CAPTURING A KID’S HEART
You must capture a kid’s heartTo get to his head
If that’s not where you start,Please do another job instead.Kids must know you to be true
And the key to that is without a doubt…..Y-O-U!
By Dr. George Luck, Principal
Temple High School
January 17, 1995
LEADERSHIP Definition: “A leader is someone who
sets aside a personal agenda and embraces a greater agenda of serving others.” Flip Flippen

Capturing Kids Hearts wants to remind teachers that it’s not what we teach, but how we teach that is important. We do not teach Content, We Teach Children.
FOUR QUESTIONS TEACHERS USE
What are you doing? What are you suppose to be doing? Are you doing it? What are you going to do about it?
Note: Can’t deal with behavior and attitude at the same time, deal with behavior first.
QUESTIONS FOR YOUR STAFF
Can you teach all Students? Can you teach in all schools? (with the
same results)
“Anyone can steer a ship when the sea is calm.” Pubilius Syrus
PBS

Teach Social Skills
POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT--PBS Is not a curriculum PBS is a collaborative process for
assessment and development of effective interventions.
PBS emphasizes the use of prevention, teaching and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful outcomes.
PBS strives to build effective environments, in which positive behavior is more effective than problem behavior.
A proactive systems approach to school-wide discipline (not a curriculum) designed to be responsive to current social and educational challenges.
A process that focuses on prevention and instruction.
A systems approach to promoting positive student and staff behavior, that incorporate empirically validated practices.
WHY PBS? Problems in schools are increasing. Typical responses are inefficient. Schools implementing comprehensive PBS see long-term changes.
1. Reduction of office discipline referrals
2. Reduction in suspensions3. Increased staff morale and retention4. Positive school climates
Move beyond punishment—teach, monitor, reward appropriate behaviors before relying on punishment
STEPS Total Staff Commitment Create School wide Expectations and
Procedures Clearly defined consequences for
correcting rule-breaking behaviors and procedures for rewarding appropriate behaviors
An instructional component for teaching students self-control, expected behaviors, and social skills strategies.
