Coronado, California – Coronado Middle School (CMS) and Village Elementary have both been honored with the Silver Award from the California PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports) Coalition. This prestigious recognition acknowledges the schools’ dedication to fostering a positive school climate and culture through effective leadership and supportive frameworks.
The Silver Award signifies the impressive commitment of school leadership and PBIS teams who have developed systems aimed at supporting student behavior. Both CMS and Village Elementary have been recognized for their successful implementation of interventions that nurture a constructive environment not only for students but also for their families and the wider community.
Superintendent Karl Mueller commended the heads of the schools, Principal Falar from CMS and Principal Kuhns from Village, for their extraordinary commitment to evidence-based behavioral practices. The recognition process for the PBIS involves a thorough evaluation of schools based on how well they set, enforce, and reward students for adhering to behavioral expectations.
Evaluation Process and Criteria
The annual awards given by the California PBIS Coalition are determined through a comprehensive review process that includes procedures, on-campus visits, and interviews with students and staff. This meticulous evaluation ensures that winning schools maintain a high standard of positive behavior interventions.
Supporting Student Success
To further bolster student performance, both schools employ a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) committee. This committee provides additional assistance for students who may need help in academic areas, behavioral conduct, or social-emotional development. The comprehensive support systems established at CMS and Village Elementary are pivotal for nurturing a holistic educational atmosphere.
Programs in Action
At Village Elementary, the school implements the Leader in Me program, which focuses on promoting leadership skills and personal responsibility among students. The program emphasizes key principles such as being Safe, Respectful, Responsible, and Kind, collectively referred to as the Explorer 4. Meanwhile, CMS has developed its own character framework, known as the Triton Three, centered around the virtues of ownership, integrity, and respect.
Impact on Students and Staff
Superintendent Mueller noted the remarkable progress manifested in students’ ability to articulate and abide by their school’s behavioral expectations. This development underscores the effectiveness of the character education programs being utilized. Staff members at both schools integrate these character concepts into their curricula and daily activities, significantly enhancing student learning outcomes and conduct.
