CAV Culture & You!

1. CAV Culture & You!

2. Purpose • Reinforce a positive climate • Strengthen the sense of community • Recognize individual student contributions, even the little ones

3. Core Values

4. How will students (and teachers) know what the core values are? • Focus on one value per month • Training videos monthly through learning seminars • Viewing will rotate through learning seminars • Videos will provide explanations and examples of core values • Videos and follow up activities will be brief

5. How does someone recognize a student? • A week before names for recognition are due an email reminder will be sent • Use the link in the email or the shortcut on your desktop to provide the student’s name and grade, your name, and a one or two sentence description of how that student demonstrated the value of the month • Sign your name and fill in the student’s name on the recognition certificate that has been placed in your box • Give the certificate to the student and tell them why you recognized them

6. Sample Recognition Certificate

7. So who do we recognize and what do they do with the certificate? • Any student that demonstrates a core value • Not necessarily likely to receive other accolades • Certificates used as pass to leave the last class of the day ten minutes early on the last Friday of the month and go to the cafeteria for a treat

8. Quick Recap • Recognize a different student every month • Recognize a struggling or often overlooked student • Remind students to share the certificate with parents • Be sure the student knows why you recognized them • Training activities and materials will be provided • Pick up a poster or window cling in the mailroom • Staff recognition
