  18. West Seaford Positive Behavior Plan T • each expectations for all areas of the school. • pply/Model expectations after they are taught and/or as needed. • einforce expectations verbally and with “Winner Bucks” A R

  19. Common Vocabulary Instead of having a list of rules, we have made groups of expectations using common terms… Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe

  20. Be Respectful • Listen Carefully • Follow adult directions the first time • Use a quiet voice when necessary • Use good manners • Help others when needed

  21. Be Responsible • Be in your seat and ready to learn • Have everything you need • Cooperate with others

  22. Be Safe • Use materials appropriately • Keep hands, feet, and objects to self • Move around the room calmly • Help others when needed

  23. Displaying the Vocabulary • Same language throughout school and on buses • Displays have been made for all areas (color coded) • Students can create posters to be hung in classrooms and hallways • Gives students ownership • Show examples

  24. See the Behavior Matrix

  25. Possible Vocabulary Displays

  26. And Another…….

  27. Common Vocabulary • Turn to a partner and discuss the advantages of having common vocabulary across all areas of the school

  28. Teaching Expectations ( ) T • Expectations for all areas of the school will be taught by classroom teachers • Using a Lesson Timeline each week is assigned an area (s) and lesson (s) • On Tuesdays and Thursdays these lessons are taught (should only take 10 minutes) • See packet for timeline and lessons (more will be forthcoming)

  29. Teaching Expectations - Timeline

  30. Apply/Model Expectations ( ) A • Model expectations yourself • Role play expectations (as identified in lessons) • Continue to use “teachable” moments as needed

  31. Reinforce Expectations ( ) R • Remind students of expectations • Reinforce verbally • Reinforce with “Winner Bucks”

  32. Ways to Earn “Winner Bucks” • When students apply behavioral expectations (what was taught) • Making positive choices • Use school wide matrix for ideas of earning “Winner Bucks” • “Winner Bucks” can be given to any student, any where, by anyone (adults) • hallways, specials, classroom, bus, cafeteria, Playground, assemblies, et cetera

  33. Reinforce - “Winner Bucks”

  34. How to Protect the “Winner Bucks” • Attach to bulletin board • Lunch bags - cut down • Envelopes • Baggies • Pocket Charts • Students may keep them in their desk in baggies or envelopes • Climate has baggies or envelopes if needed

  35. Ways to Spend “Winner Bucks” • Classroom Incentives • Each teacher will have a slew of resources bagged by recommended amounts • Other lassoing ideas (see Suggested Incentive Pricing document and following slides) • Teachers may select their incentives • Wallabies will come around and drop off incentive bags and “Winner Bucks” to each classroom teacher

  36. Incentive Ideas • Small rewards and amounts for reward can be decided in classrooms • Just some ideas: - 5 bucks: mini erasers, sticker • 10 bucks: pencil, eraser cap, read to the class • 20 bucks: bookmark, lunch with a friend, special seat, read to another teacher or class • 30 bucks: Sit by a friend for the day, Sit at teacher’s desk, Homework pass

  40. “Lots” of Winner Bucks • Choose a special job for the week • Create a bulletin board • Be a helper in a room with younger children • Lunch with an administrator • Take home a class game for a few nights • Extra computer time • Create a podcast or record a story on a tape or digital recorder (see Dr. Fishburn to borrow) • Use a video camera or digital camera to create a story • Ice cream pass • Ask students to come up with some of their own

  41. How do I manage cash out times? • During silent reading, journaling, DPP, seat work, recess • Weekly, bi-weekly, immediate • Set up incentives • Pull sticks, call teams, or pairs • Those who want to cash out can do so, others may want to save for larger incentives • Communicate plan to students • Try not to take away from instructional minutes

  42. Large Round-Ups • 2 times a year (December 18th & June 1st) • Teachers will be the ranch hands to help with the activity they enjoy • Students will know at beginning of year what the round up choices will be • Students earn these by not having any referrals • More information will be forthcoming

  44. YES We Focus on Positive, BUT there are Still Consequences • If expectations are not followed after being taught, applied, and reinforced (TAR), consequences may need to be given • Follow the sequence of consequences (next slide) • Possible flip card display, clipboard, etc – teacher has choice on how they manage the system, but the consequences must be followed • Supplies will be given to set up your “system”
