- STARS behavior is an umbrella system, a culture the community can rally behind
- Lessons are planned around it at the beginning of the year, every student knows what STARS stands for and they have all adopted the 2 year old program
- Many reward opportunities – Husky tickets get pooled together in each classroom, each month the class in each grade with the most wins a prize and gets recognized (they get the Husky in classroom and write in a journal that gets passed among classes); Principals 200 club – teachers randomly receive special gold tickets to give out to individuals that are demonstrating STARS behavior, ticket goes home for parent/guardian signature, name is put on board in cafeteria, once there are 10 names in a category, those students get a special mystery reward, a mystery motivator; Cafeteria reward – aide watches each class and gives them a “grade” for different categories, class with most points at end of month gets a special snack and paper to draw on at lunch (PTO contributes $25/month for this reward)
- After Rita’s prize wheel, no other fundraisers scheduled yet
- Signs and banners around school need to be replaced with STARS information
- OLWEUS – anti-bullying program, teach difference between teasing vs. bullying, it’s a behavior not a character trait, teachers have class meetings where students can talk about problems at home and school and it’s also a time for team building and talking about personal goals
