The Kennebec Journal<\/a> quoted University of Maine faculty members Courtney Angelosante, a special education lecturer, and Jim Artesani, associate dean in the College of Education and Human Development, in an article about measures to improve safety and happiness in schools. Palermo Consolidated School and others in the Sheepscot Valley school district, Regional School Unit 12, recently have focused on positive reinforcement techniques instead of punishment to correct student behavior. The schools have implemented a set of guidelines created by researchers at the University of Oregon and focused on the importance of data and the need to instruct students with behavioral disorders on social skills, according to the article. The staff at Palermo Consolidated School makes an effort to provide five times more positive than negative feedback to students as part of a plan to curb poor behavior before it turns into something more serious and possibly violent, according to the article. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a good idea; it\u2019s based on research,\u201d said Angelosante. \u201cThe higher that ratio, the higher the feelings of safety. It\u2019s not about phony instances of praise, but talking about, \u2018You\u2019re acting in line with what we value here.\u2019 That\u2019s an important way for us to build a community of safety and respect.\u201d Staff members try to frame corrections in a positive way and when students do misbehave, data for the incidents are carefully recorded. At Palermo, the methods seem to be working \u2014 the number of students referred to the office more than once per year dropped from 40 to 20 percent last year, the KJ reported. 91르적\u2019s College of Education and Human Development received a $246,000 grant to help districts implement the guidelines, the article states. \u201cThere is closer attention to students who are exhibiting various types of need, and the likelihood of a student not having their needs addressed is reduced,\u201d Artesani said. \u201cIn some school shootings, people say, \u2018We had no idea this person would do this,\u2019 but there\u2019s a long distance between seeing someone who is displaying some things you\u2019d be concerned about, and then jumping to, \u2018This person would bring guns to school and shoot people.\u2019 There needs to be a way to address the needs of kids long before it gets to that.\u201d The Sun Journal<\/a> published the KJ article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
