Whose Problem Is It?
At Dixon Elementary School the answer to that question is everyone. Everyone is responsible for helping children succeed at Dixon Elementary School where SW-PBS is practiced and supported by all.
Principal Lisa Parker shared this story about how SW-PBS has worked in their building.
Our custodians did a mini lesson a few months back with every class about the bathroom expectations. We also had our kitchen staff help out during the lessons. Each staff member volunteered to teach one class at a time, took them to the bathrooms, showed them the proper way to wash their hands, dry them, and went over the bathroom expectations. It was a big success and we plan to do it again next year!
Our custodians are essential in our school wide PBS. They promote our PBS in all areas and step up to take an active role in encouraging good behavior. When they spot a child following the expectations, they recognize them with a paper paw print. They also recognize whole classes at a time if the class as a whole has great behavior in the hall, bathroom or cafeteria. If the class does a great job in picking up at the end of the day, when they come in to clean they will leave the class a large paw print as well.
