1. Welcome Back Faculty Meeting - 2009 Put your school mascot or logo on this page

2. Some of you felt like this last year:

4. I even saw some of this last year….

5. We had some behavior concerns last year: Insert your data here

6. So we’re going to do something new:

7. Well, what do you think of when you think of kids being disrespectful? You’ll put the opposite of your 3-5 behavioral expectations in here- if respect is one of your 3-5 – then the opposite would be disrespect.

10. Well, what do you think of when you think of kids being not responsible?

13. Well, what do you think of when you think of kids being unsafe?

16. Well, what do you think of when you think of kids being unprepared?

19. Well, what would it look like if kids were respectful?

22. Well, what would it look like if kids were responsible?

25. What would it look like if kids were safe?

28. What would it look like if kids were prepared?

31. Research says we have to: Teach Model Practice Praise If we want to see changes in behavior. If we always do what we have always done…we’ll always get what we always got.

32. Based on the work of Sugai & Horner 2005- Pyramid by Riffel 2006

33. YEAH….but I need to teach academics!!!!!!

34. Does Improving School-wide Positive Behavior Support Affect Academic Outcomes?

35. School-wide Behavior Systems in Place School-wide Behavior Systems NOT in place Literacy Interventions in Place Literacy Interventions NOT in Place Teaching & Behavior (Kellem et al.) NO Literacy Improvement NO Literacy Improvement NO Literacy Improvement Literacy Improvement Message Teach to read well in effective “host environments”

36. Message “Pupil achievements and behavior [mental health] can be influenced (for the better or worse) by the overall characteristics of the school….this means a focus on the features promoting good functioning at the classroom, departmental or whole school level.” Rutter & Maughan, 2002, pp. 470-471

37. Carnegie Council Task Force on Education of Young Adolescents: “School systems are not responsible for meeting every need of their students. But when the need directly affects learning, the school must meet the challenge.”

38. How are we going to do both here?

39. What is a code of conduct???????

40. That’s why this year we aren’t going to just say follow the code…

41. Respectful, Responsible, Safe & Prepared We’ve developed four behavioral expectations: –Positively stated –Easy to remember –The code of conduct will remind them what they are All the kids will be able to tell: –What the expectations are –Give an example of what each means in different settings

42. Miss Moxie Liked to Go Over a Few of her rules... No talking No running No sneezing No betting No looking out the window No dorky hairstyles No coughing No laughing No fighting No swearing No sleeping No being a dork No making fun of teacher No flipping of fingers No drugs No weapons No bringing animals to school No looking at the clock No looking out the window No stupid remarks No coming in late No coming in early No humming No gum chewing No gum popping No sneering No spitting No farting No whistling No rolling your eyes No clicking of teeth No moving of feet under desk No fainting No sickness No going to the bathroom off schedule No crying No snot sucking No talking No running No sneezing No betting No looking out the window No dorky hairstyles No coughing No laughing No fighting No swearing No sleeping No being a dork No making fun of teacher No flipping of fingers No drugs No weapons No bringing animals to school No looking at the clock No looking out the window No stupid remarks

43. How will we ensure fidelity? We’re making a video to show the kids the right way to follow the code of conduct. Teachers will teach what those four expectations look like in each of the areas of the school. Parents will be told what the Code means. We’ll teach it, model it, give the kids opportunity to practice it and….

44. Most Important We will catch them being good instead of ….

45. Hmmmmmm…………

46. Schools typically see a 60-80% reduction after 3 years of implementation- some see it sooner.

47. ODR Administrative. Benefit 2001-2002 2277 2002-2003 1322 = 955 42% improvement = 14,325 min. @15 min. = 238.75 hrs = 40 days Administrative time that can now be spent dealing with children positively instead of reactively dealing with behaviors that occurred.

48. ODR Instructional Benefit 2001-2002 2277 2002-2003 1322 = 955 42% improvement = 42,975 min. @ 45 min. = 716.25 hrs = 119 days Instructional time gained by students who were not out of the class being dealt with.

49. “We found some minutes?” After reducing their office discipline referrals from 400 to 100, students requiring individualized, specialized behavior intervention plans decreased from 35 to 6.

50. Office Discipline Referrals Go Down CRCT Scores Go UP

60. How will we teach the kids????

61. Expectations & behavioral skills are taught & recognized in natural context

62. Monitoring Dismissal McCormick Elementary School, MD

63. Acknowledge & Recognize

64. Kids want two things…. To GET 1.Attention from: 1.Adults 2.Peers 2.Access to materials 3.Sensory Input To GET OUT of: 1.Work 2.Interactions 3.Sensory Overload 4.Painful situations

65. How can we give kids more attention? By pointing out what they are doing correctly: –4 strokes for every poke –Teaches kids what we are looking for in behavior –When we point out what they are doing wrong we are teaching others how to get our attention

66. “GOTCHA following the CODE”

67. Examples: Billy Bob, I love the way you showed respect by taking off your hat when you entered the building. I am proud of you. Susie Mae, I love the way you showed accountability by bringing your signed permission slip back a day early. I can count on you. Fannie Mae, I love the way you showed dependability by stopping to help a Kindergartener who was lost. I can depend on you.

68. You don’t give “GOTCHAS” to your own kids- except when you are teaching the rules and giving examples….

69. We’re not giving away bicycles… Kids don’t really want tangible Praises…of course they are nice…but they really want attention so here’s what we’ve come up with so far…..

70. Drawings Put in your ideas here

71. INSTANT WINNERS Substitute teachers will have a special (different color) “GOTCHA” to give out. They will look at class and determine someone who has been exemplar that day. When they give out the “GOTCHA” it is an instant pass to the office for a good thing. The child will get to be an office helper for someone in the office and get lots of attention for being exemplar.

72. Classroom Praises Tallies will be kept on number of gotchas received by each grade level. The grade level with the biggest number of gotchas per month will get a special sign outside their doors. Teachers can Praise their classes any way they choose for this honor: –Extra reading time –Bedroom slipper day –Extra drawing time –Friday Fun Math Day –Etc.

73. Gotchas aren’t just for kids….. Each week adult names will be drawn for “tangibles” AND ESCAPE (We want tangibles) –Long lunch –Prizes –Jean week –Leave early pass –Trade jobs with the principal for the day

74. Your Mission….
