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.

Proficient Level of Implementation is:

·     We have established school-wide procedures for all teachers and staff to give students ongoing, specific, contingent, frequent and positive verbal and tangible performance feedback. We have disseminated to all staff.

·     At least 80% of teachers and staff frequently (using a 4:1 ratio of positive to negative/corrective statements) recognize students who meet expectations in all settings,  fluently use school PBS language and give school wide tangible items.

·     At least 80% of teachers involve students in developing class / schoolwide goals of earning tangibles and planning celebrations. Celebrations occur frequently and are varied enough to maintain student interest.

Implementation Examples include:

·        Observation of teachers providing verbal feedback

·        Schoolwide tangible system developed and implemented

·        Schoolwide or classroom counts tied to celebrations
