School-Wide Positive Behavior Support

at D. F. Huddle Elementary

             SWPBS is a scientifically research-based systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all students, including those with challenging social behaviors.  SWPBS is a proactive process whereby school leadership teams, in alignment with school improvement efforts 1) facilitate the school’s implementation of system-wide positive discipline procedures, 2) make ongoing data-based decisions about the effectiveness of their discipline procedures/interventions, and 3) make adjustments as needed throughout the year to enhance the success of both students and staff.

falcon dollars

·        Students earn “Falcon Dollars” for following School-Wide Expectations and Rules.

·        Teachers turn in a weekly chart of the students’ Falcon dollars and a total is kept for each student.  Teachers give rewards in classroom.

·        The student in each class with the most Falcon dollars is the “SOAR Falcon students of the week.”  Their name is announced on Monday, and they come to the office to take a picture and receive a reward.

·        At the end of the six weeks, rewards are given school-wide.  For the 1st, 3rd and 5th six weeks, the top students are given a party, for the 1st party;  “Chill Factory”(making ice cream sundaes) and 3rd party; popcorn, drink and a movie.  During the 2nd, 4th and 6th six weeks, all students can go to the Falcon Store to purchase rewards based on how many Falcon dollars they have.  Our partners in education donated many of these rewards.

·        Faculty members are rewarded through the “Clean Room Award” and the “Beyond the Call of Duty Award.”  For the “Clean Room Award” each room was graded on a specific criteria and the teacher whose class wins gets a reward and is recognized.  For the “Beyond the Call of Duty Award”, all staff can nominate each other anonymously if they consistently go above and beyond the call of duty in their work.  These staff members are recognized and receive a gift certificate.

·        Staff members meet and discuss School-Wide PBS at faculty meetings.

·        A letter explaining PBS was sent home at the beginning of the year.  Communication with parents is an essential part of our PBS plan.
