Our class rules will be posted for everyone to see. We will be reviewing this rules the first week of school and throughout the year when needed. Behavior All students are expected to follow all classroom and school rules. In our class, we have many different ways that positive behavior is going to be encouraged. We have a "warm fuzzy" jar. When the class receives a compliment, a pom-pom will go into the jar. Once we have filled up the jar, the class will receive a reward of their choosing.

Students will earn PACK tickets when they demonstrate great behavior or go above and beyond for others. Any teacher can give out PACK tickets to students. A random drawing will be held on Friday. Students whose get drawn will be rewarded with prizes.

Positive Behavior Intervention and Support, and Character Education are programs aimed at improving school climate and creating systems that support academic and social success for all students. Coaches are assigned to schools to provide professional development and technical support, and to assist with data analysis, problem solving and planning.

The coaching model is focused on building capacity at the school level and assisting schools to create sustainable practices. Each school designates a team of representative staff that takes the lead in learning and supporting the implementation of new practices.

The purpose of Positive Behavior Intervention and Support is to provide assistance to schools to create positive school climates and develop more effective strategies for working with challenging behavior. This is achieved through school-wide behavior support planning, professional development on best behavioral practices, supporting teachers to master strategies, and developing systems of intervention for small groups of students and for specific students. Each school participating in the initiative develops specific goals, identifies data sources to measure progress, and creates an action plan to meet goals.

PBIS is a nationally recognized research-based best practice designated by the Office of Special Education Programs as one of the “Ideas that Work.” Schools that implement PBIS with fidelity over time demonstrate the following outcomes:

• Improved school climate

• Reductions in office discipline referrals and in-school and out of school suspensions

• Increased parent and community satisfaction

• Improved systems for responding to students in need of additional support with social behavior

The mission of the PBIS Coach Team in Wake County Public School System is to empower adults within a school with the skills needed to improve overall classroom and school climate to achieve higher academic performance for all students.
