Discipline initiatives.

Calm Corners are centered around the idea that students learn and develop skills to work and problem-solve their way through common, unique or complex situations, moments or emotions.
