  1. Positive Behavior Supportsfor the ClassroomPart 1 Presented by Tim Ylagan, Nancy Maxfield and Carleen Andrews

  2. Overview • Brainstorm-Introductions • What is PBS? • Classroom Systems • Brain Break - 4 Corners • Pair Share-Classroom Routines Matrix • More Classroom Systems • Reflect

  3. BrainstormEffective classroom management…

  4. PBS Basics • Positive Behavior Supports (EBS/PBIS) • Based on the Behavioral Model • Is evidence based practice • Systems Approach • It about building effective classroom management

  5. Connection Research suggests that students who feel connected (enjoy going to school, like their teachers & fellow students) have fewer behaviour issues, greater emotional well being (Eccles, 1993) and better academic outcomes (Osterman, 2000)

  6. Relationships • “The quality of the teacher/student relationship is the single most important factor to consider when rethinking classroom management” • Patricia Sequeira Belvel & Maya Marcia Jordon

  7. Relationships and PBS • Positive Relationships are: • The foundation of any classroom-based approach to positive behaviour • Key to creating a safe and caring classroom climate that invites/supports positive behaviour and skilled problem solving Alberta Ministry of Education

  8. School-Wide PBS

  9. Levels of Intervention

  10. Classroom • Classroom-wide positive expectations taught & encouraged • Teaching classroom routines & cues taught & encouraged • Ratio of at least 4 positive to 1 negative adult-student interaction • Active supervision • Design a Functional Physical Layout for the Classroom • Maximize Engaged Academic Time

  11. Brain Break 4 Corners

  12. 1. What percentage of students in a classroom would typically respond to green-zone interventions? • 80% • 15% • 5% • 75%

  13. What is the recommended ratio of positive to negative adult-student interactions? • 2 to 1 • 3 to 1 • 4 to 1 • 7 to 1

  14. 3. Classroom behaviour expectations should look like… B. A. C. D.

  15. 1. Behavioral Expectations • Define and teach 3-5 expectations for your classroom early in year. • Positively stated expectations • Easy to remember • Posted in the classroom • Consistent with School-wide rules/expectations • Taught Directly • Positive and negative examples

  16. Rights, Respect and Responsibilities

  17. Reflect

  18. 2. Classroom Routines • Define and teach classroom routines • How to enter class and begin to work • How to predict the schedule for the day • What to do if you do not have materials • What to do if you need help • What to do if you need to go to the bathroom • What to do if you are handing in late material • What to do if someone is bothering you. • Signals for moving through different activities. • How to determine if you are doing well in class • Establish a signal for obtaining class attention • Teach effective transitions

  19. Designing Classroom Routines

  20. Small Group Activity: 5 minIdentify Routines Pick a different routine common across classrooms in your school. Complete the matrix for your classroom. How do you share and find out good strategies in your school? 1-min reports.

  21. ClassroomRoutines Matrix

  22. Steps for Teaching a Routine • Explain • Demonstrate/Model • Guided Practice • Perform Independently • Review/Re- teach

  23. Cool Tools

  24. Teach Students to Self-Manage Once students know the routines, allow routine initiation to be prompted by normal events (the bell… completion of an assignment)… rather than rely on teacher prompts. Teach self-management The target behavior The self-management behavior Prompts Consequences

  25. 3.Establish a “positive environment” (4-1)At least four instances of positive interaction for every correction. Begin each class period with a celebration. Your first comment to a child establishes behavioral momentum. Engelmann, Mace, “interspersed requests” Provide multiple paths to success/praise. Group contingencies, personal contingencies, etc

  26. 4.Active Supervision • Move • Interact • Acknowledge • Proximity makes a difference • Redirections for minor, infrequent behavior errors • Frequent pre corrections for chronic errors

  27. 5.Design a Functional Physical Layout for the Classroom Different areas of classroom defined for different activities Define how to determine “what happens where” Traffic patterns Groups versus separate work stations Visual access Teacher access to students at all times Student access to relevant instructional materials Density Your desk

  28. Reflect and Share • 1 thing to try this week

  29. PBS view of the class

  30. Positive Behavior Supportsfor the ClassroomPart 2 Presented by Karen Gonzales and Tim Ylagan

  31. Classroom Pt. 2 6. Maximizing academic engagement time 7. Ensure academic success: match curriculum to students’ skills 8. Vary modes of instruction 9. Establish an effective hierarchy of consequences for problem behavior 10. Teacher has a system to request assistance

  32. 6. Maximize Academic Engagement Time • Plan for transitions • Maximize opportunities for student responses • Active supervision • Pacing • Student feedback • Planning and engaging students with disability ie Autism

  33. 7. Ensure Academic Successmatch the curriculum to students skills • Academic failure leads to problem behaviour. • How can we teach with success and still teach the required curriculum? • Monitor and adapt • Maintain instructional objective, but adjust the curriculum/instruction • Curricular adaptation (strategies) • Have fun

  34. 8. Varying the Modes of Instruction Group lecture Small group Independent work Integrating Activities Peer tutoring

  35. 9. Establish an effective hierarchy of consequences for problem behavior • Do not ignore problem behavior • (unless you are convinced the behavior is maintained by adult attention). • Establish predictable & reasonable consequences • Establish individual consequences AND group consequences

  36. 10. Teacher has System to Request Assistance • Teacher should be able to identify need for assistance and request help easily. • Does your school have a form for requesting help? • How do you initiate the identification process for students needing extra support. • School based resource people • District resource people • Provincial resource programs/outside agencies

  37. Classroom • Classroom-wide positive expectations taught & encouraged • Teaching classroom routines & cues taught & encouraged • Ratio of at least 4 positive to 1 negative adult-student interaction • Active supervision • Design a Functional Physical Layout for the Classroom • Maximize Engaged Academic Time
