Each month, McDowell Elementary School celebrates good behavior by holding a
school-wide event for all students who have met their behavior goals.
The school-wide “Positive Behavior
Support (PBIS)” is a pro-active approach based on a three-tiered model of
prevention and intervention aimed at creating safe and effective schools.
Emphasis is placed on teaching and
reinforcing important social skills and data based problem solving to address
existing behavior concerns. PBIS is being implemented in thousands of schools
across the country and has been demonstrated to reduce discipline problems and
increase time for instruction.
This month's activity had the
students playing bingo and loving it. The anticipation of who would be the next
one to win and yell "BINGO" kept the room so quiet that you could
have heard a pin drop.
The goal is to have every student
make good decisions every day and participate in each month's fun activities.
