The Behavior Enrichment Center (BEC) will employ an approach that will provide a framework for understanding the student’s individual difficulties, as well as strategies or procedures to follow for resolving them. The strategies or procedures used will share a common quality that will assist the individual student in understanding that each person is responsible for the results of their actions and their choices.
The Behavior Enrichment Center will not be just PUNITIVE in nature; it (BEC) will hold students accountable for their actions while in school and/or on school related activities off campus. It is very important that the BEC, Dillard Academy Charter School, Castles 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) and Dillard Academy Early Learning Center support a common emphasis on consistency, positive and constructive supervision, and ensuring that the student(s) understand the difference between positive and negative behavior. There also must be behavior modification plans that will include implementation, follow-up and parental involvement (Morris and Howard 2001).
