Nine schools in the Daviess County Public Schools district have earned Bronze awards based on fidelity of implementation of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
In making the presentation, the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative described PBIS as “an evidence-based, proactive approach to teaching and reinforcing behavioral expectations with a goal of improving student behavior, maximizing instructional time and increasing student engagement, while also promoting an overall physically and psychologically safe school culture and climate.”
Country Heights, East View, Highland, Sorgho, West Louisville and Whitesville elementary schools; Burns and College View middle schools; and Heritage Park High School have reached Tier I (Bronze) of the three tiers recognizing implementation and outcome data. This is the first year of recognition for BMS, CVMS and HPHS; the other schools have continued to maintain their status from previous years of achievement.
“Our work with PBIS continues to make a positive impact on our schools,” said DCPS School Support Coordinator Caleb York. “This proactive and intentional approach is impacting not only these nine schools, but all schools in the DCPS district. Our goal is to ensure students are ready to succeed once they graduate, but we realize that success is not only academic success but also behavioral.”
DCPS schools have been working to implement PBIS since 2017-18 school year. Each school has a team focused on PBIS implementation and is responsible for identifying three to five school-wide expectations.
“Each building’s expectations are unique to their school, but each of them address values of the Owensboro-Daviess County community,” York said. “For instance, Heritage Park’s expectations are Responsibility, Integrity, Service, and Excellence. The team at Heritage works to instill these values in their students and school culture so they can carry those values forward into life.”
DCPS Assistant Superintendent for Human Services Dr. Amy Shutt said,“I am very proud of our schools and applaud the work they do each day to intentionally create an environment that is conducive to learning for every student. PBIS helps us establish expectations and participate in celebrations that contribute to positive school culture for our students, staff, and families”
York said, “I am excited by the commitment of our schools. You can see the commitment and impact to PBIS in every school. Teachers are proactively teaching expectations and procedures to ensure that students know how to successfully navigate school. This positive, proactive, instructional approach to school results in improved student behavior which has a positive impact on student achievement.”
