 Recognizing that student populations in Alberta schools are changing and that there is a growing need to support school communities, it is essential that schools take a school-wide approach to promote positive social communication while reducing and preventing problem behaviors. This video series is designed to support school communities develop school-wide behavioral supports. Each of the videos highlights an essential step taken by the staff at Anfit's Gerald School developing a shared vision and a common language towards a proactive approach to managing challenging behaviors. When I first came to Anfit's Gerald School we did have a lot of severe behavior and it was hard on the teachers. People were burning out and it was hard on the children and the families. Working collaboratively to support a diverse student population ensures that a student is successful in all areas of their life. Solving the puzzle, having conversations with teachers and helping them bring it together to be a really holistic view. When we can understand why they're doing what they're doing we can find the right strategies to help them to correct it. A plan of action to help them to adapt to classroom life better. It's not just their academics and their social skills that are improving but it's improving their quality of life and just their happiness as a child. Behavior has decreased in my classroom profoundly. The kids are happy, they feel supported, the parents feel supported, it's really made a huge difference. These interventions play an important part in ensuring all students reach their educational potential.
