Another excellent school-wide program for improving general social
skills in the school community is "Best: Building Effective
Schools Together." The program was designed by the staff
at the University of Oregon. It features positive reinforcements
of simple rules in all settings of the campus. The information
provided by the manual is a platform from which individual schools
can design their own program. The systems are monitored and adjusted
by disciplinary data collected by the office staff.
