"It's good to see you today!"
"You have your homework? Good. Let's get started..."
"Thank you; that was so kind."
"It's a good thing you were there to help."
These are just a few of the things you'll hear so many of our teachers say every day -- not just in the classroom but in the hallways, as well."
Why? "Because here at LCCTC, we are HERE, we are READY, we are RESPECTFUL, and we are SAFE." By now, even our sophomores can say this because we hear it every morning and afternoon on the announcements, we see it on posters throughout the school, and we are reminded of it in the way we conduct ourselves every day -- no matter where we are.
School Wide Positive Behavior (SWPB) is a school of thought that LCCTC students and staff have adopted, and it makes our little place on the planet a pretty nice to be.
Why would we want to do this? Well -- there is a lot of good in being GOOD!
The benefit? Each day, randomly-selected teachers are given 4 or 5 tickets to pass out to students who they catch being good. On each ticket, teachers circle the reason: HERE, READY, RESPECTFUL, and SAFE.
At the end of the day, students with tickets are called down, and their names are put on a SWPB board for the entire school to see. When a row of 10 students accumulate, those students are called to the office -- all for being good. They each receive the coveted "Milanivich buck," redeemable in the cafeteria for special treats.
A special drawing is made from those 10 students and the winner receives a coupon for a free SWPB incentive trip (the movies / a hockey game / ice skating / baseball game) or a Dunkin' Donut coffee.
The teacher who distributed the ticket gets a "Rich buck" REDEEMABLE with a little comp time.
See? There IS a benefit to making good choices -- in doing the right thing!
