  1. Develop a System for Teaching Appropriate Behavior

  2. Major portions of the following material were developed by: George Sugai and Rob Horner OSEP Funded Technical Assistance Center www.pbis.org In conjunction with The Iowa Department of Education

  3. Outcomes for This Session • Understand the rationale for teaching behavioral expectations • Develop lesson plans for teaching behavioral expectations

  4. Teaching and learning are the predominant themes for understanding and working with behaviors through PBIS.When kids can’t read….we teach.When kids can’t swim….we teach.When kids can’t multiply….we teach.When kids can’t behave: ….do we teach?or ….do we punish?

  5. Why Develop a System for Teaching Behavior? • We can no longer assume that students know the rules/expectations and appropriate ways to behave • We can no longer assume that all students will learn appropriate behaviors quickly and effectively without consistent modeling/practice • We MUST assume that students will require different curricula, instructional modalities, etc. to learn appropriate behavior • We MUST assume that we need to teach appropriate behaviors/expectations and rules as effectively as we teach academic skills

  6. Why Develop a System for Teaching Behavior? • Behaviors are prerequisites for academics • Procedures and routines create structure • Repetition is key to learning new skills: • For a child to learn something new, it needs to be repeated on average of 8 times • For a child to unlearn an old behavior and replace with a new behavior, the new behavior must be repeated on average 28 times (Harry Wong)

  7. Instructional Discipline “ Social Skills should be taught to children using the same strategies that are used to teach academic skills- direct instruction, practice, feedback.” Colvin and Sugai, 1988

  8. Teaching of Behavioral Expectations • Use Expectations Matrix as a guide to developing teaching plans • Include all staff in lesson plans • Plan to teach and practice in the context that the behavior is to occur (e.g., teach lunchroom behavior in the lunchroom)

  9. Teaching of Behavioral Expectations • Specific, observable behaviors. • Teach (a) the words, and (b) the actions. • Build a social culture that is predictable, and focused on student success.

  10. At Park Avenue, we are people of character. We are respectful. We are responsible. We care.

  12. Teaching Behavioral Expectations Step 1: Define the expectation Step 2: Provide a rationale Step 3: Teach & model unacceptable behavior Step 4: Teach & model acceptable behavior Step 5: Practice expected behavior Step 6: Acknowledge appropriate behavior

  13. Teaching Plan • Presentation: Ways to demonstrate and have fun! • Practice: At least twice • Reinforcement: How will you positively reinforce or celebrate their success? • Follow-up Plan: ensure a 5-1 ratio of positive

  14. Expectation:

  15. Other Activities • Write and illustrate an essay on the topic: “What Being Respectful and Treating Others the Way You Want To Be Treated Means to Me” • Create a “jar” for problems to solve together. Have students submit problems they have experienced. Pull problems from the “jar” and brainstorm RESPECTFUL solutions. Encourage students to submit problems throughout the year. • Make a poster with the word RESPECT written on the left side of the page. Write phrases or words that start with each letter of RESPECT. • Remember to hold the door open for others • Excuse yourself if you bump into someone • Sayyou’re sorry if you hurt someone’s feelings. • Pick up your mess. • Extend a helping hand. • Call a friend who is sick and wish them Get Well. • Talk over your differences.

  16. “When I Borrow” When I borrow, I need something from a friend Oh thank heavens, he has it to lend. When I borrow, I must ask permission first so my friend won’t think the worst. When I borrow, I’ll take something to use and I’ll remember the pleases and thank yous. When I borrow, I must take good care or my friend will not want to share. When I borrow, the thing must be returned as soon as I’m done, is what I have learned. When I borrow, if I say thank you again perhaps next time, he’ll loan me his pen. Author Unknown Taking Turns When playing a game, I know who goes first and who goes after. When playing a game, it’s lots of fun and lots of laughter. When playing a game, I watch while others take their turn. When playing a game, waiting for my time is something to learn. His turn, his turn, I can wait. Her turn, her turn, she’s not late. My turn, my turn, I’ll do my best. My turn, my turn, then I’ll rest. Your turn, your turn, comes after mine. Your turn, your turn, you’ll do fine. Author Unknown

  17. McCombs Middle School Teaching Schedule Teaching Areas: 1 -- Cafeteria 4 -- Restroom 7 -- Bus 2 -- Hallway 5 – Auditorium 8 -- Office 3 -- Outside 6 -- Before/After 9 -- Rewards

  18. Teaching Behavioral Expectations • Plan for a schedule of teaching throughout the year (including booster sessions) • Use the language of school-wide expectations, for example, “Is it being respectful when you are noisy in the hall, or is it responsible when you leave a mess in the lunchroom?” • Lesson Plans are included in PBIS Products Book

  19. Teaching expectations - Some Ideas • Have students, in groups, rotate to designated areas of the school where staff demonstrate the positive and negative examples of specific expectations in that area. • Use video examples. • Have students make posters. • Use an all school assembly.

  22. Teaching Expectations - More Ideas • Have students create skits. • Have students write letters to their parents or articles for the school newspaper about expectations. • Play “Pictionary” or “Jeopardy” with expectations. • Create student-made books. • Use older students to show younger students.

  23. Teaching Behavioral Expectations • What are some ways that you can teach the specific expectations around your school to all students and staff? • Begin the process of developing lesson plans with your staff. • Don’t forget to include the non-teaching staff in your building.
