Our Positive Behavior and Instructional Support (PBIS) efforts are helping at school. We have implemented weekly lessons that address school wide behavior expectations. Each week we target a different area of school, for example, hallway, cafeteria, classroom, and playground to name a few.
Our most active area of concern right now is recess behavior on the playground, so with that in mind we are increasing supervision, reinforcing and reteaching : Problem solve, Act respectfully, Work and Play responsibly, and Stay safe (PAWS) rules as needed. We will track the data and are looking for a reduction in referrals during those time periods, since 58% of our referrals are during recess.
We will share data on these efforts again in April.
