29USING DATA PROACTIVELY
- Being visible in the hallways and classrooms is
one vital step to reducing disciplinary problems. - Empowering students to make the right decisions
is a major step in reducing disciplinary
referrals. - How can data be used proactively and to help
influence appropriate behaviors?
30POINT SYSTEM
-
- The point system is designed to promote good
student behavior by allowing bad behavior to be
offset by good behavior point earnings. - The point system ranges from zero to one hundred
points, with zero being the best students and one
hundred being the worst students.
31POINT SYSTEM NEGATIVE POINTS
- A student will accrue a set number of bad points
for discipline transactions - Discipline points entered while filling in
electronic referral - Only one extra data field to fill in
32DISICPLINE POINTSUSING THE POINTS AT AHS
- When a student falls into a disciplinary level
based on an accumulation of points, the following
actions will be taken - A student must not have more than 10 points to
participate in a reward field trip or no more
than 49 points to participate in an educational
field trip. - A student must not have more than 49 points to
attend a school dance, renaissance day, prom or
participate in a school/parish play.
33POINT SYSTEM GAINING GOOD POINTS
- Students can gain good points and reduce the
number of bad points they have accumulated by
coming to school each day and not having any
discipline transactions. - Students who have not been sent to the office but
have been absent from school (excused absence
only) during each week of a six weeks can gain 2
good points. - Students who have not been sent to the office and
have not been absent from school during each week
of a six weeks can gain 5 good points.
34POINT SYSTEM
- Using the point system, a student with bad
behavior is given the opportunity to regain
privileges by good attendance and no discipline
transactions. - The Point System is easy to use
- Quickly and accurately run program to adjust
points - Easily track students who are at risk of
expulsion - EMPOWERS STUDENTS TO DISPLAY APPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS
35INCENTIVE CARDS
- Incentive cards are an efficient and low cost way
to reward positive behaviors to a lot of students
in a short amount of time. - Reinforcing appropriate behaviors increases the
likelihood that appropriate behaviors will occur
again. - Reduces the number of referrals for inappropriate
behaviors - Integral part of our Positive Behavioral Supports
PBS plan
