PBIS Classroom Lessons MHMS Goal: Create a learning environment where kids: 1. Recognize appropriate behaviors 2. Assume responsibility for their behaviors
Data and teacher feedback was that classroom disruption was the biggest concern.
Lessons: On-task and Off-task Behavior and Goal Setting A. Observations 6 th, 7 th and 8 th graders know what on-task and off-task behaviors are; Some kids understand that poor behaviors are habits; Kids know how to set a positive behavior goal, BUT they do not know how to create steps to achieve it.
Lessons: On-task and Off-task Behavior and Goal Setting B. Future lessons Teach kids how to create practical steps to achieve a behavior goal
When creating a positive school climate, school-wide lessons need to be founded in and monitored by data and student/teacher feedback.
