Classroom Support
Students that need additional support in language arts or math can receive this support during Panther Plus Time, which is offered Tuesday-Friday from 8-8:30 a.m. In addition, licensed language arts and math teachers meet with small groups of students to reteach and reinforce concepts. Panther Plus Time occurs during exploratory class, so students do not miss out on core instruction to receive assistance.
Classroom Management
The Love and Logic approach is a behavior management program that has been very effective in dealing with issues in the classroom. It neutralizes arguing, offers delayed consequences, shows empathy, and develops a positive teacher-student relationship. It’s a way to set enforceable limits that prevents power struggles and guide students to own and solve their problems. It has been a valuable tool for PACT’s teachers that allows them to enjoy time with their students!
To support our Love and Logic discipline philosophy, our Secondary program utilizes a School Discipline Support Room. The room is used as a tool for teachers and students to work out behavior issues after school. This allows students to stay in the classroom during the day, so they do not miss out on instruction. The room is staffed by a teacher and runs after school from 3:15-4:15 p.m., as needed.
