  • Do you teach basic personal, emotional, behavioral, and social skills (PEBS) to all students K-12?
  • Do your students learn the 21st Century Skill scaffolding developmentally, K-12.
  • Does staff support, participate, and implement those skills taught?
  • Do you include self-talk, self-picture, relaxation, brain integration, and sensory activities for all students?
  • Do you have a positive behavior plan for all students?
  • Does your staff participate in personal and professional growth plans?
  • Do you include family involvement in the process?
  • Do you have an inviting school climate plan?
  • Do you evaluate and use diagnostic assessments to guide your student (PEBS) skill progress every year?
  • Do you prioritize working with the Whole student?
  • Do you avoid being focused on academics and testing to the detriment of empowering the whole student?
  • Do you prioritize your professional time working with all students, staff, and families?
  • Do you have a reasonable ratio of school ADM to professionals in your school district and school?

      What Did You Discover From Your Self-Assessments?

      Overview of the System School Safety Formula

    • Comprehensive School Counseling Program System – Program Components Are Interrelated and Interactive
    • Guidance System is the Foundation of the School Counseling Program
    • Crisis Plan
    • School Safety

      Schools, families, and communities can break the cycle and help students develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when:

    • they feel connected with the schooling process
    • they feel comfortable being in a classroom
    • student–teacher and student–student relationships are viewed as a major factor in student safety
    • students see peers as someone to help and not someone to “beat”
    • students have learned the personal, social, emotional, and behavioral skills needed to communicate and belong
    • The whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts. — Tommie R. Radd, Ph.D.
