  3. Purpose To review critical features & essential practices of active supervision

  4. Examples An elementary school principal found that over 45% of their behavioral incident reports were coming from the playground.

  5. High school assistant principal reports that over 2/3 of behavior incident reports come from “four corners.”

  6. A middle school secretary reported that she was getting at least one neighborhood complaint daily about student behavior on & off school grounds.

  7. An high school nurse lamented that “too many students were asking to use her restroom” during class transitions.

  8. At least 2 times/month, police are called to settle arguments by parents & their children in parking lot

  10. Nonclassroom Settings • Particular times or places where supervision is emphasized • Cafeteria, hallways, playgrounds, bathrooms • Buses & bus loading zones, parking lots • Study halls, library, “free time” • Assemblies, sporting events, dances • Where instruction is not available as behavior management tool

  14. Basics “Supervision Self-Assessment” YES or NO

  15. Did I have at least 4 positive for each negative student contact? • Have more positive student contacts than negative • Use variety of contact forms

  16. ~10 positive : 1 correction

  17. Did I move continuously throughout area? • Obvious • Positive • Interactive • Unpredictable

  18. Did I scan frequently ? • Head up • Make eye contact • Overt body position

  19. Did I positively interact with most students? • Variety of interaction types • Social positives & SW acknowledgements • Variety of students • Quick • Noticeable • Publicly appropriate

  20. “Good morning, class!” Teachers report that when students are greeted by an adult in morning, it takes less time to complete morning routines & get first lesson started.

  21. Did I handle minor rule violations efficiently? • Quickly • Privately • Neutrally • Follow-up with positive • Follow-up

  22. Did I follow school-wide procedures for handling major rule violations? • Quick • By the book • Business like • Disengage • Precorrect for next occurrence

  23. Considerations • What are “costs” of compliance? • Can I follow-through with consequences? • Have I taught & reinforced compliance? Disengage quickly

  24. Do I know my school-wide expectations? • Positively stated • Small in number • Easy • Comprehensive • Defined

  25. Did I positively acknowledge at least 5 different students for displays of SW expectations? • Individualized • Informative • Sincere

  26. “Readers’ Digest” Guide • 7-8 “yes” = Super Supervision • 5-6 “yes” = So-So Supervision • <5 “yes” = Improvement Needed

  27. Why does everyone need to be involved? • Staff outnumbered • Adult presence • Prompts desired behavior • Deters problem behavior • “Being a good citizen” • Contribute to school climate
