  1. CENTURY POWER

  2. We know that… • Tendency of high schools is to respond to persistent and serious problem behavior by adopting a “get tough” response. -repeating and restating consequences -increasing the severity of the consequences -establishing a zero tolerance policy -out of school suspensions, expulsions -alternative education (Sugai & Horner, 2002)

  3. The problem with the “high school” philosophy on discipline is… • Fosters environments of control, actually triggers and reinforces antisocial behavior, shifts accountability and education responsibility away from the school (Gottfredson, 1987; Mayer, 1995). • 2001 US Surgeon General- schools can expect increasing number of serious problem behavior if antisocial peer networks are allowed to be established inside schools. To prevent this, the report stated that a prevention based approach be emphasized centering on the teaching of individual social skills. • These recommendations align with the emphasis of PBS (Century POWER)

  4. CENTURY POWER is… • Building and establishing a consistent and positive school culture. • Avenue to which we specifically teach what we want to see from students, not just in the classroom, but throughout the entire building and at every event. • Teaching, monitoring and recognizing-BEFORE punishing. • Constantly reflecting on how we are interacting with students.

  5. CENTURY POWER FEATURES -School staff agree on a small set of positively stated rules. -All staff teach rules and expectations directly, intensively and consistently. -A continuum or recognition pieces/incentives exist to acknowledge students for following rules and expectations. -A range of consequences are used to correct behavior of students who violate rules and expectations.
