Bennington Elementary “HIGH 5!” Maintaining Safe Classroom Environments Through Behavior Expectations by Jodie Stone
Our “High 5” School-wide Behavior Expectations: • Be Respectful • Encourage One Another • Nobody’s Left Out • Everyone Makes Safe Choices • Listen Actively
PBIS In Classrooms • The first level of PBS intervention occurs within our classrooms! 80% of our students will be successful with the level of support provided in the classroom with school-wide expectations.
Classroom Safety at Bennington Elementary • Students spend most of their day in the classroom. Our SWIS data has reflected that 75% of behavior incidents at our school are occurring within classrooms.
Time Well Spent • We will teach students how each behavior expectation is exhibited in the classroom by pre-teaching, modeling and re-teaching the expectations. Classrooms must be a safe place where all students can access learning.
