Rogers Belief: GALLERY WALK

10.28.2010

GALLERY WALK

On Friday, October 29th at 11:00 am, all of the classes at Rogers will take part in viewing each others' Belief work in a Gallery Walk format. Some classes have created books, others have Bulletin Boards and other have made class quilts to demonstrate our belief, "We care about ourselves, each other and this place". Classes will walk around to each class to view the work. We are celebrating the hard work that has been done on creating and messaging our school wide belief and our behavioral expectations.

Positive Behaviour Support Model

At Rogers, we are on Year 2 of 3 of implementing the Positive Behaviour Support model. Our plan is to reduce the number of student behaviour incidences at our school by explicitly teaching students the school expectations.

Everything we do with the PBS model is based on our overarching belief: At Rogers, "We care about ourselves, each other and this place."

The staff at Rogers has developed a PBS Matrix (Click to link) that covers five key areas at school. The five keys areas are: assemblies, hallways, bathrooms, classrooms and the playground. Within each area there are explicit expectations for each of: ourselves, each other and this place.

During the first six weeks of school, until mid-October, each classroom will cover one area per week. The students in each class will be involved in lessons that align with each aspect.

When you visit Rogers, you will see the bulletin boards that display the work that the students and teachers have done with the belief and the behaviors.

We will continue to grow our Positive Behaviour Support as the year progresses.
