Allison Mears helped DeQueen Primary develop their ‘Rewards and Recognition program’ for their school’s positive behavior system. Last year, DPS developed their PAWS behavior expectations and today they added another component to their system! Developing schoolwide behavior supports can be an overwhelming task but the Arkansas Behavior Support Specialists can help facilitate the process in your building. #thinkcoop1st.
