Presentation Abstract
PBIS: A Shared Positive Culture – Into the Neighborhood and Beyond
Throughout our PBIS process, Mainstay Academy has sought to include community members in promoting a positive and lasting change with our students, staff, parents and other community stakeholders by focusing on our core values of being safe, respectful and responsible community members. By promoting a positive shared culture through the PBIS process, a more informed, tolerant, supportive, and safe community can be achieved.
This presentation will illustrate how Mainstay Academy, a member of the Georgia Network of Educational and Therapeutic Supports, has worked to expand PBIS involvement to create connections beyond the school. Mainstay Academy PBIS student Ambassadors will share personal experiences and stories. They will discuss their aspects of the school and home community that have been beneficial in their personal development and growth. This school year the PBIS team will facilitate the student ambassadors’ implementation of student led initiatives used to expand our positive school culture into their homes and communities. Outreach, training processes, and results will be discussed.
