Statewide Reach for Local Impact

FIND IT FUND IT FLORIDA

Establish a student arcade and social regulation room by November to provide a positive outlet for students to engage in recreational activities while practicing social skills and self-regulation. Convert an unused room into an arcade space equipped with socially interactive games and areas for reflection and self-regulation. Collaborate with school staff, local businesses, and donors to gather resources and support for the project. The room will enhance students' social skills, offer a positive behavioral incentive, and provide a space for self-regulation, aligning with our PBIS goals.

Students will gain PBIS currency to buy access to the game room and self-regulation area. Students are awarded BPA Bucks for positive behavior following classroom procedures and following school-wide procedures.

Our school has a Behavior unit, with students with trouble in regulating their behaviors. These students will have access to the room every Friday based on their point sheets.

What will be done with my students

The arcade and self-regulation room at BPA will provide students with a dedicated space to engage in positive, social activities while practicing self-regulation skills. This room will serve as a behavioral incentive, encouraging positive interactions and offering students a way to manage stress and emotions in a constructive environment.

The room aligns with the principles of Gurian Training for single-gender education by addressing the different ways boys and girls learn and socialize. By offering tailored activities that resonate with each gender, the space will enhance students' social and emotional development, supporting their overall academic and personal growth.

 

 

Benefits to my students

The arcade and self-regulation room will lead to improved student outcomes by fostering social skills, enhancing emotional self-regulation, and providing a positive outlet for stress relief. Students will experience increased engagement, better peer interactions, and a more supportive environment for personal growth, contributing to a well-rounded development.

The outcomes should limit office referrals by 20 percent.
