The Windsor behavior system is based on the need for each student to achieve his/her maximum social and emotional growth. Through positive reinforcement, our system helps students to become more aware of themselves, develop motivation to change their self-defeating behaviors, and learn better ways to conduct themselves in school. By combining the schools highly structured environment with positive behavior modification, Windsor allows students to know and understand what is expected of them and to achieve greater control over their behaviors.

Our behavior program utilizes different strategies to assist students in making both academic and behavioral changes. These strategies include:

• A point system to monitor and track behaviors, as well as reward students for academic and behavioral improvements.
• A level system that affords students the opportunity to earn greater privileges by directly reinforcing positive behaviors and recognizing their success.
• Weekly visits to the school store where students can redeem “earned points”.
