2 A Guide for Teaching School-Wide Behavioral Expectations Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School will move from a reactive disciplinary system that relies on punishment to a proactive approach that incorporates the principles of Positive Behavioral Supports. The system of School-Wide Positive Behavior Support will increase our capacity to reduce school disruptions, and educate all students including those with problem behaviors through the following: Clearly defined outcomes Research-validated practices Supportive administrative systems Use of information for problem solving Features of School-Wide Positive Behavior Support Establish regular, predictable, positive learning and teaching environments. Train adults and peers to serve as positive models. Teach and model behavioral expectations. Create systems for providing regular positive feedback. Acknowledge students when they are doing the right thing. Improve social competence. Develop environments that support academic success. This guide is a result of a collaborative effort of the Positive Behavior Support Team. PBST members include Danelle Bulatovich, Deb Carver, Howard Funston, Debby Gabriel, Scott Gold, Torry Ivey, Rob Lukowski, Toni Modglin, Renee Pluchinsky, Jan Rozich, and Kara Thornberry. Current team members include: Mike Brady, Debby Gabriel, Jane Hoyle, Jodi Hogan, Torry Ivey, Rob Lukowski, Scott Miller, Amanda Robinson, Melinda Rolle, and Deanne Shaughnessy. 2

3 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School School-Wide Behavioral Expectations This guide provides specific goals, behavioral expectations, teacher and staff responsibilities, strategies for acknowledgement, procedures for handling infractions of behavioral expectations, and specific routines to be followed. School Goal: The school community at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School will meet school-wide behavioral expectations by being respectful, responsible, role models, giving effort and exhibiting safe practices (Appendix A and B). Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Behavioral Expectations: Teacher and Staff Responsibilities: Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School has STYLE Show Respect Take Responsibility You Can Do It Lead Positively Exhibit Safety Teachers and staff will teach, model and practice each of the behavioral expectations throughout the year. Teachers and staff will acknowledge student behaviors that meet the expectations. Teachers and staff will implement proactive behavior strategies. 1. Enforce school-wide behavioral expectations 2. Acknowledge appropriate behaviors 4:1 minimum (4 to 1 ratio --4 positive statements to 1 negative statement). Interaction should be high frequency and high quality. 3. Use pre-correction techniques 4. Redirect negative behaviors positively 5. Practice active supervision 6. Define, teach, and acknowledge positive expectations: Observable, Acknowledgeable, and Teachable (OAT) The Positive Behavior Support Team (PBST) will meet consistently to refine our Positive Behavior Support system. 1. Revise and expectations and routines. 2. Provide guidance for faculty and staff 3. Review data to make decisions 4. Disseminate information to colleagues 3

4 Implementation Plan Each classroom teacher is expected to teach the behavior expectations included in the school matrix. This implementation plan will take place at least 3 times a year. Teachers should follow the school-wide matrix (Appendix A) when addressing behaviors in each of the areas. The Advisor/Advisee period will be crucial in the implementation of PBS. The critical areas identified by the PBS Team are All Settings and Community, Hallway, Dining Room, Bathroom, Bus/Bus Stop and Classroom. There are example lesson plans in the appendix that address each of these areas. Individual teachers should feel free to come up with their own plan for teaching their expectations in the classroom. These lesson plans were developed and/or gathered by the PBS Team. Consistency is the key to the successful implementation of PBS. The guidelines outlined in this handbook should be used as a minimum standard for the expectations that teams and individuals set. PBS has been proven to work, but it takes time. This is not an instant fix. We will see some immediate results, but we should not get discouraged if some of the students do not respond immediately. We all need to remain consistent with our expectations and specific positive feedback. Patience should also be applied to our plan. This is a work in progress and will grow and change over time. We will find things that work and things that do not work. PBS is flexible so it can grow and adapt to our needs as a school community. We can no longer assume that every child knows how to play school. PBS requires continually teaching of desired expectations. By teaching our expectations and consistently reinforcing them we can keep more students in our classrooms, increase learning, and increase overall student success. The acknowledgement system is a feature of the PBS behavioral expectation system. Acknowledging students who demonstrate Lake Ridge Middle School behavioral expectations is an important part of the process. Specific Verbal Feedback When you observe students being respectful, responsible, role models, giving effort and/or exhibiting safe practices acknowledge them by giving specific positive verbal feedback such as: 1. That was so helpful the way you held the door open for your classmates. 2. Thank you for walking with your hands and feet to yourself. Weekly Targeted Expectation Feedback Acknowledge students who are exhibiting behaviors tied into the weekly targeted expectation by giving them specific positive feedback along with Laker Loot. Specific incentives can be used with the Laker Loot Redemption Menu (Appendix G). Students can use the Laker Loot for the Weekly Drawing, Book Store Purchases, School Privileges, and Special Activities. 4

5 Student Behavior Management Process Observe Problem Behavior Problem- Solve with students *Use Teacher Consequence (see below) NO Is behavior officemanaged? YES Write Office Referral Administrator Determines Consequences NO **Complete Minor Incident Report (see below) Has the teacher given the student 3 SIRs in the same quarter? YES 4 th Referral sent to the Teacher-managed Language Lateness Preparedness Calling Out Put Down Throwing Refusing to Work Minor Dishonesty Touching Tone/Attitude Electronic Devices Dress Code Violations Food or Drink Office-managed Weapons Fighting or Aggressive physical contact Chronic Minor Infractions Aggressive Language Threats Harassment Major Dishonesty Truancy Smoking Vandalism Alcohol Drugs Gambling Continue teacher management until 3 SIRs are collected 5 th Referral sent to the Counselor 6 th Referral sent to Dean *Take concrete action to correct behavior (fill out student goal sheets, start the student on a weekly progress report, assign classroom consequences). **Keep documented records with an Incident Report Notify parents before misbehaviors become chronic. When possible, have the corrective action correspond to the behavior being corrected. 5

