Systematic Supervision Creating a Safe & Positive Playground

Recess! That important time of day when students can give their minds a break and their bodies to do what growing bodies are meant to do: run, jump, climb, swing and play.

Systematic Supervision will help to reduce negative behavior and increase positive behavior on the playground as well as make playground supervisors jobs easier and more rewarding. Participants will learn six tested and effective positive behavior support techniques that they can put into practice immediately.

Staff will learn how to:

• Create and maintain Positive Behavior Support techniques
• Establish and maintain a positive environment and relationship with students
• Focus on positive, appropriate behaviors
• Keeping track of playground behavior with movement and scanning methods
• Responding effectively and efficiently to problem behavior
• Working as a team to support appropriate student behavior

The Mission of DCSD Staff Development is to assure professional growth opportunities that increase employee job skills and knowledge, promote organizational development, and contribute to increased student learning and achievement.
