“Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?” “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?” Tom Herner(NASDE President ), 1998

Process for Teaching Behavioral Expectations • Define the Expectation • Provide a Rationale • Teach the Critical Discrimination • Demonstrate Appropriate Behavior-”Examples” • Demonstrate Unacceptable Behavior-”Non-Examples” • Practice telling the difference with multiple examples • If there is a “signal” teach the signal (when should the appropriate behavior occur?) • Have everyone practice the appropriate behavior • Acknowledge students for demonstrating appropriate behavior
Teaching Expectations • Signage • Announcements • Power Points • Student Generated Videos • Assemblies • Expectation Stations • Games • Student Skits • PBS “Dictionary” (Horizons)

Critical Features of Effective Behavioral Expectation Lessons • Behavior expectation is clearly identified • Lesson is being taught in the location • Rational provided • Examples provided • Examples “fit” the general case • Teach both the words and the actions • Non-examples are provided • Non-examples are similar to examples of expected behavior • Non-examples are typical of what students do • Opportunities to practice • Expected behavior(s) acknowldeged
Shawanoe’s Lesson Plan Students will show RESPECT in the HALLWAYS. What does it look like: Follow the 3 T’s in order to set an example. Minding your own business and taking care of yourself. Looking at walls/displays/artwork without touching. What does it sound like: Be silent with your voice and quiet with your body in order to respect the learning of others. Intentionally create a hallway disruption and have students reflect through writing or discussion the challenges to learning it posed. Model how it looks to greet a friend, teacher, sibling, etc. in the hallway while maintaining respect. Hang a white piece of paper by your classroom door, with the instructions for students to touch the paper each time coming in/out of the classroom. Observe the paper at the beginning and at the end of the day, noting what happens when the walls and artwork aren’t respected and the guidelines aren’t followed. Anytime you witness or watch a student demonstrate the objectives, even in a simple way, point it out, praise them, and give them a PERKS Pass.

Acknowledging Expectations:Who • Individual • Class-wide • School-wide • Department • Family
Acknowledging Expectations:How • Tickets, Chips, Loops • Drawings • Student of the Month • Classroom Menu • Announcements • Games (Bingo, Minute To Win It, Plinko, etc.) • Assemblies
Rationale • Based on the belief that some of the children in every school/classroom desire attention (regardless of SES, gender, race). • Research Literature: Over 30 years of research found most teachers (general education and special education) fall into patterns where we are giving more attention to misbehavior than positive behavior (3-15:1 skewed to the negative side) Research cited by Sprick (2007)
Research Review • Landmark studies: (Dr. Wesley Becker) found children who are starved for attention, as the rate of criticism increases the rate of their misbehavior increases. • Why?…because it is a vicious cycle
Reminder For students who repeatedly demonstrate minor or major misbehavior, they will require even more immediate and specific feedback when they engage in the expected behavior.
Common Concerns • Won’t the student think that the positive attention is phony? • Research conducted that explored this very issue: found that it really did not matter even when the researcher/observer thought the teacher sounded very phony • Issue is: what behaviors are you paying attention to? Research cited by Sprick (2007)
“Products” for Acknowledgement System • Formal plan for increasing the amount of positive interactions all adults have with students in the school (6:1 ratio)
“Products” for Acknowledgement System • The systematic ways in which students are provided positive feedback for demonstrating the behavioral expectations will be the basis of an acknowledgment system • Note: until the ratio of positive/negative interactions is 6:1, a visual prompt (i.e. slip, ticket) may need to be used by adults and given to students
Common Concerns & Questions • Isn’t this bribery? • Definition of “bribe”: the inducement (usually monetary) to do something illegal, unethical, or immoral. A bribe is an incentive to do something wrong.
Common Concerns & Questions • Isn’t this bribery? • Do you hear this comment: “We shouldn’t have to bribe kids” • Gentle correction: “I have never bribed a kid because I have never created an extrinsic system to do something wrong.”
Bottom Line • An extrinsic acknowledgement system provides the adults in the building with a visual prompt to provide all students in the school with specific, verbal feedback regarding their demonstration of the behaviors defined on the matrix
