Episode 10: Unveiling the Transformative Journey of PBIS from Primary to Upper Grades

PBIS Journey to Genius

Imagine transforming your teaching approach to nurture every student's potential as they progress through school. That's precisely the mission Carol Mieroff champions, and she's joining us to share her wisdom on the transition from primary to upper grades within the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports system. With a personal narrative of becoming the teacher she once needed, Carol's insights bridge the gap between creating lasting student relationships and implementing effective recognition strategies that resonate with older children. Her poignant story of a former student's message, 25 years in the making, exemplifies the enduring influence a teacher can have.
As we unravel the complexities of teaching problem-solving skills, you'll gain an appreciation for the intricacies involved in weaving behavior goals into the very fabric of a child's school day. Carol elucidates on the magic of classroom meetings—democratic spaces where young minds contribute to solving their collective challenges, bolstering both their social and academic prowess. Through anecdotes and practical advice, we explore how personalized behavior conferences and dedicated relationship-building can underpin a successful PBIS approach. Join us for an episode that's not just informative, but a heartening reminder of the transformative power of education.
