Building Blocks of Positive Behavior

There are many ways to get students to act positively in and outside of the classroom. Every school and every classroom has different guidelines and ideas they think works best to extract the best behavior of their students. PBIS is a great example I think of a way to keep kids interested in schooling. The only way it can work though is if the faculty and the community are willing to work their hardest and put in long hours. I have preached it time in and time out, but a hard working and motivated teacher is the only answer to a proper education. If done right, I can see this program doing exactly what it says... The only problem I have with this article is the number of teachers leaving areas because of students... I know some teachers are not cut out for inner city or tougher areas, but if you are unsure to begin with, don't get your feet wet. We don't need teachers giving up on children, because then they give up. All this talk about positive behavior and the teachers cannot be models for that? Grinds my gears... We want teachers pushing themselves to the limit, so then, maybe, just maybe, the students will work just as hard.
