Module D 26

Snapshot: Module E Develop Expectations and Rules

Benchmarks of Quality: 17-21

Benchmarks of Quality (BoQs):

Three-to-five school-wide expectations posted around school (classroom and at least three other locations).

School-wide expectations apply to all adults and students in building.

Rules/specific behaviors defining school-wide expectations are developed and posted in most problematic locations in building.

Rules/specific behaviors are linked with school-wide expectations when taught and enforced.

Implementation Products and Outcomes:

Teaching Matrix with replacement behaviors defined based on data

Classroom rules aligned with school-wide expectations

Research:

A dependable system of rules and procedures provides structure for students and helps them be engaged with instructional tasks (Brophy, 1998).

Clearly stating expectations and consistently supporting them lends credibility to a teacher’s authority (Good & Brophy, 2000).

Use of expectations and rules provides a guideline for students to monitor their own behavior and they remind and motivate students to meet certain standards (Newcomer, 2009).

What is it?

Expectations are outcomes or the overarching umbrella in which all social behaviors would be included.

Rules are the specific criteria for meeting expectation outcomes.

Rules identify and define concepts of acceptable behavior.

Teaching matrix is a graphic organizer of expectations defined with rules/specific behaviors by location.

Snapshot: Module F Establish Reward or Recognition Program

Benchmarks of Quality: 22-28

Benchmarks of Quality (BoQs):

A system of rewards has elements that are implemented consistently across campus.

Recognition system includes a variety of methods to acknowledge students and staff.

Recognition system is linked to school-wide expectations and rules.

Recognition is varied to maintain and reflect student and adult interest—students and staff are involved in identifying,

Ratio of reinforcement to corrections is high.

The system includes incentives for staff/faculty.

Implementation Products and Outcomes:

School-wide use of Behavior Specific Praise Statements using the wording on the teaching matrix

Consistent implementation of minimum of 4:1 ratio of positive statements to negative statements among staff

Research:

To learn, humans require regular and frequent feedback on their actions

Humans experience frequent feedback from others, self, & environment (planned/unplanned, desirable/undesirable)

Without formal feedback to encourage desired behavior, other forms of feedback shape undesired behaviors

More positive reinforcement for appropriate school behaviors is needed

Students needing additional support benefit from clear, salient, formal feedback

Increases the likelihood that desired behaviors will be repeated and focuses attention on desired behaviors

Fosters a positive school climate

Reduces the need for engaging in time consuming disciplinary measures

Create positive interactions and rapport with students

Overall, we earn time back to teach and keep kids in the classroom where they can learn from us!

(Cameron, 2002; Cameron & Pierce, 1994, 2002; Cameron, Banko, & Pierce, 2001; OSEP)

What is it?

Develop teaching matrix of school-wide expectations and rules/specific behaviors. Use words included on the matrix to formulate feedback statements.

A consistent system of acknowledgment for staff and students

Supporting Implementation:

Role of Coach:

Attend team training with team.

Support team action planning.

Work as a partner with administration to provide necessary resources.

Snapshot: Module G Develop Lesson Plans for Teaching Expectations and Rules

Benchmarks of Quality: 29-34

Benchmarks of Quality (BoQs):

A behavioral curriculum includes concept and skill level instruction.

Lessons include examples and non-examples.

Lessons use a variety of teaching strategies.

Lessons are embedded into subject area curriculum.

Faculty/staff and students are involved in development & delivery of lesson plans.

Strategies to reinforce the lessons with families/community are developed and implemented.

Implementation Products and Outcomes:

System to support staff to teach school-wide expectations.

Collaboratively developed lesson plans for initial instruction, on-going booster sessions for reminding and re-teaching, embedded instruction within academic instruction.

Research:

Behaviors are prerequisites for academics.

Procedures and routines create structure.

Repetition is key to learning new skills:

For a child to learn something new, it needs to be repeated an average of eight times.

Adults average 25. (Joyce and Showers, 2006)

For a child to unlearn an old behavior and replace with a new behavior, the new behavior must be repeated on average 28 times. (Harry Wong)

We can no longer assume:

Students know the expectations/rules and appropriate ways to behave.

Students will learn appropriate behaviors quickly and effectively without consistent practice and modeling.

We must assume:

Students will require different curricula, instructional modalities, etc… to learn appropriate behavior.

We need to teach expectations/rules and appropriate behaviors as effectively as we teach academic skills.

What is it?

Lessons are developed to teach expectations and rules.

Lessons include examples and non-examples and a variety of instructional methods and are embedded with academic instruction.

Supporting Implementation:

Role of District Coordinator:

Provide connections to community and school division resources (e.g., technology for creating school videos)

Role of Administrator:

Include time during staff or grade level/core/department meetings to allow coach and team to facilitate teaching acknowledgement.

Include lesson plans as part of “look for” of walk through.

Allocate resources (e.g., team

Supporting Implementation:

Role of Coach:

Provide examples of lesson plans and lesson planning formats for specific behaviors and expectations. Resources: PBIS.org, pbismaryland.org, state coaching activities (e.g., workshops, professional learning communities)

Role of Team:

Review sample lesson plans and lesson planning formats for best contextual fit for your school.

With coach and administrative support, draft action plan to provide initial instruction, on-going instruction, and opportunities/examples of embedding with academic curriculum.

Develop a schedule for initial, on-going, and embedded instruction to teach expectations.

Plan for ways to teach students and adults new to the building (e.g., video models).
