This document summarizes a webinar on leveraging PAX GBG (Good Behavior Game) strategies at the end of the school year. It provides examples of tools used in Title 1 schools to turn around classrooms, such as having students praise teachers or implementing home note programs. Charts show disruptions decreasing over time with PAX GBG implementation. The document also discusses using data to promote PAX and choosing appropriate graph types to visualize classroom data. Contact information is provided for PAX strategy, data, and materials support.
