Reinforcement, Interventions, Supports, and Expectations

a behavior program designed to create and maintain a positive school climate.

Effective behavior support recognizes the different support needs of students. Systems must be integrated and address unique and common needs to create a positive and safe learning environment where students can fulfill their potential.

When systems are in place, there can be a pro-active approach to addressing social skill needs as well as developing appropriate plans for individual behavioral needs. The systems teach through examples, practice opportunities, and positive reinforcement. Along with clearly defined rules with expected behavior and consequences, these systems provide the environment for increased development in social and academic skills.

RISE is based on PBIS which is based on a body of evidence-based practices that positively and effectively respond to the social-emotional, behavioral and learning needs of all students. This system of interventions, strategies, and supports help to guide the school through the process.
Derry Village is committed to working for positive, effective changes in school climate and students. We continue to watch our students change and grow, along with us to become effective learners and citizens.
