The Missouri Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support Awards of Excellence were created to recognize schools that achieve positive outcomes for students through exemplary implementation of Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support (SW-PBS).
The following St. Joseph School District schools were recognized:
- Parkway – MO SW-PBS Bronze Award Plaque
- Coleman – MO SW-PBS Silver Award Plaque
- Pickett – MO SW-PBS Gold Award Plaque, MO SW-PBS Award of Excellence 10-Year Banner
Criteria are based on effective implementation of the essential components outlined by the National Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (http://www.pbis.org). The criteria are intentionally rigorous. Each recognition level typically requires two to three years of intense work to achieve these criteria. This intense groundwork produces sustainable systems and practices that result in positive outcomes for students.
