Getting Started with PBIS In High Schools
https://www.upforlearning.org
The kids will tell us if we have consistency across the building.
Focus on what matters to your teachers and youth. Ask teachers what is getting in the way of instruction (over what the data says).
PBIS is not a program but a framework that organizes all the things you do. This is a public health prevention model placed in schools.
Don’t hurry this implementation.
Tier 2 and 3 staff need extra layers of support, not snarky comments.
Use data to make decisions, create systems so that grownups can do their jobs ..read more

“The most recent data”
“Only 90% of”
How do we spin it?
Make assumptions from data. Long work commutes for parents shows the need for a before school or after school program. Obesity rates show the need for playground equipment and a weight room.
Make your data tell a story and give more information than needed.
Each year, look for holes to fill worth new data. Make your own data by using surveys.
Identify your schools learning challenge. Make yourself vulnerable to make yourself relatable.
Divert standardized test scores and highlight beginning of the year reading scores.

I have a weird obsession with making bookmarks each year for our interactive notebooks. I've tried ribbon and paper clips in various forms and they always seem to fall apart in some way.
My newest attempt is bookmarks that students can color. I make name sheets for the front of their binders that they can color. This year I've noticed a lot of students coloring when they get done with a quiz or test and are waiting on others to finish.
I decided to make my own bookmarks, have the students color them, and then I laminated them, and they hole punched and added a tassel.
Here is the fi ..read more

At the beginning of the school year I set out Student Council membership papers on the counter in the office.
I announce it on my class instagram and the whiteboard on my classroom door.

Task #2 Please follow @username on Instagram. DM me a fundraising idea (photo, video, message, link) that we could try this year.

I wanted a hands on way for students to learn the parts of a circle. Since I have small class sizes, this was not a big expense to get the supples.
paper plates
pipe cleaners/chenille stems
circle stickers
straws
rectangle stickers
hot glue gun
Here are the directions:
Direct Link
The back of the directions had a place for them to practice naming the parts of their circle as well.
My mistake was buying giant paper plates that the pipe cleaners weren't long enough for so just buy the basic cheap ones ..read more
