Goal

• Adams Elementary will significantly decrease the
  number of behavior infractions and increase
  student engagement in order to better meet the
  needs of all our students.

5
Rationale

• This goal was determined by data that showed
  Adams Elementary had the highest number of
  disruptive behavior referrals district wide.
• Structure and consistency in our literacy model
  have resulted in huge gains for our students
  despite our low SES level.
• The same structure and consistency could transfer
  to a schoolwide behavior plan that would create
  equal success for our students.
• A positive behavior plan would increase students
  on task and instructional/learning time.

Data indicators

• Prior to implementation of a school wide positive
  behavior plan, Adams Elementary was on track to
  meet or exceed the previous years total of 705
  behavior infractions.

Trends and changes in data indicators

• As per the data comparison from last school year
  to this school year, there has been a significant
  reduction in the number of behavior infractions
  reported by refocus referrals.
• Initially the only data compared were month to
  month from the previous year to the current year
  comparisons and each months comparisons within
  the current year
• During our first year, Adams Elementarys UBI
  team realized the need for data on where and when
  behavior infractions were taking place in order
  to target these areas and for data on attendance
  and tardies. So, data began to be reported and
  analyzed accordingly.

Implementation

• Understanding UBI and positive behavior plans
• Developing an action plan, schoolwide
  expectations, and a concise Adams Owl motto to
  fit Adams Elementary.
• Principal requested team members to volunteer.
  Through shared data, partial expectations and
  incentives already in place, faculty could
  readily see the need for a structured and
  consistent positive behavior plan for sustained
  success for more students.
• Training of faculty and incentives have
  encouraged staff continue to participate
  over-time.
• Several teachers trained in Power Teaching and
  shared with faculty strategies for increasing
  student engagement through kinesthetic, oral,
  teaching strategies.
• Sources of data came from the refocus referrals
  of behavior infractions. A Data Tracker was
  purchased in order to better facilitate data
  analysis.
• Implemented 200 club and incentives.

Plans for adjustment

• Initial staff training to be done in August,
  including all teachers, specialists,
  paraprofessionals, and lunch staff.
• Initial student training and implementation of
  the 200 Club to be done in August.
• Schedule re-teaching of students and staff more
  frequently throughout the school year.
• Develop second year action plan over the summer.
• Analyze more closely and take action on data
  provided by location, attendance, and tardies.

Discussion

• Overall, Adams Elementary had a very successful
  first year.
• Faculty saw a need and followed through in the
  implementation of a schoolwide behavior plan with
  fidelity.
• The UBI Team was appreciative that there was no
  need to reinvent strategies. The team was able to
  adapt ideas, strategies, incentives, and plans
  already in place in other schools to fit our
  schools specific needs and goals.
