Positive Behavior Management

Behavior management is how adults help students to make choices that support their learning. The goal of behavior management is to build on positive habits and diminish negative habits to develop strong learners in our schools, and in a hybrid model, in our homes. This page will provide a starting point to build a positive behaivor support model in your home classroom.

What is SOAR?

We use the Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS) of SOAR for K-12. SOAR stands for: Safety, Ownership, Attitude, and Respect.

At PGA we will focus on all aspects of SOAR. We will incorporate our SOAR learning during our classroom community times. In the classroom, there will be many ways that we will establish a classroom community where your child will feel special, successful, and safe.

One of the most important things you can do is as a Learning Coach is teach your child positive learning behaviors by setting up a behavior system with your child. In this document, you will find an article on why and how to implement behavior charts and systems as well as tools you can use in your home classroom.
