I teach in a small rural school district in the Midwest. Many students come from single parented homes. A majority qualify for free or reduced lunch. As adolescents, the students ironically exhibit both high energy and fatigue. They may have reached the upper grades with learning deficiencies or they may be gifted and talented, we have a wide variety. As a school, we are implementing positive behavioral intervention and supports (PBIS) programs. We are experiencing many gains, but still have some work to do. The teachers act like mentors and supply classroom materials and other assistance to help students.
