FALL INTERSESSION - Professional Development Opportunities
NO INTERSESSION FOR STUDENTS!  You must register to attend.

PBIS/GE:  The environment is non-threatening and conducive to risk-taking.  Mistakes are viewed as opportunities to learn and grow.

• Establish positive rapport with and demonstrate respect for all members of the learning environment.
• Develop a feeling of community and structure through the use of the 8 Expectations and Life Principles.
• Use team building, cooperative learning, and projects to build a sense of group accomplishment and cohesion.
• Select, teach, apply, and analyze wisdom literature and quotes to guide behaviors and attitudes such as "Mistakes are okay," and "Learners are responsible for their own actions."
• Use upbeat music at different times during the day.  Use relaxing music without lyrics during processing time.  Soft music can act as a buffer during processing and small group work.
