Positive+Learning+and+Working+Environment

Goals of Kingsclear Consolidated’s School Positive Learning and Working Environment Plan: - Goal # 1 - To annually review the school-based Pyramid of Interventions. These are the school’s existing best practices which foster Policy 703 Goals. - Goal # 2 - By June 2012, to fully adopt strong social skills programs that are integrated holistically into the curriculum and that are common to all. Programs will include strategies which help both students and staff. - Goal # 3 - By June 2012, to develop and adopt mechanisms to give student voice to decisions affecting school life.

Goals of Policy 703: - Good citizenship and civility are modeled and reinforced; every person is treated with respect - All have a right to work and learn in a safe, orderly, productive, respectful, and harassment-free environment - Inclusive educational practices are supported and promoted - Students have a sense of belonging and connection - Parents, school personnel, district staff, and school community each play a role in helping students learn social skills, self-discipline, empathy, compassion, and ethics through instruction and example

** Kingsclear Consolidated Current Best Practices ** - I treat everyone with respect - I do my best school work - I work and play safely - I care for my surroundings
 * The School Code of Conduct: **

The three tier pyramid of interventions (for both academic and behavior) is used at Kingsclear Consolidated. The first tier contains school-wide interventions that are preventive and proactive. These are universal interventions that are for all students in all settings. These include the School’s Code of Conduct, students reading announcements, Code of Conduct Weekly Focus, Special Interest clubs, Restitution and Reflection for discipline issues, Enrichment Triads, Principal Commendation Cards, and Student Directed Conflict Resolution.
 * Continuum of Interventions and Supports: **

The second tier contains targeted group interventions for at-risk students. Tier Two interventions are characterized by their high efficiency and rapid response. The school is working toward increasing the repertoire of interventions available to teachers. Tier Two interventions are appropriate for approximately five to ten percent of our students and include: School-based Student Services Problem Solving Meeting, Accommodated Behaviour Support Plans, behavior tracking books and District tracking records, Special Interest Clubs specifically targeted to students experiencing difficulty, School Social Worker presentations (Circles Program), small group social skills training and YMCA Membership Scholarships.

The third tier contains intensive, individual interventions. These interventions are for the one to five percent of our students who need individualized, assessment-based procedures that are intense and durable. Interventions are delivered by school, district, and outside agency personnel. Interventions include: Individualized Behaviour Support Plans, Applied Behaviour Analysis programs, Behaviour Intervention Worker support, individual social skills training, behavior tracking books for self awareness, Autism Support Worker support, and Partners for Youth program.
