We use data to monitor discipline referrals and suspensions

We use data to disaggregate by location, day of week and time of day.

We recognize the RtI pyramid in which 80% or more of the students are meeting expectations.

15% need monitoring and interventions 5% need intensive support through

success cards, the level system and

Staff understand that we all, adults and students, have behavior above the waterline which is what people see. Staff recognizes that what is below the waterline is motivating that behavior. This is true for all human beings. When considering someone’s behavior we think “what might be going on below the waterline.”

Staff understand that conflict will occur. A stressful event activates the child’s beliefs and thoughts. They trigger the child’s feelings. These feelings, not rational forces, drive their inappropriate behavior. This behavior can incite the adults. Adults can mirror the behavior which can escalate the situation into a power struggle. JMS staff know that responding is based on cognition or thought. Adults use logical and rational thinking to offer a response that is helpful to the situation.
