MUSTANG SPIRIT-
Guideline for Success- The guidelines for success represent a set of skills, traits, and attitudes that everyone in the school always strives to demonstrate. They serve as the hub of staff efforts to create a safe, civil and productive school. Not all students come to school knowing what is required for success. When the skills, attitudes and traits are incorporated into the school culture, students do not have to guess at what they are. They set a tone for a school’s climate and provide a focus for all members of the school community. At Greens Prairie, we use Mustang “SPIRIT” to communicate our guidelines for success with our students and staff. Safari Montage: Mustang Spirit Video YouTube: youtu.be/dQoSWG8oMq4 |

GP Cafeteria Expectations
I created a Powtoons slide show of our Cafeteria Expecations that you can share with your students. |
CHAMPSThe goal of classroom management is to develop a classroom of students who are: respectful, responsible, motivated and highly engaged in meaningful tasks. Not all students come to us motivated and/or responsible. There are techniques and strategies that can improve student behavior, attitude and motivation. An effective classroom management plan prevents misbehavior and is continually refined to help students become increasingly respectful, responsible, motivated and highly engaged. The CHAMPS approach is a guide to the decisions teachers can make to build and implement a proactive and positive approach to classroom management and gives common language among staff. It provides the teachers with structure and helps them teach students how to behave responsibly. The CHAMPS acronym helps provide teachers with a structure to teach students expectations.

CSISD has HEARTWith campuses in such different places in their SEL learning we needed a way to organize our plan moving forward. What was born was HEART: Honesty, Effective Decision Making, Appreciating Differences, Relationships, and Tenacity. Within those categories, the work of Conscious Discipline and Safe and Civil Schools certainly apply, but it also allows us to think beyond just those resources. The chart here helps define the areas within which we will start to develop resources and training as we move forward with Social Emotional Learning in CSISD.

One LinersOne-liners are quick, practiced responses used in correctional situations. The purpose of the one-liner is to make
sure the adult skillfully responds to the student instead of becoming sidetracked or emotional.

Conscious DisciplineThe entire staff will receive training in Conscious Discipline and will begin making connections by implementing the following components of CD: school family, friends and family board, breathing, safe place, greeters, job assignments, and celebrations. All persons who work at Greens Prairie Elementary have the authority and expectation to consistently and continuously enforce school and classroom procedures. Each classroom teacher will notify parents of class policy and make parent contact as an intervention step prior to office referral except in extreme cases.
Voice LEVELSThere are numerous attention signals that staff and teachers can us to gain their student’s attention. As staff, it is important that we have a common approach and language and to help gain our student’s attention in large group settings. At Greens Prairie, we use the term “Look at me, copy me.” as our quiet signal. In conjunction with using this phrase, our students are to copy the hand signal of the speaker. For example: The teacher will say “Look at me, copy me.” while raising your whole hand, putting your thumbs up or any other appropriate hand signal.
As we try to teach our student appropriate voice levels we use these numbers to correlate with how loud the students can be. Greens Prairie Elementary Voice Levels: 1 silence 2 whisper 3 conversation voice 4 outside voice |
