A schoolâ€TMs ethos may be reflected in working practice by being laid out in the schoolâ€TMs prospectus and being displayed throughout the school. It will also be embodied in the thinking of the school and its staff and recognised by the pupils. The ethos of schools may differ slightly but all should maintain the same principles that children should be valued, celebrated and nurtured and this can be explored through celebrating and displaying examples of good work from children, recognising achievements, celebrating diversity and cultural and religious backgrounds and working with parents to take pride in their children and pupils. The atmosphere in schools should always remain positive and have attitude and respect for the school itself,
This is the core values which governs a setting. The ethos should be the way which the setting wants to operate. This could mean in accordance with a childcare theorist (e.g. Montessori); it could also mean a focus on creative arts or in another area.
Making a school successful takes more than individual effort, it takes teamwork. Individuals need to work together towards shared goals and commitments focusing on meeting the academic and social needs of all pupils in the school.
There are many ways in which the work setting can encourage children 's and you people 's positive behaviour, they are as follows:
Finally I ensured that pupils trusted that I would be there to help them at all times by reminding them both frequently that if they needed any support or assistance that they just needed to ask. This also meant that pupils worked independently until they required support which is an important part of learning. I also praised pupils regularly for how well they were behaving and carrying out their work which enabled them to feel respected and
In sustaining the positive environment, each principal was given the opportunity to boast about how each of the high schools completed the school year. Additionally, some spring athletes from each of the high schools, and the Science
A respectful is needed both with co-workers and parents/guardians of the children. Parents and any other adult that comes into the school is more likely to support the teacher or school if there is a strong and effective relationship in place. This positive relationship with the parents/guardians then benefits the pupils. If there is a strong connection, then anything that needs to be carried out at home can be relayed to the parent or guardian and the continuity can carry on. This then benefits the children or young person as they are aware of what is expected of them both in school and at home. A parent/guardian know more about their children so therefor it is important to listen to what the parents have to say.
Promote positive social connections between staff and students, among students, and between schools and home.
This unit aims to prepare the learner for working in a school. It covers key aspects of schools as organisations. This includes the structure of the education system, the roles and responsibilities of key members of the school team and the purpose of school ethos, mission statement and aims and values. Learners will also understand the reasons for the key legislation, policies and procedures which are followed in schools and how schools operate within a wider context.
The EYLF explains (2009, p.12) the five principles underpin practices which focuses on supporting and sustain practice in order to enhance children’s development in achieving learning outcomes. . The most relevant principle related to this scenario is respect for diversity, where educators must value and reflect the practices of diversity within the curriculum in the classroom. The curriculum makes the decisions that all children have the right to have their culture, identities, and strengths value and acknowledge (EYLF, 2009, p.13). Therefore, educators will provide opportunities for children to learn about differences and similarities amongst other children and how they can interact and learn together. Secondly, respectful and reciprocal relationships between students, educators and parents will develop respect, value and confidence. Educators will help children to learn about responsibilities and respect others, and value collaboration and teamwork EYLF, 2014, p.

Thinking about the definition of ethos involves not only the inclusive language, but also how the teacher represents the Association. Word choice such as “adheres,” “honour,” “dignity” and “service” all indicate that the teacher must represent the Association -- regardless of the school board he works for – honestly and responsibly as they are two characteristics of what would make teachers positive role models for their students. These would result in a change in education, as Lunenberg, Korthagen and Swennen (2007) mentioned. (p. 589) That does not necessarily mean a literal change in the curriculum, but how teachers carry their role leading to that change.
Ethos can be defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary as, “the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution.” Famous Greek philosopher and teacher Aristotle studied and taught the concept of ethos. In The Rhetoric, Aristotle identifies ethos as:
In these modern times, children spend most of their time in school, so a good school community should be available to them, the principal should be the one
Local engagement through links with community groups and organisations, enabling them to play a role in the school and encouraging pupils to make a positive contribution in the local area.
School should be a community that is warm, respectful, and open. Students spend approximately 30 hours a week in the classroom and it is imperative they are able to
