__**Items to include in Tuesday's Staff Development**__

I have been looking over the PBS Module 1 book and I would love to see our team present page 66 (universal acknowledgement: Developing a Reinforcement System) thru Page 70. For those of you who do not have books this would take us thru a discussion of schoolwide reinforcement systems and includes an activity on brainstsorming what we could do here at BSMS. One of the pieces to this part of the training includes what we can do as a school to acknowledge staff which I think is a must right now.

Some other points to bring up:

8th grade drawings at lunch on fridays. anything else other grade leveal are doing for PBS. I know Mayhew does some stuff in her class.

Things we discussed at the last meeting:

buses....admin doing ride alongs to model and discuss bus behavior in front of the driver bus competitions..best bus etc MONEY for PBS stuff....dance?

Yes, we absolutely need to discuss ways of improving staff morale! I'd really like us to get going on schoolwide incentive system. I'm being completely selfish with this because I REALLY need some help in my gigantic classes. Since I've taken on the role of PBS Foater and Lord of the Spoon, I'll be glad to contribute to Tuesday's presentation any way I'm needed. --Matt

I'm assuming we are still planning to meet on Tuesday morning and we can hash out all the details for our afternoon responsiblities..??? Since our last morning meeting, the sixth grade has jumped on the bandwagon and are coping the 8th grade PBS nominations and drawings. The kids are very excited about the BBoard! -Mary

I still have the lists each team made of what they were going to do when they initiated planning at the beginning of the year. May be we could have them go back and evaluate what went well, what needs improving, and what they've added since then.

**We have students that forget their agendas. What should we do? We are gonna have a PBS banner made so we need to discuss how we want it. **

OK gang. I've added a new page to our wiki. It contains all of the feedback we got from the staff on School-Wide Reinforcement. Click here to go.
