WHAT WE KNEW (ADMINISTRATION) How to avoid referrals Adding steps/interventions to be preventative Alternatives to suspensions
WHAT WAS TOLD TO US BY TEAM LEADERS ( STAFF) Teachers wanted more consistency Teachers felt that colleagues may not all be on the same page Teachers wanted to collaborate
REFLECTION ON THE PROBLEM Need to reflect and own issue (everyone) Survey staff ( through team leaders) Listen to what the staff said Collaborate on solution
So So wh what at wi will w ll we do e do di differently erently th this is yea ear? r?
The he Ba Baile ley y s taff will… Promote, reward, and recognize students when they demonstrating positive behaviors Encourage, support, and hold students accountable when they are not exhibiting positive behaviors
INCREASING POSITIVE STUDENT BEHAVIOR Communicate clearly and immediately Consistently address issues across classrooms Accountability for students Appropriate consequences Proactive rather than reactive response - preventative Utilize supportive interventions Clearly define behavioral goals for students Shared the investment with school community
THE STUDENT SUPPORT TEAM TEACHER-PARENT-ADMINISTRATION Teacher/Administration – Being Proactive Provide teachers with professional development, focusing on positive school climate, as well as strategies for de-escalating negative student behaviors. Create with students, clearly defined school and classroom rules. Discuss with all students clear, academic/behavioral expectations. Provide role models throughout building.
