Why did we ask for PBS? • We have many superb students that need to be recognized for positive behavior. • Creates a uniform system for behavior management. • We will be able to see data that shows improvement and can be shared with the parent community.
Why is PBS necessary? • Positive role models and actions are key to student success • Much like academic growth, social growth must be defined, modeled, practiced, monitored, and acknowledged
Who benefits from PBS? • Students • Increased motivation for positive behavior. • Firm understanding of school wide expectations. • All Staff Members • Every staff member is united together to promote positive change. • Parents • Shows our community we are committed to reinforcing positive behavior and fostering academic success.
Runyon School-Wide Expectations Responsible and Appropriate Choices for Me and My School
How will Runyon implement PBS? We have implemented the following expectations and acknowledgements for positive behavior: • Direct teaching of RAMS Expectations throughout the year • Classroom recognition • Individual student recognition • Discipline data analyzed regularly to continue to identify problem areas and to continue to be proactive in our approach to discipline
Classroom Recognition • Related to school-wide expectations • Based on class-wide compliments received for appropriate behavior • Individualized by teacher/classroom • Examples hangman, spell responsible, etc. • Class reward is determined by individual classrooms/grade level • All staff watching for and acknowledging positive behaviors • When class meets their responsibility goal, the class name is acknowledged during announcements
Individual Student Recognition • Teacher observes positive behaviors based on school-wide expectations • Teacher places ram and lanyard on the desk of a student before school • During morning announcements, all Responsible Rams are called to office to receive their Responsible Rams card • Child wears lanyard during the day, receiving compliments and acknowledgements • During afternoon announcements, names of Responsible Rams are read • Throughout the year Special PBS Boosters occur in which we acknowledge ALL students in each classroom.
The Role of the Teachers • Distribute class compliments to promote Responsible Rams. • Recognize individual students for their appropriate choices • Model positive behaviors as role models in the school. • Strive for Five (five positives for each negative)
