Aslam o Alaikum dear Mishael-Naqash,
Hope this text finds you well.
As you know that the punishment has a ban in our country Pakistan. The educators must have to search a different technique for clear understandings to his/her students. All the techniques you had already specified In your post. What I like most is group study and home work assignment. Through these techniques I help students take responsibility, learn conflict resolution skills, and feel heard and valued.
What technique you use in your class?
Regards

@Mishael-Naqash Proactive and positive behavior strategies foster mutual respect and responsibility.
Clear expectations and strong teacher-student relationships build trust and safety.
Restorative practices promote accountability and empathy over punishment.
Unlike traditional punitive methods, these approaches reduce fear and resistance.
Shifting from control to collaboration empowers students and supports teacher well-being.

@Mishael-Naqash this topic is very important and still applied in our country by most of our respected teachers even our Government banned the punishment method so still we need som

@Mishael-Naqash
This is very important issue, as most of our teachers in our country still use punishment, despite the government has banned it and now promotes reward and appreciation-based methods.
We need to apply modern strategies that encourage positive student behavior and improve learning. The government should also focus on teacher training, so educators can work together in a supportive environment and move from traditional methods towards student centered learning method.

@Mishael-Naqash
Proactive and positive behavior strategies, such as setting clear expectations, fostering strong relationships, and implementing restorative practices, create a more respectful and productive classroom environment. These approaches emphasize collaboration and personal growth rather than punishment. In contrast, traditional punitive methods focus on control, often leading to resentment and disengagement. Shifting the mindset from punishment to partnership helps students take ownership of their behavior, builds trust, and encourages meaningful learning experiences. Teachers also benefit, as a cooperative classroom dynamic reduces conflict and promotes a supportive, engaged learning atmosphere.

Proactive behavior strategies such as clear expectations, relationship building, and restorative practices—help create a respectful, engaged classroom environment. Unlike punitive approaches that rely on control, these methods foster accountability, trust, and collaboration. When educators shift from punishment to partnership, students feel more empowered to take responsibility for their actions, leading to stronger relationships and deeper learning. This approach not only enhances student outcomes but also improves overall classroom dynamics, making interactions more positive and productive.
