PBL Focus

This week students are focusing on dress code. All classes are going to look at:

• ‘Why have a dress code?”,
• “Why do we have a school uniform?”,
• “What is our Calliope State School uniform?”,
• “What is inappropriate dress for school?”,
• “What happens when a student wears the wrong school uniform?”,
• “What can we wear on free dress days?”.

If you wish to have a copy of the powerpoint that the students will be engaging in to reinforce at home, please email jxran4@eq.edu.au.        

Tiered Behaviour Data

The triangle graph has been used to indicate the percentage of students at Calliope State School who are at each tier. 

Major behaviours – Major behaviours are behaviours that are so serious that immediate assistance is needed, have strong negative impact on others, or are so disruptive that teaching and learning cannot continue.

Universal Supports Tier 1 - 'differentiated and explicit teaching for all students', or school-wide interventions, are the critical foundation for PBL. Interventions are at the whole-school level and are provided to all students across academic, emotional and behaviour dimensions of learning. The focus of tier 1 intervention is on all students and staff across all settings—whole-school, classroom and non-classroom.

We are currently sitting at 91.6% of students in Tier 1. As you can see from the above triangle, usually Tier 1 sits at around 80%. PBL targets are 80% for all Queensland PBL schools. Below I have represented the data that we have at Calliope State School in whole numbers to show that 91.6% is 516 students in Tier 1.
