16. Behaviour Principles There are five principles that lay the foundation necessary for promoting appropriate positive behaviours

17. Understanding the Science of Behaviour Principle #1 Behaviour is anythingwe say or do All we do is behave

18. Understanding the Science of Behaviour Principle #2 Behaviour is how we react to our environment Our behaviours tend to be triggered by an ‘event’ around (or in) us.

19. Understanding the Science of Behaviour Principle #3 Behaviours meet a need: Get? attain / obtain / request Avoid?escape / protest fight/flight The behaviours we choose are purposeful. It is our best attempt to get us what we want OR avoid what we don’t want - to meet specific needs / goals / functions. • Skill set • Context

20. Behaviour Communicates • A message when a child does not have language • Used instead of language by a child who has limited social skills

22. Understanding the Science of Behaviour Principle #4 Behaviours are often learned Behaviours often continue because they work! They serve a purposeorfunction.We engage in behaviours because we have learned that a desired outcome occurs

23. Understanding the Science of Behaviour Principle #5 Replacement behaviours need to be taught explicitly. • Teach expected behaviours explicitly • Provide time to Practiceexpected behaviours • Encourage students to Applythese behaviours in different settings • Acknowledgewhen attemptsare made at meeting expectations of behaviour.

24. When a student can not read ... • we teach When a student can not calculate or problem solve… • we teach When a student can not write... • we teach When a student can not behave … • we punish!

25. Replacement Behaviours Need to be Taught TEACH PRACTICE APPLY ACKNOWLEDGE

26. BEHAVIOUR is functionally related to the TEACHING ENVIRONMENT Buildings and People

28. PBL is the redesign of environments,not the redesign of individuals.

29. You can not make anyone change their behaviour !

44. PBL….. • Views the system, setting, or skill deficiency as the most likely source of problem behaviour • Adjusts systems and settings and improves skills • Identifies and teaches replacement skills and builds relationships

45. PBL…. • Relies primarily on positive approaches • Has a goal of sustained results achieved over time • Is developed by a collaborative team

46. PBL…. • Problem behaviours have clear consequences • Student behaviour is monitored and staff receive regular feedback – data • Positive Behavioural Support strategies are designed to meet the needs of all students

47. PBL is not... • Not a ‘magic cure!” • Not a specific package or curriculum… it’s a structured “process” • Not warm and fuzzy….it is systematic and evidence based • Not about watering down consequences • Not limited to any particular group of students… it’s for all students • Not new… it’s based on long history

48. Gallup survey on work satisfaction“What the Worlds Greatest Managers Do Differently” -- Buckingham & Coffman 2002, GallupInterviews with 1 million workers, 80,000 managers, in 400 companies. For Employees • I know what is expected of me at work. • I have the materials and equipment I need to do my job right. • I regularly receive recognition or praise for doing good work. • My supervisor or someone at work, seems to care about me as a person. • There is someone at work who encourages my development. • The mission/purpose of my company makes me feel my job is important.

49. What if We Re-word it for Students • I know what is expected of me at school. • I have the academic and behavioural skills I need to succeed. • At school today, I received recognition or praise for doing good work or behaving appropriately. • My teacher or someone at school seems to care about me as a person. • There is someone at school who encourages my development. • The mission/purpose of the school makes my effort seem important.
