POWER for Learning
POWER for Learning "aims to provide a positive school climate and to create a supportive environment for personal, social, and academic growth for students and staff. In other words, the school-wide plan is essentially an instrument to enable the goals of the school to be achieved, especially the goals of student achievement." (Positive Behaviour for Learning, 2015 Overview, Colvin, 2007, p.10)
