Recommendations
The following recommendations are offered for your consideration.
1. Implement after school programs that provide academic assistance, enrichment, and recreational activities.
These activities could include teacher-sponsored clubs or utilize outside services such as 21st Century Learning. Student-generated ideas can also provide opportunities for students to be engaged. See Appendix - Section Three: Internal Stakeholders Document: A for supporting documents.
2. Implement a School-Wide Positive Behavior System (SWPBS).
SWPBS involves all internal stakeholders in developing common core values that serve as the basis for consistent campus-wide practices. Additional support for tiers 2 and 3 could be provided through a social worker or through Communities in Schools (CIS) in conjunction to the other interventions in place at CMS. One free resource for the implementation of SWPBS is Dr. Jane Ross, Positive Behavior Support Coach and District Advisory Council Co-Chair in Austin ISD has offered to advise CMS if assistance is needed with this recommendation and many research-based free resources are available.
