  26. Perception of People in Schools • Administrators • Students • Teachers • Staff

  27. We have 3-5 easy to remember rules like: Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Responsible. We learn how the rules apply to all the locations in our school in the first few days of the year. When we do what we are supposed to do, the staff lets us know it. We get little slips that are put into prize drawings. But mainly we like being noticed for it. Kids who have problems meeting expectations get extra attention to help them succeed. Behind the scenes at these schools are dedicated EBS teams and committed administrators. 4J EBS Home Page

  28. What is next? • Sustain current gains • Expand to all 48 schools in 4j • 5 Current requests for School-wide PBS support • Development of High School variation of PBS in collaboration with U of O • Further linking of behavior and academic goals (Reading and Behavior Grants) • Accountability • District • State Report Card

  29. Appreciation • A total of 180 employees and about 5500 students in 4j are now involved in building behaviorally safe and constructive environments in schools • This has happened in part due to the commitment of the school board and 4j administration to prevention of problem behaviors and school-wide systems change. • Excellent example of collaboration between 4j and Higher Education.
