Buckland Mills Elementary: Lora Schalow ESD Coach, First Grade Teacher: Robin Hudspeth Guidance Counselor Liz Johnson First Grade Teacher Introduction:

Assess everything that needs to be done.

Do you need a behavior change? Survey the administration, staff and students. Assess the existing behavior within the building by making a triangle for your school, both academically and behaviorally. Will you have staff “buy in”

Make an Outline Utilizing the BOQ’s is a great way to keep on track throughout the process.

Create Effective Teams:  Make a “Who’s Who” in your school:  ESD team  Social workers  Special Education Team  Guidance Counselors  School Psychologist  Teachers with known “good” behavior classrooms

Teaming Structure: Is everyone familiar with the BOQ’s? Is there a continuous fidelity check? How do you hold people accountable for processes?

How to involve everyone - without too much involvement…

Major infractions:Minor infractions: Have teams work together to decide what behaviors should be classroom managed vs. administration managed

Communication: Parents Back to school night, brochures, parent handbook Publish information on the website Staff Monthly meetings, precise agendas for meetings, staff handbook Conduct staff development sessions to familiarize all parties with the program Students Matrixes visible and taught Area paws charts Demonstrating correct behaviors Assemblies (recurring)

Stick to your policies “Fair is not always equal” Create a reward system (intrinsic/extrinsic/low cost Create a reward system (intrinsic/extrinsic/low cost Develop a “tracking system” for the rewards Create a reward committee for students and staff Create lesson plans or use existing ones Create or use a developed system to track all school behavior to be able to compare data

Bad Breaks:  Sometimes you just have a student or combination of students that do not respond to the “typical” redirection in the day to day teaching of student expected behaviors.  Use other schools suggestions for classroom implementation lessons as well as create your school’s own videos or pledge to involve the staff and students in the process.
