Why Students Struggle

Three Broad Rules: Respectful, Ready, & Responsible

-These are implemented in each part of our

day and in each part of our school. -For example: arrival, in our classroom,

rotation, in the cafeteria, dismissal, etc.

The Critical Features of Positive Behavior Supports

Teaching Respectful, Ready, & Responsible

-daily discussions -read books -role play in different settings -video modeling: appropriate &

inappropriate -create social scripts

The Critical Features of Positive Behavior Supports

Reinforce and recognize rule following behavior

-”Catch” your students following the rules -Positive talk and gestures such as “give yourself a

pat on the back” -Give tokens or points as a reward -Power cards and belts using favorite character -Replacement behaviors -Self-monitoring checklist -Give privileges like extra computer time (individual)

and Fun Friday (whole class)

The Critical Features of Positive Behavior Supports

Procedures for addressing rule violations

-Correcting behaviors in private, not in public

-For minor infractions, use phrases such as, “Try it again the right way.” In the occasion when a student forgets to raise her/his hand, say, “Set it up the right way.”

-For major infractions, use private student conferences with reflection sheets.
