Proactive (Antecedent) Strategies

Increase Academic Engaged (Learning) Time

Three basic components: the percentage of the day scheduled for

academics (should be at least 70%) on-task time of the student (should be at

least 85%) success of the student when

academically engaged (should be at least 80%)

Clear expectations established and visible in the classroom

Components of the school-wide PBS plan Use of Pre-correction

Antecedent intervention that aims to reduce predictable problem behaviors and increase appropriate replacement behaviors through the daily review of setting specific rules prior to being released into that setting or beginning a new activity.

Classroom Management

How can this be accomplished? (Prevention?)

Using appropriate instructional strategies.•Deciding whether to group students based

on ability or other special characteristic.Being invested in your own job (e.g., “You

have to like them.”

Active Supervision

Scanning – examining the area for rule followers and rule violators

Moving – consistently traveling around the room where problems are more likely to occur

Interacting – initiating brief prosocial interactions with students (e.g., brief praise)

Classroom Management

Factors for grouping: Consider the “Good” and “Bad” aspects Should be based on purpose of the lesson Members of “lowest” group need special

attention Teachers need to be “managers” of groups

Consider time factors, explicitly stated rules, & the size of group

Teachers often dilute the effectiveness of their instructions by:

presenting instructions as questions or polite requests.

Commands have less impact when stated as questions or requests, because the student may believe that he or she has the option to decline. The teacher who attempts, for example, to quiet a talkative student by saying, "Tanya, could you mind keeping your voice down so that other students can study?" should not be surprised if the student replies, "No, thank you. I would prefer to talk!"

stating instructions in vague terms.

A student may ignore a command such as "Get your work done!" because it does not state specifically what behaviors the teacher expects of the student.

following up instructions with excessive justifications or explanations.

Because teachers want to be viewed as fair, they may offer long, drawn-out explanations for why they are requiring the class or an individual student to undertake or to stop a behavior. Unfortunately, students can quickly lose the thread the explanation and even forget the command that preceded it!

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 28: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

28

However, effective instructions

can often increase the probability that student will comply by 50% or greater.

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 29: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

29

Effective Instructions are brief. Students can process only so much information.

Students tend to comply best with brief commands because they are easy to understand and hard to misinterpret.

are delivered one task or objective at a time. When a command contains multi-step directions, students can mishear, misinterpret, or forget key steps. A student who appears to be noncompliant may simply be confused about which step in a multi-step directive to do first!

are given in a matter-of-fact, businesslike tone. Students may feel coerced when given a command in an authoritarian, sarcastic, or angry tone of voice. For that reason alone, they may resist the teacher's directive. Teachers will often see greater student compliance simply by giving commands in a neutral or positive manner.

Page 30: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

30

Effective Instructions

are stated as directives rather than questions. Perhaps to be polite, teachers may phrase commands as questions (e.g., "Could we all take out our math books now?"). A danger in using 'question-commands' is that the student may believe that he or she has the option to decline! Teachers should state commands as directives, saving questions for those situations in which the student exercises true choice.

avoid long explanations or justifications. When teachers deliver commands and then tack lengthy explanations onto them, they diminish the force of the directive. If the teacher believes that students should know why they are being told to do something, a brief explanation should be delivered prior to the command.

give the student a reasonable amount of time to comply. Once the teacher has given a command, he or she should give the student a reasonable time span (e.g., 5-15 seconds) to comply. During that waiting period, the teacher should resist the temptation to nag the student, elaborate on the request, or other wise distract the student.

Basic Premise

Resistance and poor motivation are not student characteristics, they are student cognitions and behaviors and are subject to interpersonal influence. Teachers can (and do) drive resistance levels up and down dramatically by the behavioral responses they choose in the face of resistance and apathy.

Classroom Instruction

Tier 2: Focused Supplemental Instruction

Tier 3: Intensive interventions specifically designed to meet the individual needs of students

You’ve seen this before for Academics… It’s the same for BEHAVIOR.

What are teachers doing for ALL students to provide quality instruction for behaviors?

Tier 1: Academic

Do we recognize that we have many students who do not have enriched environments with language and help from home with homework and other academic tasks?

YES

For some of these students, we realize that additional work must be done to teach these skills.

Tier 1: Behavior

Do we recognize that we have many students who do not have enriched environments with social skills and help from home with behavioral difficulties?

YES

For some of these students, we realize that additional work must be done to teach the appropriate skill.

Page 43: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

43

What Are We Doing Now For Behavior?

Where is TIER 1? What instruction for behaviors are we providing to ALL students? Are we teaching appropriate behaviors and HOW are we teaching them?

Not reviewing rules a few times and then providing consequences when they are not followed

ALSO, does demonstration of mastery one time means that the skill will be used 100% of the time and no longer needs practice?

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 44: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

44

TIER 1 for Behavior is Positive Behavior Supports (also called Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports)

What does it look like and how is it done?

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 45: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

45

What is Tier 1 for behavior (PBIS)?

PBIS is a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students.

(Sugai, 2004)

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 46: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

46

PBIS is… Not specific practices or curriculum…

it’s a general approach to preventing problem behavior

Not limited to any particular group of students…it’s for all students

Not new…it’s based on a long history of behavioral practices and effective instructional design and strategies

(Sugai, 2004)

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 47: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

47

PBIS addresses:

High rates of problem behavior Ineffective and punitive discipline

procedures Lack of staff support and cohesion Negative school climate High use of crisis/reactive

management procedures

Messages!

