learning in the areas of reading, math,
science, social studies, and technology.

Goals and/or Objectives
 To utilize PBIS Training, Responsive Classroom Training,
Kingian Non-Violence Training, Lee Canter’s Assertive
Discipline Guide, Peaceable Schools Training, Harry Wong’s
The First Days of School, and Memphis City Schools Board
Policies on student behavior as a framework at Jackson
Elementary. Students are treated in a firm, fair, and
consistent manner daily.
 In addition, we will comply with section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Guidelines for Exceptional
Children. Based on data from 14-15 Jackson Elementary PBIS
surveys, our results have improved.

over 10 days. Therefore, we will continue our best practices
for current disruptive behaviors.
