Positive Behavior Support
Positive Behavior Support
Our Approach
Solterra Academy’s approach to behavior support is based upon the provision of a safe, stable, consistent and appropriately structured learning environment which provides emotional support and predictable organization for students.
Behavior plans are developed for each student based upon a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA).
Plans are individualized to meet each student’s social, emotional and developmental needs while supporting their classroom functioning.
School Behavioral Support System
Our Goal
- School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) with teaching, modeling and reinforcement of respectful, responsible, kind and safe behaviors.
- Positive reinforcement at a classroom level which includes a motivating and developmentally appropriate reinforcement system linked directly to the PBIS School Values.
- Reinforcing recreational and social activities which are organized and implemented weekly throughout the school, to support social skill development and skill generalization.
- Classroom-based strategies and activities that emphasize emotional regulation and stress-reducing coping skills.
- The development and implementation of daily classroom routines which provide structure for regular events, (e.g. morning arrival, transitions, cafeteria use, dismissal, lesson wrap-up).
- A process for addressing behavioral issues which is structuring, therapeutic and which utilizes problem-solving and reparation strategies while teaching empathy and pro-social behaviors.
Developing a culture of engaged, self-disciplined, collaborative, and creative thinkers.
