12. 12 School-wide Stoplight SystemTo monitor student behavior All students begin the day with a PBIS Powerkid slip Use this system if a student is not meeting behavior expectations for any area: Verbal warning (see prevention/ intervention ideas) Name written on warning list (chalk board or white board) make notation on Stoplight class chart – this travels to specialist teachers Move clip to yellow light- Loss of PBIS Powerkid slip-make notation on Stoplight chart (see prevention/ intervention ideas) Move Clip to red light- fill out discipline referral form (loss of recess to work on improving behavior- student to grade level PBIS monitor) make notation on Stoplight class chart If behaviors continue fill out a second referral form and send to office for Mrs. Grieve

14. 14 How to use the discipline referral form Write a referral when a student has been moved to the red light. If the behavior is a minor offense, the teacher will administer the consequences and send one copy to the office, send one copy home and keep one copy. If the behavior is a major offense or a second referral form for the day, the student needs to take the whole discipline referral form to the office. Administration consultation may be required, depending upon the behavior. A written record of the action taken will be returned to the teacher that day so the appropriate referral form copies can be sent home.

16. 16 Possible Consequences for not meeting behavior expectations Time out in the classroom-Use Choice thinking form Loss of recess to work on behaviors- contract, behavior plan or hassle log Buddy classroom Teacher conference-talk to the student Call parents Letter of apology Draw picture of problem behavior and possible solution. Get the student involved in choosing a good solution Restitution/clean up duty…Remember: try to fit the consequence with the behavior and consequences should come as soon as possible after the behavior! Restating/rewriting behavior expectations After school detention Note home (can have student write or draw this) Change seating arrangements Behavior contract Try to think through how you want the child to change. Keep your cool and be a role model of good behavior! If you are unable to do this…Ask for help!

17. 17 Prevention Ideas Proximity Proximity praise (praising another student nearby) Conference with teacher Have student restate rules and why that rule is important Removal to another area of the classroom Brief time out in the classroom (never put a child unattended in the hallway) Buddy helper Praise for meeting behavior expectations Behavior contract Have the student draw a picture of what the rule looks like and how he or she feels while following a rule Do not use sarcasm, threats or intimidation while using any of these techniques

19. 19 Oops….Problems!!!! If you have a child in your room who is struggling socially emotionally or academically (or all three) …. Always on the “RED” Referrals must be made to the SAP team (Student Assistance Program). Our team will work with you, the student and the parents to help that student succeed! *Anyone can refer a student to SAP

20. 20 PBIS Powerkids Each student begins the day with a Powerkid slip. Daily incentives may be earned for staying on the green light. Weekly incentives may be given to recognize green light behavior for the week Monthly PBIS Powerkid parties will be held for all students who stayed on yellow and green for the month (no referrals) “Out of the Blue” days will surprise students who have not had any discipline referrals for the week/month

23. 23 How does this translate into MS & HS?? 7/8th grade students as well as HS students will probably not work for a Powerkid slip…so we would adapt the elementary system to meet the needs of different grade levels. To develop a list of incentives—get the kids involved!! Ideas for MS/HS Incentives: **Front of lunch line pass **Homeroom Pass **Parking Pass **Season Pass to Fall/Winter/Spring events (one or all) **Activity Day **Cash **Gas Card
