The Critical Elements • Establish rules. • Clarify your expectations. (How does it look?) • Create lesson plans & teach. • Design feedback & reinforcement system. • Collect data. Is this working? Machine vs. Buffet
Be Safe Be Respectful Be Responsible
Rules Teach kids what you want, and pay more attention to them when they are doing it than when they are not.
Spend more time focused on what is going right. Train yourself to look for it…
Purpose of Positives • Help Adults Build Positive Relationships • Who they are • What they do • Create a positive, inviting environment • Tool to encourage & reinforce desired behaviors • Those learning new behaviors • Role models of positive behavior
Gotcha! Why use tangibles? *Safe *Respectful *Responsible • They help you learn to look for the good in kids. • They increase your opportunities to build relationships with kids. • They multiply the positive reinforcement. • It is more effective in helping kids change habits than verbal praise alone. (but remember - is has to be genuine.)
Creating Bridges Deliver a meaningful messagethat builds self-esteem and can become internalized. • “I know that assignment was hard, but you stayed with it. You’re a hard worker.” • “Thanks for standing up for someone else. You did the right thing. You should be proud of yourself.”
Good things might come your way if you're doing the right thing. Bigger isn’t better. Intermittent random reinforcement is most effective in changing behavior.
