Feature Purpose: Provide students and staff frequent, positive, genuine feedback for displaying desired behaviors (both social and academic).
Feature Outcomes: Establish a positive school climate in which compliance receives more attention than non-compliance. Additionally, because the feedback will be contingent upon appropriate behaviors and provide specific feedback, it will serve as ongoing formative assessment information to guide future planning and learning.
Examples of a Continuum for Encouraging Expected Behaviors Include:
• Establish a system to provide tangible, specific positive feedback to students when they meet expectations.
• Establish a system to provide tangible, specific positive feedback to staff.
• Procedures are understood and practiced by administrators, staff, students, and families.
• Encouragement should be implemented at a sufficient ratio (e.g., 4:1) to support expected behaviors
