Positive Behavioral Supports (PBS) Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a process of proactive school discipline where valued behaviors are taught, modeled, practiced and encouraged for all students and staff. PBS is a shift from more traditional models of discipline in schools, where behaviors are typically addressed only after they become problematic. PBS has gained national recognition as a way to foster a positive school climate. As a result, schools experience less disruptive behaviors and greater academic success. School-wide PBS integrates determined outcomes, behavioral science, research-proven practices, and systems change as a way to prevent the development and intensifying of problem behaviors, thus maximizing academic success for all students.

Philadelphians United to Support Public Schools consists of a broad coalition of the City's public education stakeholders and advocates. The organizations that form this coalition stand firmly together on the belief that the current system of public education is inadequate and that the privatization of our schools is not an acceptable solution to improving the situation. We join together to fight for a new system of public education, one in which current funding injustices are rectified and quality public schools, particularly in poor and urban areas, are established.

The
Picasso Project was created to reach out to people to support more opportunities
for all our children to learn by advocating for more funds for our schools
generally and for increased educational opportunities through the arts for our
children and to promote and support education in Philadelphia’s public schools
and to provide experiences in and exposure to the arts that children otherwise
would not have. The project will raise and distribute funds for arts expenses in
schools while building a public education constituency of well-informed citizens
who will advocate for equitable school funding. All children should receive a
high quality and comprehensive education. Your contribution will help to
enrich the learning environment of Philadelphia’s children and offer them
opportunities in the arts. To find out more, call PCCY at 215-563-5848.
This
is a checklist to help evaluate our schools and determine whether they have the
basics required to provide our children with an adequate education. Use
this checklist to review the schools in your community; your findings can be a
starting point for needed improvement. We invite you to share the results
of your survey with us, so that we can report to the community about the assets
and liabilities of our school system. You can fax or mail a copy of your
survey to us at the address listed. If you would like more information on
how to become involved in this project, contact Sheila Simmons, Education
Coordinator at PCCY at 215-563-5848
