Mr. J. Eric Johansson
School Climate Specialist/WEB Coordinator
This year marks my 25th year serving as an educator with the Portland Public School District as a classroom teacher, School Climate Specialist/Dean, or special programs administrator. I strive to facilitate the highest levels of services and supports for all children at Beaumont Middle School by collaborating to create a safe, supportive, and respectful learning environment. My high expectations for Beaumont students align with the expectations I have for my own children who also attend schools within the PPS district.
As the School Climate Specialist I support all students, teachers, and the building administration with the implementation and support of The Students Rights and Responsibilities Guide, developing tier 1 and 2 supports throughout Beaumont, and responding to community behavioral support needs. Considering the individuality of every student, the unique nature of every interpersonal experience, and the specific needs of our diverse community I rely on resources provided by PPS, Beaumont specific supports, and broader community supports.
I acknowledge the overrepresentation of our BIPOC community in the disciplinary system and use an equity lens along with trauma informed practices to guide day-to-day decision making in an effort to focus on each student and create a safe, healthy, and challenging learning environment.
Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to share your thoughts and ideas:

School Wide Practices-Tier 1
Push in Model
The push in model reinforces students presence in their classrooms. Instead of sending a student out of the classroom when they may be making poor or disruptive choices, the classroom teacher calls for a student support person from the school to be present so that the teacher may talk with the student in a discreet and private manner while the class continues instruction.
Restorative Practices
Restorative Practices are the skills and processes that help us build, maintain, and repair relationships to form healthy, supportive & inclusive communities.
Restorative practices are used at Tier I for prevention and at Tiers II and III for intervention measures to help schools:
Build relationships with and empower community members to take responsibility for the well-being of others
Prevent or deal with conflict before it escalates
Address underlying factors that lead youth to engage in inappropriate behavior
Increase the pro-social skills of those who have harmed others
Build resiliency both in students who have committed harm and in those who have been harmed
Provide students with the opportunity to be accountable to those they have harmed and enable them to repair the harm to the extent possible.
