support staff, families, youth, etc.) who develop an annual

action plan that drives the implementation of the Tiered

Fidelity Inventory.

summaries to staff, and responds to feedback to guide and

improve process.

Do you have a vision that compels new ways

of thinking and acting?

Working with your staff or team,

discuss your vision of your school:

If you could create the school of your dreams,

what would it

look like and sound like

with a

positive, proactive, and instructional approach

to discipline?

(15)

Think:

Using post-its – write descriptors of what

you would see or hear in the school of your

dreams.

Pair:

At your table share your vision creating a

team poster through words and/or pictures

representing what it will look and sound like.

Share:

Hang your poster on the wall and complete

a gallery walk of the t-charts.
