The Weaver Way is a research-based standard of practice for the Weaver Lake Community which includes students, staff, and families that best supports academic, social, and emotional development for all. The Weaver Way drives our actions and decisions, supports academic, social, and emotional growth, and builds a positive community.
Weaver Lake uses Responsive Classroom and the Positive Behavior Intervention Systems to teach and reinforce behavior expectations
to foster the following outcomes:
- Increase social skills and academic engagement.
- Increase learner investment and independence.
- Establish a positive school-wide climate.
- Decrease inappropriate behavior.
Weaver Way Expectations:
Positive behavioral expectations are guidelines and routines that are taught in order to encourage appropriate behavior and prevent inappropriate behavior. A school’s behavioral expectations form the building blocks for a positive school environment that is conducive to student achievement. The Weaver Way expectations are:
- BE RESPECTFUL
- BE RESPONSIBLE
- BE READY
Expectation lessons are explicitly taught to help students learn what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like to be respectful, responsible, and ready. Posters with the Weaver Way expectations are used as visual tools to help students learn and follow these expectations.
