Plain Dealing Middle/Senior High School is using Best Behavior (Sprague & Golly, 2004) to develop PBS. Best Behavior is a staff development program that describes how to implement a school-wide positive discipline plan that includes needs assessment, implementation, and evaluation phases.
The following are key components of PBS as outlined in Best Behavior:
1. Expected behaviors for all school areas are clearly defined.
2. Expected behaviors for all school areas are systematically taught.
3. Problem behaviors are clearly defined.
4. Incentives and motivational systems are developed to recognize expected behavior.
5. Students are systematically supervised at school.
6. On-going training, assessment, and evaluation occur for staff members.
7. Systems are developed to measure and monitor the effectiveness of the intervention.
Plain Dealing Middle/Senior High School is committed to move from negative, punitive, reactive approaches to discipline to POSITIVE, PROACTIVE, PREVENTIVE approaches to discipline by developing PBS.

Plain Dealing Middle/High School selected as Model High School
Plain Dealing Middle/High School has been selected as one of 23 model high schools for 2008 by the International Center for Leadership in Education. The chosen schools will share their best practices at the 16th Annual Model Schools Conference, June 22-25 in Orlando. The Model Schools Conference is the nation’s premier event for K-12 education reform.
Each year, the Conference attracts thousands of educators, who come to learn about exemplary elementary, middle, high schools and career and technical education programs. Model schools are selected annually based on providing all students with a rigorous and relevant curriculum, personalized instruction, increased student learning time, parent and community involvement, use of data to make instructional decisions, and other best practices. Case studies prepared by the International Center on Plain Dealing Middle/High School and the other model high schools serve as a resource for educators and policymakers.
“We are delighted that this exceptional school will be sharing its best practices, which mirror the International Center’s mission of providing a rigorous and relevant education for all students,” said Willard R. Daggett, President of the International Center.
As a model school, Plain Dealing Middle/High School will become a member of the Successful Practices Network. Through the Network, Plain Dealing’s professional staff will exchange best instructional practices, successful methodologies, and peer support with other member schools.

PDMS 8th graders recently received scores from the EXPLORE test that was administered earlier in the school year. The purpose of the test is to let students know how well they perform against their peers. It is also an indicator of how well they are prepared for such tests as the ACT and LEAP. Several of our students did an outstanding job. Alexciya Green scored better than 94% of her peers in Reading and her composite score was 85% higher. Chantel Kinsey scored better than 93% of her peers in English and 85 % on composite score. Brittany Stanfield scored higher than 84% in Science.
