2. LCAP/SPSA School Goal #3
Farnham School will be an orderly and purposeful environment in which students and staff feel safe and free to learn and work.
Farnham Elementary School will sustain consistent, school-wide implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) to maintain a positive school culture, foster an inclusive environment that ensures appropriate behavior for all students and builds an effective learning environment. Additionally, we will continue to maintain a positive school climate and create opportunities for students to demonstrate good citizenship and be lifelong learners.

3. Action Steps Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) plan
Monitor attendance and discipline
Offer a variety of club offerings and enrichment activities
Provide services to meet the emotional, behavioral and mental health needs of students
Implement and analyze the Student Healthy Kids survey in Grade 5 (spring 2016)

4. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Outcomes -- academic and behavior targets that are endorsed and emphasized by students, families and educators (Farnham ABCs and Life Skills)
Practices – evidence-based interventions and strategies (“how” we reach our goals -- teaching and practicing routines and procedures, student recognition through Falcon Feathers, Student of the Week, Staff of the Week, etc.)
Data – information we gather that helps us identify areas of needed change and/or the effects of interventions, and finally,
Systems that can be implemented that are sustainable over the long-haul -- supports that enable the accurate and durable implementation of the PBIS

5. If you want it, teach it. Teach where you want it
If you want it, teach it. Teach where you want it. If you want to see it, look for it. If you see it, recognize and reward it.
-- Dale R. Myers
