(As a requirement for EDLD 5326 Week 5)
Since my district underwent a major restructuring of
campuses, I have to tweak my research project to reflect those changes. My campus went from a seventh and eighth
grade campus to only housing eighth graders.
This will not change the focus or intent of the project, but it will
narrow the scope. One of the first steps
of my project was to administer a teacher survey to evaluate understanding and
buy-in of the PBIS program as well as school climate at the Junior High
campus. The survey was developed,
revised, and approved by my site supervisor, then administered to the teachers. The survey will be repeated at the end of
this school year, and the results of the two surveys will be compared. Also, discipline data is currently being
collected to be compared to data from last school year. That data is being disaggregated to evaluate
sub-groups. Special attention will be
given to Special Education students and the effect a fully implemented PBIS
program will have on them in particular.
An ongoing task is reviewing literature and collaborating with campus
administration to improve the implementation of the PBIS program. Currently, I
am on target to complete this effort within the projected timelines.
