Edisto High School is helping all students develop the world class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by…
- Implementing a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports process we have defined by the acronym E.D.I.S.T.O.:
E- Engagement- We expect students to actively listen, ask questions, complete assignments, and research/interact with content outside of the classroom.
D - Determination- We want our students to acquire self-determination in order to seek out and use resources to achieve independence.
I - Integrity- We all agree it is important to keep strong morals by taking ownership of our learning and actions.
S - Strength- We expect students to use their inner strength to voice for the good of themselves and others, but more importantly, to their strength to MODEL expectations that would make themselves, as well as you as their parents, very proud.
T- Teamwork- In this world, whether one is in college and/or the workforce, there are others with whom we must to be able to collaborate and work to accomplish tasks effectively.
O- Ownership- We want students to own their words and actions.
- Implementing a Positive Behavioral/Academic Supports System has enhanced the learning in our school by creating a culture of leaders committed to promoting a positive learning environment. The PBIS process embedded school-wide expectations, common language, and the belief system that allowed us to provide a safe, caring environment that develops strong relationships with all stakeholders and practices a “student first” mindset, while providing ongoing training for teachers on how to create and deliver a rigorous curriculum that makes learning relevant for all.
- Implementing an E.D.I.S.T.O. Intervention “E” Block where all students have the opportunity to receive intervention for academics (Monday-Thursday) and behavior (Friday) during our rotating intervention block. Students who are proficient in their academics and behavior will enjoy an extended lunch as long as school-wide expectations are met.