1. Successful Individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or schools that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable

2. Learning & teaching environments must be redesigned to increase the likelihood of behavioral & academic success

(Sugai, 2004)

Benefits of a good Tier 1

Fewer students in Tier 2 with individual interventions.

Teachers spending less time correcting minor offenses that may or may not lead to an office referral!!! Resulting in more instruction time!

“I like workin’ at school.”

After implementing PBS, a Principal in Connecticut reports that teacher absences dropped from 414 (2002-2003) to 263 (2003-2004).

GROUP COST BENEFIT: Administrators

Office Referral Reduction across several schools using PBS = 2000

If one referral = 15 minutes of administrator time, then

2000x15 = 30,000 minutes

500 hours or 71 seven-hour school days of administrator time recovered

and reinvested.

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 68: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

68

GROUP COST BENEFIT: Instruction

Office Referral Reduction across a district using PBS = 2000

If students miss approximately 30 minutes of instruction for each office

referral then

2000x30 = 60,000 minutes

1000 hours or 142 seven-hour school days of instruction time recovered!!!

Page 69: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

69

What could a reduction of ISS and OSS mean?

Let’s just say… One school has 75 referrals

resulting in ISS and 25 resulting in OSS ODR (for each referral) = 30 minutes ISS = 2 days of no instruction (some

kids get 1 day, some may get 3) OSS = 3 days of no instruction (some

getting anywhere from 1-9 days) 216 minutes of instruction per day

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 70: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

70

What could a reduction of ISS and OSS mean?

Current loss of instruction 51,600 minutes 860 hours 123 7-hour

school days

If we could just reduce the number of referrals that result in either ISS or OSS by 1/3 we could save

approximately 41 days of instruction!

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 71: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

71

What if the teacher doesn’t send the student to the office?

Let’s just say…Teacher A corrects his/her students approximately 20 times per day

Spends approximately 30 seconds per correction.

20x30 = 600 seconds = 10 minutes per day

10 minutes x 180 days = 1800 minutes of lost instruction time!!!

“We found some minutes?”

After reducing their office discipline referrals from 400 to 100, middle school students requiring individualized, specialized behavior intervention plans decreased from 35 to 6.

Step 2: Procedures for Teaching Expectations

Pre-teaching skills DAILY Skill Review: first 15 minutes of the school

day Design brief lessons to teach the rules by:

Teaching the skill Providing examples and non-examples Conducting Activities: Role playing, modeling,

performance feedback Teach in the moment!

Page 85: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

85

Pre-Teaching ExampleSkill: Getting help (How to ask for assistance for difficult tasks)

Example: If you don’t understand the directions of your assignment, raise your hand and wait for the teacher to call on you.

Non-example: If you don’t understand the directions of your assignment, yell out to the teacher to come help you.

Activities: 1. Ask 2-3 students to give an example of a time when they needed help.2. Ask students to indicate or show how they can get help3. Encourage and support appropriate discussion (PRAISE AND FEEDBACK!!)

After the lesson: During the Day

1. Just before giving students difficult or new task, direction, or activity, ask them to tell you how they could get help if they have difficulty (Pre-teaching!)

2. When you see students having difficulty with a task (e.g., off-task, complaining) ask them to indicate that they need help (Reminder!)

3. Whenever a student gets help the correct way, provide specific PRAISE to the student.

anywhere in the school building, teacher delivers “Token”.

Class-wide Response to Appropriate Behavior

Fill up the jar! Each class will have 2 jars. For

appropriate behavior, the class as a whole, and individuals will have the opportunity to fill the jar.

When the jar is filled…everything stops…Class reward…

88

Fill Up The Jar: Logistics

What to place in the jar? Marbles Beans

How can they earn the opportunity to fill the jar? ANY instance of appropriate behavior (group

or individual) What is the reward?

Class votes Reinforcer Pool (Choose a few different ideas,

write them down and put in a box. When the class earns the reinforcer, pick from the box)

Fill Up The Jar: Example

Class walks in from recess quietly, and sits down at desks.

Teacher: I love the way this class came in so quietly and sat in your chairs ready to learn! Let’s fill up the jar! (Place a marble, jelly bean, etc.) into the jar so the class can see.

Teacher: Great job class! We are getting closer to filling up the jar and earning a reward! Excellent work!

Acknowledge & Recognize

Page 92: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

92

When? Daily! Students may only get to turn in the

tokens every 9 weeks, but they are acknowledged daily for their appropriate behavior.

Why reward students for things they should do anyway? Just because they “should” doesn’t

mean they do or they have the appropriate skills.

Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education

Page 93: Copyright © 2008 Mississippi Department of Education Classroom and Behavior Management 1

93

Why?

Reinforcement – a stimulus that will increase the future probability of the behavior.

Football players work for stars on their helmets

Adults work for rewards and praise… They just don’t need it as frequently.

What about the teachers?

Apply principles to adult behavior! Regularly acknowledge staff behavior “G.O.O.S.E.” (Get Out Of School Early)

Or “arrive late” Procedures

Kids/staff nominate Kids/staff reward, then pick

Developing Habits

The goal is for students to develop positive behavior habits.

Some students will also have to get rid of bad habits.

Simple habits can be developed in 14-21 days (e.g., remembering to wash hands).

More difficult habits can take several months to a year before you get a final result, especially if a current habit must be replaced!
