These items will help provide incentives for our students to apply their social-emotional learning skills in their classrooms (aligned with the State of Nevada's SEAD Five SEL Competencies of Self-Awareness 1-4, Self-Management 1-3, Social Awareness 1-3, Relationship Skills 1-2, and Responsible Decision-Making 1-2). Many of these skills have been lost or forgotten during the tumultuous learning experience my students have had during COVID, and there is a need to re-teach and reinforce positive classroom behaviors so that students can "get back in the groove" of being in the classroom and interacting with peers and staff appropriately in-person. These incentives will help us do exactly that. PBIS is a research-based, best teaching practice that helps reward students for exhibiting positive SEL-based standards of behaviors through incentives, thereby increasing the frequency with which students use these appropriate behaviors and building student competency and comfort in using these behaviors.
In addition, these resources will help promote NVACS for Health (7.SM.HS.1 and 7.SM.HS.2) as they will reinforce students for demonstrating behaviors that improve the mental health of self and others and reduce mental health risks to self and others and Health standards (4.IC.HS.1 and 4.IC.HS.2) as it will reinforce students for positive and effective communication and collaboration and build skills in all of these areas.
