Statewide Reach for Local Impact

FIND IT FUND IT FLORIDA

Poinciana Elementary introduced last year a new positive behavior system to our staff and students. Our attempt was to take the school's traditional expectations and merge them with some of Leader in Me and PBIS elements to create a uniquely "Poinciana" culture.
Within our main goal, we had our staff and students adapt a more unified positive attitude and behavior culture on campus by incorporating the school-wide positive behavior incentive program; The Peli-CAN Way. This program provided year round guidance for behavior expectations and mindset. Students were positively recognized for their demonstration of positive behavior and mindset through a variety of incentives.
This contributed to a decrease in discipline and increase in resiliency and leadership.

This school year we would like to expand on this program with additional visual materials through our campus. These visual materials will continue to help our staff teach and model our Peli-Can Way program.

What will be done with my students

As part of our Peli-CAN Way we have seven core behavior expectations. Each month we focus on a specific expectation to teach, model and identify in students.
We would like to purchase flags that state this expectations to hang through out our campus to be visual aids in our goal.
Students will be identified and seen as leaders of the school for demonstrating the school's expectations.
School-wide there will be posters and bulletin boards showcasing the positive behavior expectations and mindsets. This visual reminder will aid myself, and staff to model, reinforce and teach the Peli-CAN Way to students. 

 

Benefits to my students

This school-wide program will continue to foster positive attitudes, mindset, and behavior at our school, in homes and in the community among our staff and students. Students will continue improve positive behavior, their mindset, and social skills as they practice these at school.
As a School Counselor, I will continue to guide our Peli-CAN Way program with introducing these visual aids to our campus decor.
With our school-wide bulletin boards and posters this will assist teachers and staff to model, and teach expectations and skills related to the Peli-Can Way.
The students will also benefit from being a part of developing a positive environment/culture which will help to improve our discipline. Creating an inviting environment improves attitudes of all on campus. As students are recognized they will also have the opportunity to be leaders which is a huge part of our school as well.
