Mission: To create an environment that empowers individuals’ learning and decision making which leads to success in school and beyond.
Current Value Priorities for 2010-2011:
A safe learning environment
- Apply and earn silver recognition in PBS/BIST (secondary level interventions)
- Follow procedures/expectations of PBS in classrooms and non-classroom environments as outlined in handbook or by PBS Team
- Recognize students for good citizenship with Citizenship Celebration
- Create an intervention that provides “one-on-one” for all students. (i.e. Check in Check Out)
Student Achievement
- Recognize students with academic celebrations based upon specific criteria
- Showcase student work during Fall Festival & Spring Festival
- Provide Bridges Bus/Activity with home schools to allow students to maintain contact and set goals for future transitions
- Recognize students’ effort for learning through Attendance Celebration that recognizes 95% attendance and/or improved attendance
- Provide regular service learning activities that allow students to experience interests, talents, and develop a sense of community
- Develop expectations to more fully develop a relationship with our Partners In Education
- Continue to develop teacher behaviors/expectations that align with components of best practices in teaching; i.e. set goals, assess prior learning, develop strategies for introducing new knowledge, apply new knowledge, generalizing/summarizing at the end of lessons.
Data-driven Decisions – i.e. SWIS, Q-Card count, and point sheets, attendance, ODRs, anecdotal records, Curriculum-Based Measures, district assessments…
- Include data that describes intensity, frequency and duration in IEPs for documentation in present levels and progress towards goals
- Utilize data as part of the decision making for placement/services/transition, and necessary modifications/accommodations
- Utilize data to identify and monitor students at the secondary and tertiary levels of need, to develop associated plans for groups identified or at Care Teams.
- Utilize and collect necessary data for Functional Behavior Assessments.
