Lacy Elementary School: A Case Study

There are many strategies when dealing with student behavior. However, they’re usually limited to the classroom setting and offices. When it comes to school wide management, Positive Behavior Interventions and Support or PBIS

It is exceedingly important for schools to ensure a balanced and stable environment that provides safety, well-being, and acceptance to all students. In order to do this, as well as generate a positive communal learning atmosphere that empowers the entire student body of the school and the individual classroom, there needs to be a school-wide positive behavioral intervention and support (PBIS) system implemented. The defined explanation of PBIS is “a framework for enhancing the adoption and implementation of a continuum of evidence-based interventions to achieve academically and behaviorally important outcomes for all student” (Sugai and Simonsen, 2012). The goal of a PBIS application to a school’s community is to develop appropriate standards

Clay Country Schools are located in the southwest corner of North Carolina.

The campus consists of Hayesville Elementary School, Hayesville Middle School, and Hayesville High School. Historically Clay County Schools has not always been the only public school system to serve the county.

I teach in the Westside Consolidated Number Five School District in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The school district is a consolidation of three small rural town school districts Bono, Egypt, and Cash, Arkansas in 1968. I met with my mentor Mr. Scott Gaunt the school district superintendent on January 18, 2017 between meetings with district leaders and countywide superintendents. We met and discussed the community relations plan and identified the two most important issues for our district as identified in the poll by the Phi Delta Kappan and the Gallop poll. The issues were the lack of financial support for the school district to provide an adequate education for students and the testing and regulations imposed on school districts that lower educational time for students while in school.

Verney Road State School has effectively established the SWPBS and continues to develop and improve strategies in place to ensure a school wide culture that promotes positive behavior. The PBS Implemenation Team at Verney Road State School is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of school wide behavior. As a school wide approach, it is essential that students have a clear and consistent understanding of school wide expectations. Teachers throughout the school should receive guidelines and action plans on how to facilitate these expectations. The school would be responsible for ensuring all staff are supported and have the resources and professional development to effectively implement the PBS practices in a classroom and across the school

Rancho Minerva Middle School (RMMS) is located in the rural area within the Vista Unified School District (VUSD). A major issue occurring at RMMS is corresponding to sixth to eighth grade male students being recipients of ineffective punishments as a result of their disruptive behavior. Students’ disruptive behavior refers to those who engage in altercations, disrupt teachers during instruction time, and become involved in substance use. The ramifications for students with disruptive behaviors are followed by disciplinary approaches such as expulsions, suspensions, Saturday school, and after school detention. Such approach has resulted in students achieving lower academics which can also increase the chances of engaging in risky behavior outside the school. According to RMMS School Accountability Report Card (SARC), in the 2014-2015 school year, RMMS reported 10.4% suspensions which demonstrated to be higher than the previous years. Additional factors that have had an effect on suspension rates are the limited in house services provided to this particular population at RMMS. Though RMMS does not have an appointed mental health provider or personnel to assist with mental health support on site, students are granted the opportunity to be referred to outside providers/therapist for counseling services. However, this has been a major limitation for our

Progress is the key element of the math PLC at Mary B. Neal Elementary. The progress will provide vital information to the PLC and administration of the school. Concerning the progress and how it will be monitored, the members will create a monitor sheet. Bi-weekly, the team will meet to review the data of the math classes. During these meetings, members will analyze the progress of all students and see where the misconceptions are within the student data. The PLC will also monitor and assess how often staff members are using a guided math approach to math instruction. With peer observations, the members of the PLC will be able to determine which staff members are effectively using guided math and which need more assistance. Currently, Mary

This article is based from an AB designed case study that lasted three years in an alternative, private school setting in Northern California where School-wide PBIS was implemented. The students in this study exhibited a variety of disabilities including: autism, Downs Syndrome, visual impairments, emotional disturbance, among others such as ADD and cerebral Palsy. Enrollment increased during this study from 33 students to 53 students on average. Authors use data from the Discipline Prevention data from Eugene, Oregon. The authors also use the following articles to support their findings from the case study: “Second Step: A violence prevention curriculum” “Social skills instruction for students at risk of antisocial behavior” “School wide positive behavior intervention support: An alternative approach to discipline in schools” Shifting from reactive to proactive discipline in an urban school district” “A blueprint of positive behavior intervention

As a Middle School Coordinator at Roxby Downs Area School (RDAS) I have focused my research on creating an effective implementation plan to support RDAS with a pedagogical approach to project based learning (PBL) in the middle school years. This approach aims to better support students in their senior schooling. As the senior school currently aim to promote an adult learning environment which will incorporate project days, I have focused my direction on preparing students for this environment that will also assist in the development of 21st century learning. The implementation plan details the actions necessary to support the school in implementing and sustaining a PBL approach which serves as one of the key instructional methodologies to support the targeted middle school priorities identified in the school

I am applying for $500 to begin various clubs for Landmark Elementary School. I would like to begin various clubs in my practicum school, such as a Lego Club, a Board Games Club, a craft club, and a crochet club. During the cold winter months, when the temperature gets very cold, often times children cannot go outside to play during recess and lunch hour. Many of the children have expressed interest in beginning clubs that each child could sign up for. During the cold days, when children cannot go outside, the children who have signed up for the clubs have an activity to do that allows them a time to get a break from their studies. The program gives children a chance to get involved in the school, and students a place where they feel they might belong and thrive. Help the students to learn valuable skills while allowing children a chance to explore various different interests. Participation in a supervised constructive activity limits the time that is available

When implementing a discipline program, it is important that a teacher identify the difference between misbehavior and off task behavior. Misbehavior is a more serious action and should be treated accordingly. Misbehavior includes actions that are pre-meditated, habitual, unsafe, or demeaning. Off-task behavior includes actions like, talking out of turn or with other students, doing activities other than what the teacher has assigned, and lack of following instructions. While both types of behavior cause unwanted classroom distraction and should not be tolerated, there is an important difference between the two that must be identified. In the case of off-task behavior, the strategy to guide the student back on-task may require imposing a consequence as well as making an adjustment to the classroom management plan in order to re-route the student. In the case of misbehavior, imposing a consequence along with the addition of recruiting support from parents or administration may be needed to retrain the behavior.(Ross, 2009)
