  14. Training • In-service days • AM professional time • All staff trained

  15. Training • Lesson plans were demonstrated for teachers. • The schedule for teaching behaviors to students was explained. • Teachers were assigned lesson plans to teach (example: cafeteria monitors taught cafeteria)

  16. Teaching Expectations to Students • Special Scheduling first two days of school • Expectations were taught in the actual setting (on the bus, in the bathroom).

  17. Re-Teaching • When students do not follow the rules and expectations they are sent to re-training. • The re-training is done on their time. • The students demonstrate the appropriate behavior.

  21. Warning!! Do NOT attempt the following without first implementing the rules and expectations!!!!

  22. Dragon Stars • Tangible reward • Documents positive behaviors in terms of: SPARRR: Safe Peaceful Ready Respectful Responsible

  23. How Dragon Stars Work Step One: Dragon Stars are: • Printed and copied on colored paper - a different color each marking period • Distributed to teachers/staff in their mailboxes

  24. Step Two: Teachers: • Recognize students for positive behavior - Dragon Stars remind us to do that!!!

  25. Step 3: Students: • Turn in their Dragon Stars at the main office during designated times through the following process: • Type their name into a laptop • Draw a number • Write their name in that space on the numbered white board • When a row or column fills up, we have Dragon Star winners!!!

  26. Winners • Named on announcements • Called to the office to receive a prize - prizes are obtained through donations and fundraising • Special prizes are awarded on special occasions/holidays ***One staff member winner is selected also ***

  27. Gold Cards • An extra incentive program for 8th graders • All 8th grade students start out the marking period with a Gold card
