    Washington Middle School

    Strategic Learning Center (SLC)

    Based on: The Boys Town Education Model

    The Strategic Learning Center (SLC) creates a positive learning environment that encourages productive student behavior. It is an effective classroom that uses the management practices that help students acquire the necessary skills to think and problem-solve, accept responsibility with regard to rules, limits, and the needs of others, and develop a positive self-image.

    Five major factors that are correlated to make the classroom management in this program effective include:

    • Understanding the needs of students.
    • Strong positive teacher-student and peer relationships.
    • Instructional methods that motivate students.
    • Organizational and group management techniques that maximize students “on-task” behavior.
    • Problem-solving and behavior management techniques that empower students to assume responsibility for managing their own behavior.
  • The components used in our program include social skills curriculum, teaching interactions, motivation systems, and administrative intervention.  The components help students learn productive ways of managing their own behavior and interacting with others. The program combines the best of skill-based teaching with care and concern, resulting in improvements in students’ behavior, self-esteem, and relationships with others.
