Assuming that these results reflect the faculty across the entire school and based on my analysis, I believe Lacy Elementary is ready to implement a school-wide Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS). “The common features to implementing RTI and PBIS include the following: (a) coordination of schoolwide prevention efforts and systems, (b) universal screening and progress monitoring, (c) selection and use of evidence-based practices, (d) professional development that targets evidence-based practice, (e) evaluating outcomes using data-based decision making, and (f) leadership commitment from administrators and school-based teams that supports school-wide implementation” (Kame’enui, Good, & Harn, 2005; Sugai & Horner, 2006).…

We should have a very clear idea about the school structure and our role within it. We should have an up to date job description which is a reflection of our duties. There may also be a person specification, which should set out personal qualities which are relevant to the particular post.…
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) - A values led, person centred, evidence based intervention model that seeks to improve an individual’s communication, independence and quality of life. It aim to bring together best practice from Applied Behaviour Analysis, the inclusion movement Person Centred Planning. PBS is an inclusive approach, supporting people to stay in their homes and schools environments.…
What is a behavioral support plan you ask? Behavioral Support Plans (BSP) assist a broad range of students deemed by the school to require additional support and guidance. (www.education.vic.gov.au). Of course these are only created after assessments are carefully conducted and reviewed thoroughly among the teacher, any other school faculty needed, student involved, and student’s family. Specific plans can be created for students who have been diagnosed or display severe behavior disorders, require additional assistance due to the difficult, challenging,…
Teachers would use problem solving and reasoning with the kids when things got out of hand or any other problem. They also need to have confidence, be organized, and make quick decisions when it comes to the kids.…
When supporting positive behaviour there is lots of different approaches, most practitioners find they need to draw on several of these:…
Schools are in great need of systems, processes, and personnel who are able to support the needs of students with problem behavior. Research indicates, however, that (while I am a big, fat cheater) information has not been made available to teachers and other professionals in a format that allows these strategies to become common practice. Many teachers choose isolated behavioral strategies that are not applied immediately after the problem behavior has occurred.…
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is an approach to supporting the people with challenging or problem behavior that combines both a set of values with a set of behavioral principals that we know to be effective. In general, positive behavior support approaches problems in multi ways such as what happens before the behavior, what’s the context of the behavior in terms of time, place, and what’s quality of the of the person. Our traditional approach to the discipline has been to stop behavior problems through the use of punishment. We still have a lot of those present today in the school system such as suspending, expelling, and referring. Positive behavior support system approach is to stop problems or undesirable behavior by replacing with new…
Dependent on the little absence there is a higher success rate. But how do they reach the little absence of the students to have a high success rate? The team leaders and the teachers point students many time on the fact that more absence is a lower success rate, and they will get in trouble with the attendance officer. A lot of absent could lead to a suspension. The administration keeps track of the absence of the students. If the absence of a student is too much, the administration warns the counsellor and the team leaders. The counsellor or the team leaders approach the student with it and they have a word about the absence of the student. That’s one important purpose of the school, the lowest absence. The will get a high success rate, if their lessons are good and if the students understand everything. There are also help lessons for students who find it hard to understand the subjects. There are also a lot of practise test given by the teachers to see if the students understand everything. The schedule maker makes schedules for students with as less as possible between hours so that the student can focus the entire school day. The schedule maker also tries to make schedules so that the students are early free. So that they have time for their homework. The porters keep the school clean, hygienic and neatly so that the school looks good. The principals decide what will happen with the school. They want to adjust the school so that it will satisfy all students. The principals tell the team leaders and teachers what to do. If the team leaders or the teachers have too much trouble with a student, they’ll go to the principals and tell them their problem. The principals invite the students to their room and speak to them. Mostly of the time the conversation ends with a suspension for the…

I truly do feel as if it takes a certain person to be successful at the kind of volunteer work I do, and I have those qualities. I care for people a lot, and every second grader wants to feel cared for, especially when it comes to learning and they cannot pick up the skill. I always make an effort to ask how their days are going and how their previous nights/weekends because I recognize that there is more to life than school too. Many times, the girls will get in petty arguments, and both will come to me crying or asking what to do, and I think it takes a certain kind of person to deal with that – a person with a lot of patience. It is especially difficult when the girls are upset because “so and so was talking about me behind my back” or “I have a crush on so and so, but he likes her more.” It takes a certain kind of person to hold back the laughter and not look that little girl straight in the eyes and say, “get used to it honey!” All in all, I think that my time at Oak Trace has been impactful for me and the students, and I think that everyone appreciates the work I am…
Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most important weapon which you can use to change the world, and what person overuses any weapon? The average high school student spends 85% of their time on school/school work there is no need to add on. We believe that we should not have an extra hour for tutorials because we already have two required classes meant to help with subjects of confusion, teachers stay before and after school to provide extra help, and some students have extra-curricular activities to attend after school. First, while attending our school, we are given two classes devoted to in-school homework and tutorial time, which includes our avid and advisory period.…
