Transcription

1 Wallace Elementary School PBIS Positive Behavior Support is a school-wide program for helping all students achieve important social and learning goals. As part of the P.B.I.S. program, we have established clear rules and expectations for the behaviors we expect in all areas of our school. We have and will continue to teach those expectations to the students and frequently reward them with positive notes and prizes for their great behavior. The expectations for all student behaviors are clear throughout the building. We will apply consistent consequences and positive reinforcement for all kids. By detailing every expected behavior and teaching them to kids in a positive way, we will provide a common language for everyone in our building, including staff and students alike. Positive Rewards Kindergarten & First Grade- 10/20 Popsicle Sticks get Little/Big treasure chest visit. Second through Fifth Grades- Green Paws get 20 weekly drawings that select from the Box of Bull Pup Bones (Wii Time, Gym or playground time, itunes card, Happy Meal from McDonalds, ipad or computer time, Principal for the Day, Lunch with Principal, Lunch with staff member of student choice, Wal-Mart Gift Card, or Pizza with 2 friends without bounces). Kindergarten through Fifth Grades- Per Quarter: Homeroom without any bounces choice of Ice Cream Social, Wii party, Extra Recess or Playground time, or Silly String the teacher/principal. Per Quarter: School-wide students without bounces get movie and popcorn in the gym. Consequences Individual Classroom Teacher determines PBIS system in their room (i.e. moving clips or clothespins; Red, Yellow, Green, or Blue Charts). Once behavior moves past that system Warning, Redirection, Take Space, Bounce, and Classroom Referral. Incidents that violate administrative rules result in immediate Office Referral. Each classroom has a buddy classroom for Bounces.

7 PBIS Lesson Plans: Hallway- Begin by discussing ways to be responsible, safe, respectful, and kind in hallways. Refer back to matrix to compare the students answers to what the school matrix says.give examples and non- examples and have the students give reasons for why it is an example or non- example. Have students role play the examples. Example: Taylor saw some art work on the bulletin board that had really cool glitter on it. She REALLY wanted to feel the glitter! She remembered the teacher had asked her to follow directions and keep her hands to her side in the hallway, so Taylor just looked at the glitter. It was really pretty! Nonexample: (ONLY the Teacher role- plays non- examples): Tina and Julie were doing the Wee Delivery for the day. They talked loudly as they gathered the mail and took it to the classrooms. Ms. Heath had to shut her classroom door. Example: Gus was walking by himself down the hallway on his way back to class. Even though he was by himself, he walked in the walk zone. Nonexample (ONLY the Teacher role- plays non- examples): There were some really cool snowman art work on the bulletin board so Sam touched them to feel if they were soft. Example: Ann s class was walking to music which is Ann s favorite class. So Ann walked quietly so she could get to music and sing! Nonexample: (ONLY the Teacher role- plays non- examples): Tommy really liked the school secretary so when his class walked by her office, he shouted, Hi! The secretary was on the telephone. Non- example (ONLY the Teacher role- plays non- examples): As his class was walking to lunch, Calvin saw his sister in her classroom. He stopped and called her name. Calvin interrupted his sister s learning and caused his line to get backed up. This was not compassionate to his sister and his classmates. Example: Lori s class was leaving art and walking back to their classroom. Lori saw her best friend Beth whose class was coming out of the gym. Lori gave Beth a little wave and a smile. List of re- enforcing activities: 1. Have students write their own examples and non- examples 2. Take the students on a walk around the hall to practice the procedures you have just discussed 3. Students can draw a picture of what a perfect BARK hallway would look like 4. Take a picture of your students following being respectful in the hallway, walking and working quietly and following directions. 5. Check with the media specialist to see if there are books that address being respectful in the hallways. 6. Describe and practice an outside voice by holding your arms away from your body. Describe and practice an inside voice by holding your hands together in front of your chest.

8 7. Draw a map of the school and color in red the places where it is expected to walk quietly. Color green where it is OK to run and use an outside voice. 8. Have students repeat the following verbal rehearsal rhyme in unison: When walking down the hall, I ll hold my head straight. When walking down the hall, I ll keep a steady gate. To my side my hands will stay, as I take the shortest way. When around the school I go, I ll keep my voice down low. Repeat the rhyme enough times until the group can perform rehearsal sentences fairly well. 9. Students can create a song to help them remember to BARK in the hallway 10. Make a poster of the steps to following directions and post in the classroom and throughout the building.

Discuss Negative Examples: Wetting hair Standing in a group to get into restroom Leaving paper towels in the sink/throwing paper towels Yelling in the bathroom Practice the Positive Behaviors Check for Understanding -Create a T-chart -Role play

10 Location: Classroom/Library 1. Expectation/Character Ed: Grade Level: K- 5 Be Responsible 2. Definition/Rule (Refer to Matrix) Today we are going to talk about the ways to be BE RESPONSIBLE in the classroom/library. Refer students to the matrix to see what that means. 3. Activities to Enhance Skill Development Ask students to define what BEING RESPONSIBLE means. Shape their responses into observable behaviors (e.g. if they say doing the right thing, ask for examples of doing the right thing that equate to observable skills, such as following directions the first time they are given, coming to school on time, getting pencils sharpened, taking a seat quietly without teachers telling them, doing quality work, turning in homework every day, putting books in the correct place in the library ) Share non- examples with students (e.g. teacher asks you to stop talking but you continue, coming to school late, not having pencils sharpened when class starts, and not taking library card when they go to check out books ) Discuss the importance of these rules in school. 4. Activities to Check for Understanding Have a student explain and give an example of one class rule, Then allow another student to give a non- example of that same rule. 5. Activities to Extend Skill Development Have students role play examples and non- examples with each other. Ask student was he/she BEING RESPONSIBLE? How do you know? 6. Acknowledgements to Maintain Positive Behaviors Use specific verbal praise to let students know exactly which expectation they followed. Reteach and reinforce the rules. Adults will be watching to see if you are BEING RESPONSIBLE in the classroom/library. You may be asked to tell me what you did to BE RESPONSIBLE.

The students will proceed to the playground area where they will be Respectful by being good listeners and follow all directions. The teacher will distribute P.E. equipment in an orderly fashion. Once the students have the equipment or they are at the stationary playground equipment they must be Responsible by using the equipment appropriately, and playing fairly. Students must play Safely by keeping hands feet, and other objects to themselves. They will also be Safe by staying inside the fence. They will stay Safe by not playing too rough. Student Activity: Ask a group of students to discuss the improper way to behave on the playground and a group of students to demonstrate the proper way to play on the playground. Allow students to observe behaviors and discuss differences. Independent Activity: Students will be allowed to play on the playground and the teacher will monitor to see if they understand how to be Responsible, Safe, Respectful, and Kind on the playground. Closure: Teacher can ask students will be asked True or False questions about the proper procedures for playing on the playground. Extension Activities:
