Mr. Gibbs SLC-B

Phil Gibbs

The George Middle School SLCB program has existed here for 21 years. In this program, run by myself Ms. Bessette.  It involves consistent management strategies and methods of accountability/ tracking of students’ daily progress. Students are afforded an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and take responsibility for them. Students are on a 4-tiered level system, with their inclusion in mainstream classes dependent on their level. For instance, a student on level 4 will fully attend all mainstream classes. A student on level 1 will receive one on one counseling and a minimum amount of privileges until the student makes things right.

The SLC-B program exudes a family ethos, and we strive to assist students and encourage them to make independent, sound, and appropriate choices throughout the day. The SLC-B classroom is students “home”, a safe secure warm and welcoming place where students are also held accountable.

 

If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me here.
