Survey Says…..

• What factors do you think are the strongest predictors of academic achievement and positive behaviors?

– Supportive teacher behaviors (e.g., caring, helpfulness, quality of interactions, listening, etc.)

– Positive relationships with teachers (e.g., trust, support, sense of being valued and welcomed)

– Having positive relationships with peers (e.g., sense of belonging to a group, confidants, encouragement, meaningful time spent together)

GOALS - What We Want to Accomplish by Implementing School-wide PBSIS:

• Promote a positive climate for students & staff

• Be more proactive so we can prevent behavior issues

• Increase consistency in what we expect from students and how we communicate those expectations

• Be more constructive in the types of interventions we are using with students who engage in repeated problem behaviors

We Want Your Input and Participation

• The PBSIS team will be asking for your feedback at every stage of the planning process:– We will show you proposals and ask for you input– We will survey your opinion– We will involve you in small group discussions &

activities to influence planning decisions

from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding.”

welcoming atmosphere)• You have 4 minutes to generate a list of

strengths and planning needs • Document your list on the worksheet• Listen for the cue to move to the next graph

Our Next StepsFebruary - March

• Attend Day 2 of Universal Intervention training

• Develop an overarching school-wide expectations framework

• Define the framework using positive & actionable language for each area of the building

• Solicit input from staff and students about how to frame expectations in our building
