POSITIVE BEHAVIOR & CHARACTER EDUCATION The four pillars of Baldwin Junior High School’s Positive Behavior & Character Education Program are: Responsibility, Respect, Honesty, and Safety. Responsibility – Following classroom expectations, being someone others can depend on, being accountable for your decisions and actions, and doing what you say you will do. What does this look like? - Coming to class prepared and on time. Taking part in class projects, activities, and discussions. Completing and turning homework in on time. Behaving as expected. Respect – Treating everyone including yourself with dignity and taking pride in your school. What does this look like? - Allowing others the opportunity to learn, engaged listening, raising your hand, following the dress code, and using classroom appropriate language. Honesty – Respectfully telling the truth and meaning what you say. What does this look like? - Doing your own schoolwork to your best ability. Tell the truth even when it is difficult. Take ownership for your actions. Do what you know is right. Safety – Protection from danger risk or injury. What does this look like? - Walking, not running. Keeping hands, feet, body to self. Keep traffic moving in the hall. Don’t rock back in your chair. Keep aisles and halls clear. Immediately report accidents or other safety issues to staff member. Leave unnecessary items at home. Store unused property.
