5 Point Scale for Voice Volume

Just recently, all the classrooms at Grainwood added new, uniformed 5 Point Scale posters to their work environments.  The scale, used throughout the building, helps provide a visual connection between student behavior expectations and their voice volume.  Teachers have instructed students about the different levels and provided examples, which supports a common language for all staff members to remind and enforce appropriate volume throughout the building.  This initiative is another component of Grainwood's PBIS (Positive Behavorial Intervention Systems) Initiative.
