Of the many amazing student programs at Baker, the nomination highlighted that their school community practices and models PBIS (Positive Behavior Incentive System) by focusing on a positive school culture rather than a punitive structure, Principal Chris Barbara writes a weekly “Just Be Nice” message to help strengthen UPstander skills in students, and students participate in leadership opportunities from a young age that include second grade “Big Buddies” to kindergarten students, Special Day Class (SDC) “Big Buddies” to younger SDC students and junior yard duties who learn peaceful conflict resolution skills.  In addition, Baker’s ABC (Asset Building Champion) Reading program includes 28 adult volunteers reading to 94% of the students annually for almost 12 years.  ABC Reading is Project Cornerstone’s parent engagement program that trains adult volunteers to read a specially selected book and lead related activities in the classroom to help students and school communities build a common language about student respect and behavior expectations.

  • 10:24 Walking a Mile in Their Shoes ~ A Poverty Simulation Featured

    On August 12, 2016, over 70 Moreland School District staff members, as well as Superintendent Bob Bravo of CUHSD, participated in a poverty simulation facilitated by Step Up Silicon Valley. All participants were given an identity as they “walked a mile” trying to survive one month as a family member or individual living in poverty in Silicon Valley. The goal of the event is to shine a spotlight on humanity: the quality that makes us human, such as the ability to love, have compassion or be creative.
