Perspective Podcast #35 Behaviour as Belonging: Rethinking Rules and Relationships


Listen Later

Behaviour policies often focus on control and compliance. But what if behaviour is really about belonging? In this episode, we explore how reframing behaviour through the lens of relationships and community can transform school culture — from punitive rules to practices that build trust, safety, and shared responsibility.

* Why belonging is the foundation of behaviour

* How rules without relationships fail to stick

* Practical ways to create a culture of fairness and consistency

* Stories of schools that shifted from compliance to connection

* What leaders can do to make behaviour about inclusion, not exclusion
