Reinforcing Effort

Read and Reflect

Our program believes in giving positive reinforcement for behavior and academic efforts often in the classroom. Our goal is to encourage the student to believe they have the power to make positive changes in behavior and academics so they may return to their public school. When we encourage their effort and they see positive changes occurring they are more likely to handle challenging situations that come up in the school setting.

Sidney Poitier is successful due to perseverance, courage, integrity, and his passion. He took the criticism he received from others and turned this into a learning experience for himself. When he failed at his first acting experience he worked hard to make the corrections he needed to succeed. He never gave up and was willing to take the advice and help from others. I would use this poster to encourage students to give their best effort in class and be willing to ask for help from others.
