  7. 2006-07 Student Problem Behavior by Type

  8. # Behavioral Incidents per school day Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Black= 2005-06 Teal= 2006-07

  9. Spring 07 Behavioral Analysis Jan Feb Mar AprMay Class Disruption Defiance Not Follow Directions Mischief Tardies TOTALS

  10. 2007-08 Team Goals • Develop a clear school-wide definition of “student defiance” so that we can better understand it and take steps to reduce it. (positively stated: “to increase respect”) • Reduce the number of springtime behavioral incidents

  11. Hypotheses to explain the increase in spring behavioral incidents • Students forgetting behavioral expectations over winter holidays and spring break • More fights • Fewer social events (dress-up days, assemblies, photo days, etc.) • More 5 day weeks with fewer breaks • Colder, rainier weather • Increase in the difficulty and amount of academic work (longer assignments, research reports, etc.) • Teachers holding students accountable for academics which may cause increased student resistance • Others ?

  12. Proposed Activity Every other Friday, create a preferred activity period at the end of the day to reward students with all assignments completed. Shorten each period by 5 minutes. Activities could include table games, dance and/or open gym. Completion of assignments could be validated with a stamped passport system. Students who do not have all work completed would be assigned to a study hall. Reducing the number of missing assignments may reduce student frustration and defiance about attending academic assistance sessions.

  13. Part 2 Positive and Proactive Discipline Systems

  14. Systemic Practices to Promote Positive Proactive School-wide Discipline • Annual review with staff changes to the student handbook, rules or character ed program and update these changes in all staff PBS binders • School rules & expectations are bound into the front of every student planner • Behavior continuum with minimum & maximum consequences is included • School-wide schedule to review all expectations at beginning of each year followed • 8 Basic Social Skills taught throughout the school (Boy’s Town Material) • School-wide Character Education Assembly led by the principal and school resource officer to review school-wide rules, character education, and chargeable offenses • In a series of 18 lessons throughout the year, every teacher teaches students how to respond to, report, and stop harassment

  15. Sample Part of our Behavior Continuum

  16. Following directions Accepting “no” for an answer Talking with Others Introducing Yourself Accepting Criticism or a Consequence Disagreeing Appropriately Showing Respect Showing Sensitivity to Others Boys Town Basic Social Skills

  17. Using the Discipline Referral Form Goal was to create easy, user-friendly check-off forms for staff • This form was created by studying examples from other schools • Time and location are recorded for each incident • The 17 most common behavior categories are listed as check-offs, with room for anecodotal notes • Behavior categories are aligned with student handbook • Motivation is the most difficult to determine • Consequences and Follow-up are assigned by administrators • Problem-solving section allows students the opportunity to process and learn from incidents • Parents are notified by letter or phone- a copy of the NCR form is returned to the teacher
