Bear Canyon is proud to be an Energy Bus Certified school practicing The Energy Bus for Schools Leadership Journey (EBSLJ).
Our mission is to inspire and develop leaders (students and educators) who positively impact schools, families, communities and the world!
The Energy Bus for Schools Leadership Journey is a multi-year approach to creating and sustaining a positive school culture through shared leadership. Shared leadership takes into account that every person in the school community is a leader, even students as young as 4 and 5 years of age. We define leadership as the ability to take personal responsibility for your actions and stopping to think about outcomes prior to reacting to challenging situations. We believe that engaging our students in these valuable principles early in life will support their social, emotional, and academic goals. This program works hand in hand with Restorative Practices for discipline as both programs support personal ownership and lifelong relational skills building.
The Energy Bus Positive Framework for students is based on the following seven principles:
You’re the Driver
Create a Positive Vision
Drive with Purpose
Fuel your Ride with Positive Energy
Transform Negativity
Love your Passengers
Enjoy the Ride
We have tons of fun celebrating our students who exhibit positive traits at assemblies and throughout the school day.
