…a 3-5 year training commitment to address proactive systems changes in the “way schools do business.” | …a canned program in a box for purchase. |
…a way of taking all the great initiatives already implemented in the school and tying them together into a framework that works toward a common language, common practice, and consistent application of positive and negative reinforcement. | …throwing out the baby with the bathwater. |
…teaching, modeling, practicing, and rewarding appropriate behavior and having clear consequences for targeted behaviors. | …being sickeningly sweet to children and giving them stickers. |
…achieving full staff “buy-in” on consistent implementation of office discipline referrals. If it is not okay to cuss in classroom “A”, then it will not be okay to cuss in classroom “B”. | …ignoring inappropriate behavior. |
…rooted in evidence based practices which adults use to respond to the interventions needed to address behavioral and academic competence for each and every student. | …something a bunch of people made up for the new pendulum to swing in the educational field. |
…this training is based on the needs of each educational unit; which is why the teams are requested to commit to a 3-5 year training schedule based on the unique needs of their school community. Teams also consist of a representative sample of the school. | …a one shot training or “Spray and Pray” seminar. |
