Behavior Interventions at CCS 23-24
August 30th, 2023
What's new with Behavior Interventions at CCS?
We began piloting some new behavior intervention models here at CCS last year, and have begun solidifying work that we have found to be helpful when we support students behaviorally, academically, and social-emotionally here at school. Below you will see the flow chart that we use to filter out behavior, as well as different forms that we use to collect data for both minor and major behaviors.
While these forms are used with students K-8 to collect data, age and situationally appropriate interventions are used for each individual student.
Parents should be hearing from teachers regularly if there is behavior that is consistently being addressed. As usual, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns that you may have.

Class Rules
Based on The Thoughtful Classroom, "Rules to Live and Learn By"
For the past two years, all teachers have worked with each of their classes to establish a list of behavioral guidelines that promote a positive learning environment.
We have two rules that we've set for all classrooms to follow:
RULE 1: Be the best student you can be, and learn as much as possible.
RULE 2: Make the classroom a good place for everyone to live and learn in.
It is then up to the teacher to work with their students to define what these rules will look like in their learning environments. This process allows students to be involved in the process of establishing classroom rules and guidelines. These rules will be posted in all classrooms throughout the year, and will be referred to often throughout their day. Take a peak in your child's classroom(s) during The Back to School BBQ to see what they have helped to create.
CARES
The New Hampshire Department of Education, in conjunction with teachers, administrators, educational researchers, accreditation organizations, and education foundation partners, has adopted a set of standards to assess students on non-academic skills that are important to master in order to be successful in life after high school. Work-Study Practices (WSP) are those behaviors that enhance learning achievement and promote a positive work ethic such as, but not limited to, listening and following directions, accepting responsibly, staying on task, completing work accurately, managing time wisely, showing initiative, being empathetic of others, and being cooperative.These work study practices include: Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-Regulation. (C.A.R.E.S.) The specific skills addressed under each of these work study practices include but are not limited to:
Cooperation:
Student can work collaboratively
Assertion:
Student can work independently
Student seeks help when needed
Responsibility:
Student completes work on time
Student completes quality work/neatness
Student can follows school rules
Empathy:
Student shows respect for others and property
Self-Regulation/Control:
Student follows classroom directions
Student stays on task
The CARES work study practices will be reported on for each student throughout the school year by all instructional staff who work with that student. Students will be expected to exhibit these practices and will be assessed on the CARES work-study practices.
CARES and After-School Activities and Sports
Academic Eligibility
(For Sports as well as any Extra-Curricular Activity)
Students are expected to maintain a good academic average and work to the best of their ability. Students who receive a Beginning or Insufficient Evidence on a C.A.R.E.S./Work Study Practice will be placed on probation until a Progressing grade is achieved. The dates used will be at the middle (15th) and end of the month. The probation will be for a period of two weeks at which time the student will be re-evaluated. If a Progressing competency grade or higher in CARES has been achieved, he/she may return to the sport or activity. During probation a student cannot attend a practice or participate in the games.
