Ms. Wheeler shared the final draft of the Culture Handbook with the committee members. It was a project created by Mr. Jennings, Ms. Wheeler and Ms. Charles. It provides clarity on how to set up the classroom, reps by grade level, the discipline ladder, de-escalation, etc.
Committee members were curious about how many teachers were moving and up in the classroom. They were also interested if the frequency of bucks used per teacher is being tracked.
Discussion led to the 1-2 key culture items to focus on across the staff for consistency and to not dilute the message. To pick the most important immediate items that will affect the greatest change.
