The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology-Antigua and Barbuda is moving ahead with work towards making the implementation of Positive Behaviour Management (PBM) practices a reality in the nation\u2019s schools.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A working session that included students, principals, teachers, counsellors and the Antigua and Barbuda Union of Teachers was held this week. Participants were updated about benchmarks schools have made since the observance of PBM Day on 21st<\/sup> of February 2019, which include the establishment of school expectations and codes of behaviour for various settings on the school compound, the setting up of PBM teams and a review of PBM strategies which were shared with schools on PBM Day.<\/p>\n

According to officials, several schools have completed at least 75% of the benchmarks.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Director of Education, Clare Browne, in making brief remarks made a clarion call for all stakeholders to put their hands and voices together to make PBM implementation in schools a success since ultimately, students will be the beneficiaries. Education Officer-Guidance Counselling and Health and Family Life Education, Andrea Airall in pointing out how PBM is interrelated with various initiatives of the Ministry, encouraged participants to view the programme as a structure, a system, a framework and a skill-set not only for school but for life. Early Childhood Education Officer-Embler Spencer emphasized the critical importance of not just using PBM to curb bad or undesirable behaviours but instead, using it to promote good behaviour, in the first place.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The working session also heard from Alma Jenkins-Acosta, a UNICEF Representative and Desiree Antonio- Education Officer and CFS Focal Point, who sought agreement from the body for a cross section of persons to be part of a National PBM Action Group that will work on specific tasks to include: training in PBM, developing PBM materials, and monitoring and evaluation of PBM.<\/p>\n

PBM is an approach to discipline that focuses on guiding students\u2019 behavior, while paying attention to their emotional and psychological needs.<\/p>
