How has it changed Discipline at BMS? • The number of suspensions decreased by 40% • The number of In-school suspensions decreased by 5% • The number of discipline referrals to the office dropped 28% in one year. • The number of parent contacts increased dramatically.
How has it changed the Discipline at BMS? • Students, teachers, parents, and adminstrators are on the same page as to expectations and consequences for misbehavior. • Student’s listed the “Fair Discipline” at the school as one of the strengths and one of the things they liked most about the school. <Caring teachers, great activities, PRIDE and SEALS were also mentioned>
How to get started? • We formed a committee with at least one member from each grade level, PA, special services, guidance, administration, and alternate education and started a discussion on what we liked and what needed to be changed as it related to our school. • The committee met and then shared the ideas to their team members and the Pyramid was developed and then implemented by the administration.
