18. “Why should we acknowledge students for something they should be doing anyway?” Does acknowledgment shape our behavior?

20. Current Acknowledgement Practices Inappropriate Behavior - Sent to counselor - Principal’s office -After school with an adult -Stay in from recess -Call home -Parent meeting -Special incentives - In school suspension -1 positive to 4 neutral Appropriate Behavior More challenging work “Free time” Ignored Call Home _ Verbal praise

21. Reinforcement/ Acknowledgement can be ineffective if… • Delivered with ambiguity • Is not meaningful • Creates psychological pressure • Never fade ( generalize)

22. Why Do We Acknowledge? • Reinforce the teaching of new behaviors • Strengthen positive behaviors that compete with problem behavior •Prompt for adults to recognize behavior- 4:1 • Overall, we earn time back to teach and keep kids in the classroom where they can learn from us! Every time any adult interacts with any student, it is an instructional moment! CELEBRATE
