How does the Centralia School District support positive behavior?
The Centralia School District has established a Positive Behavior Supports Model to provide optimal conditions for learning by maintaining a positive school environment where:
- everyone is treated with respect
- physical and emotional safety is ensured
- responsible behavior is the norm
Centralia School District staff support students at all stages of behavior:
- Prevent inappropriate behavior
- Prepare students to make appropriate choices
- Respond to inappropriate behavior
- Restore relationships after inappropriate behavior occurs
To accomplish this, the Centralia School District Positive Behavior Support Model includes:
- Trauma-Informed Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (TI-PBIS)
- Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
- Equitable Discipline
- Restorative Practices
This model was created by the K-12 Positive Behavior Team, including administrators, teachers, counselors, and School Board representation. The Executive Director of Teaching and Learning and the Positive Behavior Support Specialist provide staff support in implementing the Positive Behavior Supports Model across the district.
How do school buildings support positive behavior?
