3. MO SW-PBS Classroom Module • The notes on Slide 13, the list of Effective Classroom Practices, are based on a school that has already addressed the first four effective classroom practices in non-classroom settings such as the hallway, cafeteria, etc. Edit the notes to be relevant to what your school has implemented at this point in time. • Delete this slide before beginning your session.

4. An Overview: Effective Classroom Practices MO SW-PBS

5. Outcomes At the end of the session, you will be able to… • Explain to others the power of positive and proactive strategies in establishing an effective classroom learning environment. • Describe the eight Effective Classroom Practices. MO SW-PBS

6. “When teachers know and use positive and preventative management strategies, many of the commonly reported minor classroom behaviors can be avoided.” Scheuermann & Hall, 2008 “Effective classroom management is a key component of effective instruction, regardless of grade level, subject, pedagogy or curriculum.” Sprick, Knight, Reinke & McKale, 2006 MO SW-PBS

7. Three Levels of Implementation A Continuum of Support for All Academic Systems Behavioral Systems • Tier Three • Individual Students • Assessment-based • Intense, durable procedures • Tier Three • Individual Students • Assessment-based • High Intensity • Tier Two • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Tier Two • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Tier One • All settings, all students • Preventive, proactive • Tier One • All students • Preventive, proactive

8. Typical School Day 17% Direct Instruction 33% Seatwork 20% Transitions 30% Discipline & OtherNon-InstructionalActivities Reinke, Herman & Stormont, 2013; Walberg, 1988 328 MO SW-PBS

9. Academic Learning Time There is no doubt academic learning time–the amount of time that students are actively, successfully, and productively engaged in learning–is a strongdeterminant of achievement. MO SW-PBS

10. Academic Learning Time Instructional Time–the amount of the allocated timethat actually results in teaching. Engaged Time–the amount of instructional time students are actively engaged in learning. MO SW-PBS

11. Academic Learning Time Instructional Time–diminished by unclear procedures, disruptive student behavior, disciplinary responses, lengthy transitions, etc. Effective Classroom Practices to Increase Instructional Time: • Classroom Expectations • Classroom Procedures & Routines • Encouraging Expected Behavior • Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior MO SW-PBS

12. Academic Learning Time Engaged Time–diminished by inactive supervision, limited opportunities for students to respond, poor task selection, etc. Effective Classroom Practices to Increase Time of Student Engagement: • Active Supervision • Opportunities to Respond • Activity Sequencing & Choice • Task Difficulty MO SW-PBS

13. Effective Classroom Practices • Classroom Expectations • Classroom Procedures & Routines • Encouraging Expected Behavior • Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior • Active Supervision • Opportunities to Respond • Activity Sequencing & Choice • Task Difficulty 328 MO SW-PBS

14. Think, Pair, Share Think to Yourself: When do I lose Instructional Time?When do I lose Engaged Time? Pair with a partner. Share your thinking. 328 MO SW-PBS

15. Outcomes At the end of the session, you will be able to… • Explain to others the power of positive and proactive strategies in establishing an effective classroom learning environment. • Describe the eight Effective Classroom Practices. MO SW-PBS

16. Effective Positive Classroom Environments “The goal of effective classroom management is not creating “perfect” children, but providing the perfect environment for enhancing their growth, using research-based strategies that guide students toward increasingly responsible and motivated behavior.” (Sprick, Knight, Reinke & McKale, 2006, p. 185) MO SW-PBS

17. 1. Classroom Expectations • Develop a few behaviors/rules aligned with each schoolwideexpectation (Example: Be Respectful—Follow Directions) • Post Expectations & Rules in prominent place and refer to them frequently • Teach rules explicitly • Recognize students when they follow rules 328 MO SW-PBS

18. 2. Classroom Procedures • Develop explicit steps to follow for common classroom activities (e.g. handing in papers) • Post classroom procedures in a prominent place and refer to them frequently • Teach classroom procedures explicitly • Recognize students when they follow the procedures 328 MO SW-PBS

19. 3. Encouraging Expected Behavior • Provide high rates of responses to students who comply with classroom rules & procedures through: • Specific Positive Verbal Feedback • Nonverbal Recognition • Ideal rate of responses when students follow classroom rules & procedures is 4 to 1 response to correct students. 328 MO SW-PBS

20. 4. Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior • Use an instructional approach when students make social behavioral errors similar to when students make academic errors. • Use professional tone and demeanor • Correct errors by telling students what to do, using language of the classroom expectations and rules • Use a variety of response strategies (e.g. re-direct, re-teach) 328 MO SW-PBS

21. 5. Active Supervision • Continually monitor students by scanning, moving and interacting frequently and strategically. • Design classroom floor plan and lessons to consider ease of movement, student groupings, activity levels, etc. • Provide positive contact, positive and corrective feedback while moving. 328 MO SW-PBS

22. 6. Opportunities to Respond • Design lessons to provide a variety of strategies to increase students opportunities to respond and there, increase engaged time. • Strategy examples: • Various strategies to track students being called on • Choral responding • Non-verbal responses (e.g. thumbs up) • Response Cards • Guided Notes 328 MO SW-PBS

23. 7. Sequencing and Choice • Design lessons and assignment to sequence tasks by intermingling easy/brief tasks among longer or more difficult tasks. • Design lessons and assignments to offer a variety of choice options, for example: • Give students choice of partners • Offer locations in classroom to do work • Offer a variety of ways students can demonstrate their knowledge 328 MO SW-PBS

24. 8. Task Difficulty • Set students up for success by ensuring instruction, independent work and reading assignments are at students’ academic level. • Design lessons and assignments to address a variety of assignment lengths, response modes and increased opportunities for instruction or practice. 328 MO SW-PBS

27. Discussion: Academic Learning Time Discuss with a partner: • What do we currently do to ensure uninterrupted learning time? • What do we currently do to ensure engaged time (e.g., practices to ensure that students are on task, responding frequently, and producing quality work matched to their ability)? 330 MO SW-PBS

28. Effective classroom managers are known, not by what they do when misbehavior occurs, but by what they do to set their classroom up for academic success and to prevent problems from occurring. 328 MO SW-PBS

29. Discussion: Implementation of Effective Classroom Practices • Classroom Expectations • Classroom Procedures & Routines • Encouraging Expected Behavior • Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior • Active Supervision • Opportunities to Respond • Activity Sequencing & Choice • Task Difficulty 328 MO SW-PBS
