Check out this graphic about global education. The things above water are just the tip of the iceberg. Try to go deeper in your instruction and touch some of the issues below the surface.
How can praising Bee's for effort impact their attitudes. Another look at Growth Mindset.
Two Videos, Two tales; which one is true? To get the full effect, watch them in order.
Ms. Burleson and Mr. Cokley have claimed the title of "First Contact." Using the website 'epals', they have actually contacted 3 classrooms from 3 different coutries, India, Australia, and.....well, I cannot remember the last one. But, the evidence has been confirmed. Teachers, if you are doing something similar, please let us know, we'd love to see it.

Mrs. Merrill has made it easy for your class to vote for Specials Bee Incentives. There is a Smart file on the S drive under PBIS/Specials Bee Incentive Vote 2014. Just drag that file onto your desktop, open and use.
All staff members, let's make sure we are teaching, reteaching, and teaching again the procedures in the common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Playground, Bus). We should be giving out lots of Bee's for students demonstrating the basic expectations. It is a good idea to review the procedures before you leave one area to travel to another area.
SMOD Tickets (dress code violations) are located in the workroom. Please keep the bottom portion for your own records as a way to keep track of the number of violations. The continuum is as follows:
1st offense: verbal warning, and letter will be sent home to be signed. Parent or guardian notified of violation
2nd offense: Teacher notifies parent or guardian and student is removed from class until proper SMOD is delivered.
(Teachers, we all should be enforcing this, it will only work if we all enforce it).
