Respect aims to prevent and reduce problem behaviour at individual, class- and school level through improving teacher skills.
Respect requires the involvement and commitment of everyone in the school, including pupils, school staff and parents. Respect emphasizes that adults should be unambiguous, predictable and considerate.
The programme focuses on how to prevent and stop bullying, violence and disobedience, and how to improve pupils` on task orientation and learning outcomes.
The goals in Respect are to support the school`s work on preventing and dealing with problem behaviour at an indi-vidual, class and school level, to strengthen the teacher as the class leader and to improve pupil learning.
The principles in Respect are based on authoritative class-room management, consistency between the selected initiatives, continuity vis-a-vis initiatives, breadth regarding both selec-tion of interventions and initia-tives as well as intervention areas, levels and participants.
