POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT

Here at Kemp Elementary our faculty and staff have developed the STARS program based on PBS (Positive Behavioral Support). This program focuses on expectations rather than rules. The expectations are clearly set out throughout the classrooms, hallways, and any other areas where children may be. Our program STARS focuses on five expectations:

	Self Responsibility
	Team Work
	Attitude
	Respect
	Safety

These behaviors are clearly laid out for children so they know what they should do. Here is an example of one matrix that children see and know how to follow:
