What makes your team work so well?  Please discuss in detail (e.g., what is your administrator’s role on the team, how is staff represented, etc.)?  Administrator’s participate in all team meetings, provide support and resources, but give freedom to team members in making decisions.  The team consists of a member from each grade level and related arts.

How does your team use data to make decisions on campus? Data is used to identify areas of the school and time periods of the day in need of assistance.  It has also help identify teachers and staff who may need assistance with student behavior.

How do you share information with the rest of your faculty (e.g., emails, newsletters, meetings, etc.)?  How often do you share this information? Information concerning PBS is shared at each team meeting.  Since each grade level and related arts are represented within the team, that person shares and gathers information at each grade level team meeting.

What do you see as the overall strengths of your team?  Please provide details.  Representation from each grade level and the related arts enables the school to be more consistent with PBS strategies throughout all areas of the school.

In what areas of PBS does your team excel (e.g., rewarding students/staff, teaching expectations, data-based decision-making, etc.)?  Please provide details below. Acknowledgement  to students for displaying positive behavior by giving out character count tickets was done across the campus area and during all activities.

Discuss the changes you have seen on campus since PBS implementation (e.g., data, climate, morale, etc.). Discipline referrals are down.  There is a noticeable difference in staff focusing on acknowledging positive behavior VS. punishing inappropriate behavior

What are some obstacles that your team has had to overcome?  Please explain the process for overcoming these hurdles below. The school is split between two campuses.  The ability to coordinate meetings and share information between campuses has been very difficult.  Much of the staff began the year without  experience in PBS.
