Using the Three P’s (Policies, Procedures, and Processes) to Build and Sustain a Positive School Culture
Presentation Abstract
Our presentation will document the journey we have taken to achieve and sustain our operational PBIS school status. We will reveal the strategies that we have used continuously to decrease our discipline referrals, improve attendance, and sustain a positive culture. Our presentation will be for all stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, community member), and we will go through the process that we have taken to help students change negative behaviors and live up to the qualities of a successful, optimistic, actively involved, and respectful student at our school.
We will show the processes we have put in place to hold everyone accountable- students, parents, teachers, and other faculty and staff. This process has built a partnership to educate the whole child and has provided the framework we needed to work together to change our students’ thought processes. Through the policies, procedures, and processes we have in place, we have built a school culture where everyone takes pride in the school and where everyone works together to have a positive atmosphere. Our process has helped decrease our number of discipline referrals by more than 50%, and this process has also saved 701 days of ISS and OSS combined. We will share these practical strategies and develop a network with our attendees that will help them communicate with us and one another as they implement this framework to help turnaround their schools.