6 Handling Infractions of Behavioral Expectations - Minor Lake Ridge Middle School will maintain a consistent system for handling infractions of behavioral expectations. Outlined below is the system along with the instructions for handling such behaviors: Minor Incident Behaviors include: Inappropriate Language Tardy Defiance, Disrespect, insubordination, non-compliance Horseplay (Pushing, shoving, playing with classmates) Lying, cheating Preparedness Calling Out Put Down Throwing Refusing to Work Minor Dishonesty Touching Tone/Attitude Unsolicited Electronic Devices Dress Code Violations Food or Drink Minor Incident Behaviors are to be handled by the classroom teacher or staff member witnessing such behaviors. A Lake Ridge Middle School Student Incident Report is available for use (Appendix C). If behaviors persist, the classroom teacher should call the parent to advise them that the teacher will meet with the student for the purpose of goal setting. An or note may be sent if phone contact cannot be made. The teacher and student will meet and complete the Goal/Strategy Sheet (Appendix D). If need be, one of the PBS staff members may be a resource for this process. After two weeks, parents should be contacted regarding the student s progress or lack there of on the goal sheet. Each parent contact should be documented in a phone log and on the goal sheet. The student should be placed on the weekly progress report (Appendix E) for a three-week period. After the third infraction (of the same offense) in the same quarter, then the teacher will refer the student for grade level team intervention where a student/parent conference should occur. If after the team intervention another infraction occurs (of the same offense) in the same quarter, then the referral will advance to the counselor for individualized intervention. At the sixth occurrence of the same infraction (within the same quarter), an office referral is appropriate. Increasing Positive Interactions and Interventions: Classroom teachers know the value of time, feel the pressure to improve the quality of education, and want to get back the countless hours of time spent on disciplinary problems. The plan with PBIS includes consistent documentation by every classroom teacher and the use of team members as intervention. Incident reports clearly define the sequence of interactions/interventions that should happen prior to administrative action. The goal is to incorporate more interventions as opposed to more punitive, non-teaching consequences. Any interaction involves initially issuing verbal instruction, followed perhaps by verbal clarification. If the student defies the verbal instruction, a verbal reprimand (warning) will be issued giving the student a choice to follow the instruction or a behavioral intervention will be assigned. Examples of appropriate intervention used by teachers to correct inappropriate behavior include seat changes, mandatory parent contact, classroom 6

7 detention, written assignment, loss of privileges, counseling, and/or other intervention. Students receiving multiple interventions will be held accountable and his/her actions could lead to a major referral. Students who are sent to the office but who have not been issued the correct intervention channels will be sent back to class. Tardies: When a student is tardy to class, classroom implementations should be in place. This is a guideline for tardies in order to provide interventions before the matter becomes uncontrollable. First Offense: Verbal Warning from teacher Second Offense: Student writes a narrative for the teacher to indicate why he/she was tardy Third Offense: Student will draw teacher a map outlining the most effective route Fourth Offense: Student stands for the period in which the violation occurs; parent is contacted (mandatory) Repeated violations (5+): Student stands for the period in which the violation occurs; teacher assigns a team detention Not Prepared for Class: Recognizing that there will be times when students may forget to bring needed materials (paper, writing utensil, etc.) to class, the teacher can issue the materials needed as appropriate so as not to create a stall in learning and teaching. Students may be required to provide collateral for the use of these items. PBS is a proactive approach meant to prevent negative behaviors from occurring. It is a team effort home and school that will make this framework a success. It requires a different mindset and approach to handling negative behaviors that has proven successful in school districts nationwide. Classroom Management Strategies Set up your room to be student-friendly. Arrange desks for easy teacher access to all students. Instead of sitting at a desk during instruction, teachers should walk and wander around the room. During instruction challenging students should not be in the corner or back of the room, but within two to three feet of the teacher. Proximity and eye contact work wonders for increasing positive student behavior. Keep students on task with instructional activities at least 90% or more during academic classes (effective teachers know that unstructured time or down time cause problems). o Include Bell Ringers into your daily routine o Visually display state standard being taught for the day Reward all students who are following procedures in a positive way with praise, note or phone call home, privileges, field trips; or tangible incentives like raffle tickets, small incentives, etc. Post a daily schedule in an obvious place and follow it. Students need to know the daily routine. Teach students the expectations for each and every activity. Never assume that a student will know what you expect from them. Look for classroom-tested resources to motivate and manage challenging students. Positive reinforcement strategies are excellent for boosting good behavior and learning. Use intervention strategies when misbehaviors occur such as: classroom detentions, written assignment, change student seat, verbally correct, loss of classroom privileges, team time out, other adult intervention or mentor, and/or parent contact. Speak with other staff members who have worked with a challenging student. Find out what interventions have worked best for them. Collaborate. 7

8 Handling Infractions of Behavioral Expectations Major Major Incident Behaviors include: Weapons Fighting or Aggressive physical contact Chronic Minor Incidents (6+) Aggressive Language Threats Harassment Major Dishonesty Truancy Smoking Vandalism Alcohol Drugs Gambling Arson Bomb threat, false alarm Major Incident Behaviors should be referred to the office immediately. Teachers will complete an office referral to accompany the student. Consequences for students who engage in major incident behaviors will include removal from the classroom and/or school for a period of time. Major infractions that inhibit learning will be handled according to the Progressive Discipline policy. An administrator will notify parents of consequences if such action is necessary. 8
