The Challenge

Santiago High School was ready to move beyond just focusing on greater academic outcomes for students; they were determined to motivate students to be responsible and competent citizens as well.

To accomplish this goal, staff decided to systematically build and maintain a healthy school climate that would benefit students and staff for years to come.

The Solution

  • Identify behaviors to be measured and use an online behavior management platform to manage data.
  • Provide adequate resources and training to staff to support engagement and increase consistency throughout the school.
  • Acknowledge and reward identified positive behaviors to encourage school connectedness and engagement while reducing unwanted behaviors.
  • Make data-based decisions using real-time student data to maximize the impact of the program for staff and students.

The Results

  • Acknowledged positive behaviors through awarding points (or “Shark Bites”), which were instantaneously given and tallied digitally, making the process transparent for students and easy for staff.
  • All staff (administrators, teachers, and support staff) participated in the program, increasing consistency and buy-in.
  • Provided school leaders with real-time, insightful data to measure school climate indicators and identify students who may need additional support earlier.
  • Gained back valuable in-class instruction time for teachers and students by reducing tardiness.
