Our school is a junior high school that serves approximately 750 children living in Logansport, a low-income community in Indiana. Approximately 53% of our students are eligible for free and reduced-price lunches.Our scholars come to us with many important assets and skills, and they speak many different languages! They have grit! They are creative and curious!
We have found that many enter school without the social-emotional skills that all children need to succeed, form healthy relationships, and eventually excel in the workplace.
To address part of this issue, we use an evidence-based Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework that monitors, manages and rewards the positive behaviors of our scholars.
My Project
To promote a safe and inviting learning culture at our school, we adapted the evidence-based Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework that monitors, manages and rewards the positive behaviors of our scholars. PBIS has been shown to improve social, emotional and academic outcomes for all students, including students with disabilities and students from underrepresented groups.
At its heart, PBIS at our school helps us teach our scholars about behavior, just as we would teach about any other subject like reading or math.
Scholars receive what we call “Berry Bucks” which are fake dollars featuring our mascot by LEADing (Love learning, Excel in all we do, Achieve goals together, and Do the right thing).
We have found that setting up a store for the students to redeem the Berry Bucks for tangible incentives is one great way to engage our scholars and create excitement for our PBIS Rewards Program. However, coming up with incentives ---especially those that cost money--- can be a challenging task for public school educators. That is why we need YOUR help in doing this work to truly have a long-term, positive effect on our scholar’s life both inside and outside of our school building.
Your donation, big or small, will help allow us to stock our “PBIS store” where students are allowed to go “shopping” with the Berry Bucks that they have earned during the school week. Each student will visit the “Berry Bazaar” at a different point during the week when students will be able to exchange their Berry Bucks for these various prizes.
Please help us start the 2019-2020 school year off successfully by creating a strong PBIS culture in our school. We appreciate you and your commitment to making positive changes in public education!
