Developing School-wide Expectations-The SMART Matrix • Process • Staff top 3 discipline concerns to address • Distributed draft SMART Matrix by location for staff, including cafeteria staff, and student feedback • Compiled responses and shared results
SMART Matrix-The Pilot • Choose six 8th grade classrooms to pilot • Volunteer based on culture of our school • Everyone works from SMART Matrix • Each classroom teacher aligned classroom rules with school-wide expectations • Taught expectations (15 minutes/day) and rules on SMART Matrix • Acknowledgement system- Student input
SMART Matrix-Lessons Learned • Do not commit “assumicide”-must teach students behaviors/expectations/rules • This is just as much about adults as it is students • All staff need to acknowledge all students • Plan for acknowledgement system before beginning • Challenge: Maintain consistency with teaching and acknowledging
SMART Matrix-What’s Next • Lesson plans for staff to teach expectations • Post SMART laminated posters in classroom and nonclassroom settings • Consider adding classroom guest to matrix • Add SMART Matrix to Student Planner, School Website • Present to PTA
Data Driven Decision Making • Absenteeism • What did the data tell us? • Rate, month, antecedent • How did we intervene? • Expectation • Intervention • Supports • Outcomes
ESD…A living process • Always revising based on data and implementation • More efficient use of time • Not an add on; way to organize what we are doing for all students
