Behavior Management in Nonclassroom Settings Sugai & Colvin, 1996
Activity • Staff Survey-Non Classroom SET
Purpose • To review critical features & essential practices of behavior management in nonclassroom settings.
Examples An elementary school principal found that over 45% of their behavioral incident reports were coming from the playground.
High school assistant principal reports that over 2/3 of behavior incident reports come from “four corners.”
A middle school secretary reported that she was getting at least one neighborhood complaint daily about student behavior on & off school grounds.
An high school nurse lamented that “too many students were asking to use her restroom” during class transitions.
NONCLASSROOM SETTINGS • Particular times or places where supervision is emphasized • Cafeteria • Hallways • Playgrounds • Buses & bus loading zones • Bathrooms • Parking lots • Assemblies • Sporting events, dances
10 minute activity • Pick a problematic nonclassroom setting • Identify features of problem • Identify possible solutions • Report one example
Classroom Teacher directed Instructionally focused Small # of predictable students Nonclassroom Student focused Social focus Large # of unpredictable students Classroom v. Nonclassroom
MANAGEMENT FEATURES • Physical/environmental arrangements • Routines & expectations • Staff behavior • Student behavior
BASIC MANAGEMENT PRACTICES • Active supervision • Movement • Scanning • Interact • Precorrections • Positive reinforcement of expected behavior
SYSTEMS FEATURES • School-wide implementation • All staff • Direct teaching 1st day/week • Regular review, practice, & positive reinforcement • Team-based identification, implementation, & evaluation • Data-based decision making
The Power Of Teaching • “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we … … teach? …punish?” Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?
Why does everyone need to be involved? • Staff outnumbered in too many settings • Goal to achieve generalized responding of appropriate behavior • Adult presence is deterrent
7 minute activity • Pick another problematic nonclassroom setting • Identify features of problem • Identify possible solutions • Revisit solution w/r to active supervision
