Workshop 1 Term 1 2017 - PB4L booster

Welcome all to the PB4L Booster Presentation

My name is Lou Reddy and I am the Deputy Principal at Wesley Intermediate School. I hope that I can support your team today by providing a booster for the 7 essential features.  I really believe in the Growth Mindset (Carol Dweck) and I think that PB4L is all about having a growth mindset about students, staff and our families. The mindset we need to have is that we are all trying to understand a new way to approach the learning of positive behaviour and we have to start somewhere. Its like when we have to learn our timestables, some people are a little further along in their 8 times than I am (its the one I struggle with the most for some reason). 

Change around PB4L within our schools can often seem like trying to eat an elephant - and what is the best way to eat an elephant?  

You guessed it "one bite at a time". 

Please refer to this blog for the presentation Slides and other useful resources that I will share today.
