BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION

Reinforcing Positive Behavior

The Windsor Bergen Academy behavior management system is based upon the core belief that students will maximize academic and behavioral gains in a well-managed school environment. To achieve this, the school offers a continuum of interventions that promotes defining, teaching and supporting the positive behaviors that will assist students in achieving successful outcomes across settings.

Our behavior program helps each student achieve his/her maximum social and emotional growth. Through positive reinforcement, students become aware of their behavioral outcomes. This motivates students to develop more appropriate coping skills and therefore learn better ways to conduct themselves across multiple settings, encouraging both academic and behavioral improvements. As a result, students experience a sense of self awareness, responsibility and achievement.

Point System

The behavior modification program encompasses a point system by which students earn points for meeting academic and behavioral expectations. It is an effective tool because it allows for the teacher to provide immediate feedback to students who meet any of the behavioral expectations. The point system is additive, not deductive; it is a proactive rather than reactive approach to behavioral management. Earned points translate into a placement on our three-tiered level system which provides for additional privileges. 

These privileges may include:

School Store

Earned points are redeemable at the school store. Students can spend points weekly or save them for a more valuable item. Our store is fully stocked with a wide variety of items including games, clothes, and electronics. Purchasing items from the school store allows our students to experience the rewards of hard work.
