At Scott Middle School, we believe in
A safe, inclusive, quality learning environment.
In August, the Scott Middle School staff began the process of establishing a set of core beliefs that will act as a cornerstone of an effective discipline plan. This process began at our staff development meetings prior to the start of the school year. In groups, staff members discussed a list of core beliefs taken from Jim Fay’s Love and Logic program. They were then given the task of coming to a consensus on 4 to 5 of the beliefs. The school’s Positive Behavior Support Committee then compiled these beliefs. The original list of 20 or so core beliefs was pared down to the 8 to 10 beliefs that received consensus from the staff. From there the 8 to 10 beliefs were taken back to the respective grade level teams for their input then brought back to the committee by each team’s representative. This information was then used to create a set of core beliefs that reflect the attitude of the Scott staff.
