PB4L Term 3 Meeting

 


Today I met the new PB4L facilitator Melanie. 

Mana akiaki/LeVa - $40 - Modules for preventing suicides for Maori. Life keepers

CARE - Connect, ask, respond, engage

Perhaps this is a good course to understand the path we can take to seek help for our tamariki. It can also help us with dialogue for us to use with students at risk.

UBRS - Understanding Behaviours Responding Safely

Understanding some neuroscience behind the behaviour, then looking at what we can respond safely.

This is about de-escalation. Have we got reliever packs that explain our PB4L system? Suggestion: they have a kete. Having a class description for the reliever with individual plans.

Tier 1 needs to be kept alive with the lens of covid-19. 

Cool idea: One school is using their caught being good coupons as a statistical inquiry. Some schools are co-constructing their lessons for PB4L.

It was mentioned a few times today that most schools don't call it PB4L or positive behaviour for learning. This reminded me that at Oruaiti School we call it mahitahi but I always forget to say this.

How about we use a spot to put our coupons? Maybe in a toolbox separated for the house. Also, discussed whether or not we put the reason on the coupon. I probably think we should be highlighting the value.

Staffroom noticeboards: Can people come in to school and see the values and our reward system.
