End of Year SMARTR Outcome
By the end of the 2021-22 school year, Liberty Middle School will have improved our ability to clarify behavior expectations and support students in meeting those expectations by:
1. Reduce the amount of referrals per Black and Special Education students to .75. Doing so would have reduced the total amount of referrals to about 298, or .27 referrals per student.
2. We will also measure our ability to effectively respond to behavior infractions and supporting students in meeting our expectations by reducing the percent of the black population who received four or more referrals from 11% to 5% and the percent of the Special Education population who received 4 or more referrals from 13% to 5%.
Strategy 1
- Tier 1: Become a Restorative School by implementing year-one of a two-year phase-in of Restorative Practices, including community building circles and Restorative Justice conversations following student behavior incidents.
Strategy 2
- Tier 1: Emphasize Liberty’s “discipline with dignity” prerogative by providing professional learning for staff members that clarifies disciplinary steps and a toolbox of classroom management strategies including support for Special Education.
Strategy 3
- Tier 2: Utilize Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meetings to provide professional development about MTSS, office referral protocols, and classroom management.
Strategy 4
- Tier 3: To reduce referral recidivism, the school will utilize ESSER to provide small groups and individuals with time bound, specific, and data-monitored behavioral interventions.
