1. Building Cafeteria Solutions June 30, 2011 Mary Beth Anderson, Coates ES Mandy Freeman, PBIS Curriculum Resource Teacher Virginia Hulke, Island Creek ES Sue King, Chesterbrook ES Calm in the Cafeteria: It is Possible!

2. Cafeterias Are a Challenge: Number of students Typically a low ratio of supervision Unstructured time Transitions Noise level Time

3. Cafeteria: Factors to Consider Prevention Routines Organization/structure Supervision Schedule Teaching Realistic expectation/rules Students, staff, and parents Lessons/activities Frequency Who is responsible Acknowledgement Class or individual Type Frequency Variety Extinction What behavior(s) compete? How can we work to reduce them? 3

4. Cafeteria: Factors to Consider Data Collection Identification What will be measured System for data collection Who When Where 4 Reductive Consequences Hierarchy (no more than 3 steps) Includes re-teaching Training Students, staff, and parents

5. Activity: Solution Development Think about the current interventions in place for your cafeteria.

6. School Examples Chesterbrook Elementary School Coates Elementary School Island Creek Elementary School

7. Rock Star Manners!

8. Where we started… WHAT WORKED IN THE BEGINNING: *New school in 2009, cafeteria focus was on five manner expectations *Center pieces/stars for each class (3 tables) *Developed school wide game board *School/class based goals PROBLEMS: *Not specific for each table *Functional but high maintenance program *After one year, teachers didn’t track/motivate *Too many monitors involved (teacher, host, cashier)

9. Where we started… Prevention 5 stars-earning from each person Tracking Cafeteria Staff Teaching Smartboard Lessons Visits Assemblies News Show Acknowledgement 100 stars Class Party School wide Reward

10. 2010-2011 Cafeteria Program Staff who worked in the cafeteria (IA’s) approached PBIS about making some small changes that would lessen the workload for staff. In addition, it would be more specific for student feedback. PBIS Team brainstormed…. And rollout assembly and implementation followed.

11. New Cafeteria Program Rollout 1. Rollout student made video at assembly (teaching) 2. Play interactive Jeopardy as a school at assembly (teaching) 3. Teachers review PPT lesson day before starts Teachers have access to Jeopardy game (teaching) 4. Rollout and follow through by staff 5. Staff members use news show DAILY to announce who made three stars, and reached goals. (acknowledgement) 6. Class/School creates appropriate celebrations when they have reached milestones. (acknowledgement)

12. What made it work… Classroom review Rock Star student video Rock Star Jeopardy Daily News Show Celebration Tracking in the cafeteria

17. Tracking in the Cafeteria (Acknowledgement) Class photo for every room Bar graphs track stars earned Wall of Fame

18. Consequences Hierarchy Verbal Warning Think Sheet Silent Lunch Referral

19. Intervention Areas What changes can be made in the current system?

20. Prevention Unsafe physical arrangements are eliminated or adjusted. Routine permits orderly flow: Entry Food pickup Movement to table Cleanup Exit Space occupied by students is maximized Wait time is minimized Congestion is absent or minimized

21. Teaching Lessons are taught in context Multiple examples and non-examples are provided Teachers model, practice, and review with students School-wide lessons are taught throughout the year aligned with the Action Plan http://vimeo.com/20955727

22. Acknowledgement System in place Simple and efficient Staff and students trained

23. Reductive Consequences Hierarchy (no more than 3 steps) Training (Staff, Students, Parents)

24. Data Collection How will progress be monitored?

25. Fidelity of Implementation Action Plan Annual plan developed and implemented Staff is trained and retrained as needed Assessment Methods Walk-throughs Checklists Self assessments

26. Activity: Solution Development Revisit the current interventions in place for your cafeteria and select areas for revision.

27. Next steps: Conduct this activity with your PBIS team as you plan for the 2011-2012 school year.

28. Final thought: PBIS will sustain if it remains: A PRIORITY for faculty, staff, and administrators EFFECTIVE for all students EFFICIENT for school personnel ADAPTIVE to change -Kent McIntosh
