Steps to Develop the PLUS Program

Step 1:

Establish a Team of Staff Members to Serve as Oversight

For any program development to be successful there must be a strong team of staff members dedicated to the implementation of the strategies.  The first step in establishing the PLUS Program is to identify a team of staff members who will be responsible for the day to day operation of PLUS.  A PLUS Staff team should consist of 3-5 staff members.  We recommend:

  1. An Administrator who is responsible for Safe Schools Plans, PBIS/MTSS, LCAP, and/or School Climate.
  2. Counselors who might be part of the PBIS/MTSS and SEL efforts.
  3. A Teacher who will be the Class Advisor and works hands on with the students selected to be the PLUS Team.
    1. This could be the Activity Director with the right modifications to the youth leadership department structure.
  4. Other staff members who have been part of the PLUS Staff Team, included:
    1. School Resource Officer
    2. Coaches and Athletic Director
    3. Campus Security
    4. Multi-Media and Art Department Staff

The identified staff members will attend the PLUS Certified Trainers Course.

Step 2:
