Revised Action Plan (anything in red is new)

Action Planning: Ault 2010-2011

Goal:
To identify the impact that a positive behavior intervention plan will have on our students. Specifically, how the implementation affects the teachers that currently write the most referrals in our building and how it impacts the "repeat offenders" with returning to the office. Ideally, we will see a decrease in both the number of referrals (344 in 2009-2010) as well as the types of referrals (severe or minor). We also hope to see a fewer number of repeat students in our offices. Thus, teachers will have more time for teaching and students will remain in their classrooms and with fewer distractions resulting in more learning. According to an article in the PBIS newsletter by Robert Putnam, "Recent research indicates that school-wide positive behavior is associated with decreased exclusionary, reactive and punitive discipline practices (Horner, Sugai, Todd, & Lewis-Palmer, 2005; Luiselli, Putnam, & Sunderland, 2002), increased student satisfaction (Lewis-Palmer, Horner, Sugai, Eber, & Phillips, 2002), and improved perceptions of school safety (Schneider, Walker, & Sprague, 2000)."
