Your plan must include:
- Rationale and features.
- Describe what will be included in the plan. For example:
- Discipline
- School safety
- Attendance
- Character education
- School spirit
Implementation.
- Discuss how you will implement this practice.
- Discuss how will you inform students and keep it enforced. For example:
- Any teacher can hand out a ticket
- Tickets can only be given out during certain times of the day
- Student's name must immediately be written on the ticket
Rewards.
- State who will be in charge of administering the rewards.
- Describe the kinds of rewards you will offer the students, and how often will they be administered. For example:
- Students will collect tickets from any teacher when they are caught doing something good. At the end of the semester, there will be a "price" guide where the tickets can be traded
- Students will be acknowledged each semester for things like perfect attendance, good citizenship, and service to the school and community
- Peer nominations for specific awards
You will create a presentation using Prezi or PowerPoint. Your SWPBIS plan must be 10 to 15 slides in length, with a title slide, an introduction slide, and a reference slide. Your plan should also be formatted according to APA guidelines, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Be sure to use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the textbook.
