There was a real dramatic breakthrough for positive behavior among schools recently. That’s when 47 teams from district elementary and middle schools came together at Taft Middle School to strengthen the positive school climate of their respective sites. The highlight of the day came as students worked with the adults on the school teams to create skits to demonstrate the principles of how positive behavior is achieved.
The program centered on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), an approach aimed at improving overall school climate through a system of establishing behavior supports, structures and social culture that works to help students achieve social, emotional and academic success. It assists school staff with feedback from students and families to develop an effective school wide behavioral support and discipline plan. Participating schools included Alcott, Audubon, Baker, Bayview Terrace, Bethune, Burbank, Carson, Carver, Chollas Mead, Emerson/Bandini, Euclid, Freese, Fulton, Gage, Hancock, Horton, Ibarra , Jerabek, Johnson, Knox, Marshall, McKinley, Nye, Perkins, Porter, Ross, Tierrasanta, Valencia Park, Walker, Washington and Whitman elementary schools along with Bell, Challenger, Clark, Correia, Innovation, Memorial Prep, Millennial Tech, Montgomery, Roosevelt, Standley, Taft, Wangenheim and Wilson middle schools, and Riley and Whittier/Del Sol atypical schools.
