IMPLEMENTATION QUOTES


	TEAMING:

	~The biggest impact on the team success is the role of our supportive principal. Ms. Vogt engages in ongoing discussions with our PBS team; working with goals, data, student incentive ideas, etc. Our team is lead by our Administrative Dean and is comprised of teachers from each grade level and curriculum area. Discipline referral data is analyzed on an on-going yearly basis as well as throughout the year to look at specific trends and incidents. Decisions are then made including the method and focus of teaching instruction regarding our code of conduct and reward programs for appropriate behavior. PBS information is shared with faculty and staff via regular emails, newsletters, mailbox flyers, announcements (news & intercom), faculty meetings and staff development sessions. The overall strength of the team is the administrator support and buy-in. This allows the PBS team more opportunities to share successes as well as receive time and funding for resources and activities.

	IMPLEMENTATION:

	~The PBS team excels in the areas of providing student incentives for positive behavior. Rewards are consistent and student idea driven based on survey results.

	OUTCOMES:

	~Overall referral levels have decreased since the inception of PBS by approximately 25-30%.

	OBSTACLES:

	~The biggest obstacle that the PBS Team has struggled with (and still does) is teacher buy-in. Because CMS already stands out as a school in our district, getting veteran teachers to jump on board and understand the need to provide positive reinforcement for student behavior has been difficult. However, by continuing to share data and the positive overall effect that PBS is creating at CMS is making the task easier as time goes by.
