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 staff 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
