Throughout the school year, the entirety of our staff explicitly teach, reteach, review, and model our common behavioral expectations for students. We double down on this practice come spring and the final weeks of the school year.
As a staff we seek a 3:1 ratio (at least) of positive reinforcement to redirection, knowing that there is no meaningful correction without connection. Pawsomes are one of the ways that we specifically recognize, praise, and reinforce positive behavior throughout our school. Our entire team seeks to regularly give Pawsomes, along with specific feedback to students to recognize and celebrate prosocial behavior. Students are then provided with a sticker and hearty congratulations from our office staff, as well as, the opportunity to win prizes from our weekly Pawsome raffle on Fridays.
Throughout the year we have worked towards the goal of collectively earning 12,000+ Pawsomes, and in reaching that goal got to duct tape me wall!
