Village Elementary and Coronado Middle School in California have both achieved the esteemed Silver Award from California PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports) in recognition of their effective development of a behavioral framework that enhances the overall climate and culture of their schools. This accolade highlights the commitment these institutions have towards creating a supportive and positive learning environment.
The Silver Award is a commendation awarded to schools that have demonstrated exemplary implementation of consistent systems to establish, enforce, and reward acceptable student behavior. Both schools were rigorously evaluated through a comprehensive review process that included campus and classroom visits, along with interviews conducted with students and staff. Such assessments are vital components of the PBIS recognition process, which aims to promote effective practices that support student behavior.
As part of their efforts to cultivate school spirit and encourage positive behaviors, both Village Elementary and Coronado Middle School hold a weekly assembly termed “Friday Flagpole.” This event serves to not only foster camaraderie among students but also formally recognize individuals who exemplify positive behavior throughout the week.
Superintendent Karl Mueller commended the exceptional dedication shown by Principal Falar of Coronado Middle School and Principal Kuhns of Village Elementary in incorporating evidence-based behavioral practices into their schools. Their leadership has played a crucial role in developing a learning environment that prioritizes support for students.
Both schools implement the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) committees, which focus on identifying and addressing various student needs encompassing academics, behavior, and social-emotional development. These coordinated efforts ensure a systematic approach to meeting the diverse requirements of students at different levels.
Furthermore, Village Elementary promotes the Leader in Me program combined with the Explorer 4 values comprising Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Kind. This initiative encourages students to take on leadership roles and instills a sense of responsibility among them.
On the other hand, Coronado Middle School operates under a character code known as the Triton Three, which emphasizes the principles of taking ownership, acting with integrity, and showing respect. Both of these character programs are instrumental in establishing a foundational framework of behavioral expectations for students and staff alike.
The recognition from California PBIS reflects the impact that these structured behavioral expectations have on shaping students’ attitudes and behaviors throughout each grade. Schools across the state are encouraged to utilize such models to enhance their educational environments.
In its endeavor to foster a collaborative network for educational leaders, California PBIS aims to implement effective, evidence-based practices in various school settings. This initiative is crucial for ensuring that schools are equipped with the necessary tools and strategies to nurture positive behaviors among their student populations and promote a productive academic atmosphere.
