Success Stories

KOI Education helped Rio Vista come together as a community to form a PBIS leadership team and create school-wide expectations. With consistent agreed-upon expectations came the plan for a teaching and lesson plan system and an accountability system for equitable discipline. The consistent school-wide language, practices, and process for improving student behavior brought the school staff together. Working together helped build a positive school culture that is believed in by staff and students. Parents love it because students are achieving success and receiving additional support when needed.

KOI Education provided training and support to the Laveen Elementary School District transportation department by helping them implement a Positive Bus Safety System (PBSS). We provided initial training to a tranportation leadership team that included administrators and drivers during a 2-day workshop prior to the beginning of the school year. Together, we customized the PBSS bus expectations, reinforcement system, and accountability system to be used by all drivers and monitors. At the beginning of the new school year, the transportation team and KOI Education trainers presented PBSS and trained staff during a 4-hour workshop. The workshop included an overview of PBIS, practice using the Bus Expectations and lesson plans to teach students, practice handing out positive bus tickets to students meeting expectations, and using case studies to learn to hold students accountable consistently by completing a bus referrals. With the support of KOI Education, the transportation Supervisor has since conducted additional trainings for the staff and is an active member of the district-wide PBIS Team presenting data regularly to improve school climate and community relations.

In a community with high expectations of school administrators, educators and students, success is expected. The entire district, including a strong district team led by the superintendents, partnered with KOI Education to launch a multi-year sustainable PBIS initative. Through guidance and support from our expert trainers and coaches, input from the school community including all staff and families, district-wide Expectations were discussed and voted on. All of the schools, including a newly-built one, rolled-out their complete PBIS system at the same time. As a result, all staff and students could state the expectations and explain why they received reinforcement. Fidelity assessment, climate surveys, and multiple sources of data are used to ensure every school and every student succeeds at QCUSD.
