Goal

• To increase positive behavior of students and
  teachers
• To decrease negative behaviors
• To create a safe, positive learning environment.

3
Rationale

• Centerville teachers asked for a consistent,
  effective, positive school wide discipline system
  that would increase positive behaviors and
  decrease negative behaviors.
• A school/community survey also reflected a need
  for a consistent school wide discipline system.

Results of Teacher
and Student Surveys(Numbers indicate of
People Surveyed)

• Data being used are
• Area of Concern of Teachers in Classroom
• Area of Concern of Teachers in Non-Classroom
  Settings
• Individual Area of Concern of Students

5
Trends and changes in data indicators

• There has been a marked increase in the number of
  blue slips and other positive indicators and a
  decrease in white slips or consequential
  indicators.
• In one school year attendance increased from 85
  to 96.
• We need a system to compile specific positive
  data by dates, teachers and gender.

6
Implementation

• We conducted staff development.
• We created spirit assemblies to teach and model
  positive behaviors. We implemented school wide
  themes to motivate staff participation (Wild
  About Learning, We The People, Soar for Success).
  
• Staff involvement/participation is encouraged
  and recognized. We celebrate success!
• Traditional data sources used are attendance
  records, test scores, and grades.
• Customized data sources used are the 200 club,
  Excellent Eagle, tokens, and lunch with the
  principal.

7
Final data

• Positives grew from 87 of students receiving
  positives to 100 students by last term.
• Positives are helping students to decrease
  negative behavior.

8
Plans for adjustment

• Introduce and motivate the school community to
  the new theme The Hero Within.
• Implement think time and check in, check out.
• Collect specific data of positive reinforcements
  in every classroom.

9
Discussion

• Collecting the data was time consuming and
  challenging. However, the data proved
  beneficial.
• Data showed improvement in student behavior.
• Changing behavior relies upon changing attitude.
• We wish we would have known that there was no
  financial aid available or assistance for data
  collection provided for first year schools (data
  assistant was provided on a limited basis at the
  end of the school year).
