SCHOOL-WIDE DISCIPLINE PLAN

Revised August 2014

Guiding PrinciplesBeliefs Students need to apply their learning in meaningful, real-life

academic experiences that motivate them to do their best. Student learning is our main priority. Innovative ways of involving parents in the education of their

children must be established. Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community should be

committed to ensuring that students become confident, self-directed life-long learners.

School Character Points Diversity should increase students’ understanding of different

cultures within our school. Increased TCAP achievement scores in all disciplines. Reading- 49% Math- 59%Science- 70% Social Studies – 86%

Values All stakeholders share responsibility for advancing the school’s

mission.Revised August 2014

Mission

Our mission is to provide opportunities for students

to learn skills, acquire knowledge, and develop

character within a diverse, nurturing,

learning environment.

Revised August 2014

Vision

Our vision is to provide a safe, welcoming, and challenging environment for learning. The social, intellectual, and emotional growth of every child will be supported by learning in the areas of reading, math, science, social studies, and technology. All students will be encouraged and expected to strive for their personal best.

Revised August 2014

Goals and/or Objectives

To utilize PBIS Training, Responsive Classroom Training, Kingian Non-Violence Training, Lee Canter’s Assertive Discipline Guide, Peaceable Schools Training, Harry Wong’s The First Days of School, and Memphis City Schools Board Policies on student behavior as a framework at Jackson Elementary. Students are treated in a firm, fair, and consistent manner daily.

In addition, we will comply with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Guidelines for Exceptional Children. Based on data from 14-15 Jackson Elementary PBIS surveys, our results have improved.

To date, we did not have any suspensions for SPED students over 10 days. Therefore, we will continue our best practices for current disruptive behaviors.

School-wide behavior support team has a budget for (a.) teaching students, (B.) on-going rewards, and (c.) annual staff planning. Consequences for problem behaviors are defined clearly.

Consequences for problem behaviors are defined clearly.

Strategies Behavior support team meets (scheduled on the calendar monthly) to review student behavior files which

includes chronic behavior problems. (meetings subject to need) Certain teachers or staff can be designated as “emergency friends” to escort students to “safe rooms”

when the student is seriously out of control. Solicit support from our adopters to provide incentives for teaching and rewarding students. Teachers can request mentoring in supervisory skills by staff. Guidance counselor provides support in positive parenting in parenting classes that are held on Monday

mornings. SCS Posters are created and provided for each classroom that reminds students and teachers of

consequences for specific types of infractions. Positive Parenting tips are sent home periodically. Principal will continue to conduct new student orientation for all students who are new to our school. Parents are included in these meetings to help increase likelihood of success and to encourage parent

involvement. Teachers attend in-service that promotes skills on supervising students and monitoring their behavior.

(PBIS Committee- Kingian Non Violence) Certain teachers or staff members are identified as “safe rooms” where students can be placed to reflect on

their behavior and calm down when necessary. Review of types of infractions and consequences in faculty meetings periodically. Students referred by teachers are discussed with teacher and brainstorming sessions held to discuss options

on improving problem behaviors.
