How will we get there?
1. A metaphor and review2. Non-classroom definition and

A metaphor for the work:
How is managing non-classroom settings like tending a garden?

Non-classroom Problem Behavior Examples
• Crowding at stairs and in hallways• Fighting at lunchtime• Teasing on the playground• Pushing in the halls before school• Leaving a mess in the lunchroom
• Particular times or places where supervision is emphasized– Cafeteria, hallways, playgrounds, bathrooms– Buses & bus loading zones, parking lots– Study halls, library, “free time”– Assemblies, sporting events, dances
• Where instruction is not available as a behavior management tool
Non-classroom Settings
Classroom vs. Non-classroom
• Classroom– Teacher directed– Instructionally focused– Small # of predictable
students
• Non-classroom– Student focused– Social focus– Large # of unpredictable
students

At your table can you agree and explain you position?
Classroom or Non-classroom?1. Lunchtime in the cafeteria
2. Class field trip to the theater
3. School library with 3 teachers and their students
4. Bus loading

Basic Management Considerations
Basic Management Practices
• Physical/environmental arrangements
• Routines and expectations
• Staff behavior and practices
• Student behavior
• Teach directly expected behaviors and routines in context
• Actively supervise (scan, move, interact)
• Pre-correct and remind
• Positively reinforce expected behavior

Routinesand
Expectations
Students are ready to leave when buses are called.
Stay with the class until bus is called.
Walk quietly with staff to bus.
Sit in assigned seat quietly.
Keep hands and feet to yourself.
Follow all staff instructions.
Dismissal Routine
Entering the Cafeteria
• Each class is assigned a specific time to go the cafeteria (e.g. 11:00, 11:04, 11:08). This eliminates long lines and substantially reduces disruptive behaviors.
• An enter and exit traffic pattern is followed. Students bringing their own lunch go directly to their assigned table.
• All students are assigned seats.
• A cup is placed on the table for the first 5 minutes, indicating no talking to ensure lunch is eaten. Aides keep time so cups are removed after 5 minutes.
• 5 minute timers are also placed on the tables, so students can monitor how long they need to stay quiet.
Routine1.Walk into assembly quietly.2.Stay with your class.3.Sit in one spot during assembly.4.Keep hands and feet to yourself.5.Quiet mouth6.Clap appropriate.7.Leave quietly with your class.
Assembly Routine
Where could routines help your school?
Teach directly expected
routines in context
1.Discuss steps to routine and guide students through each.
2.Write the steps as discussed.3.Review sequence of routine.4.Copy icons and have the students
write a sentence to form a book of routines. (maybe a guided writing activity?)
Teaching ExamplesExample:
• A student follows the steps to the cafeteria routine.
Non examples: • A student goes in the “out”
door.• A student jumps ahead of
others in line.• A student is loud in the
cafeteria.
After the LessonRemind the students of the routine before leaving the classroom and while in the cafeteria.
5. Role play routine in class, and practice the routine.
6. Teacher role play and make mistakes so the students can verbally correct.
7. Show icon and have the students label the step.
8. Cut the sentence from the icon, and play memory matching icon to sentence.
9. Make two copies of icons and play memory.
10.Discuss how to be safe, be respectful, and be cooperative in the cafeteria.
11. State expectation and have student state if it is safe, respectful, or cooperative.

How could you teach non-classroom routines at your
school?
Precorrect and Remind
Precorrection
Identify & analyze setting in which problem behavior is most likely to occur.• Behavior triggers & function of behaviors• Expected & acceptable behaviors
PrecorrectionBefore•Modify setting•Check-in w/ student•(Re)teach & remind•Reinforce•Re-direct
PrecorrectionDuring•Monitor & reinforce•Re-direct
After•Reinforce •Revise, (re)teach, remind
Positively reinforce expected behavior
Polar Table Tunes Is Here!
Do you like music?
Do you like lunch?
Do you like music at lunch?
Try “Polar Table Tunes.”
Here’s how it works.
Each day, after lunch, the cafeteria is checked for clean tables.
After 5 days of 100% clean tables, we get music.
It’s that simple! Let’s show how Polars can take care of their space, and get music, too.

“Approximating Results”
• Is your recognition system working?
• What non-classroom location or behavior could be targeted with your recognition system?
• Would a location-specific recognition system help?
• What data can you collect to monitor your recognition efforts?
For Your Consideration
Actively Supervise
Critical features & essential practices
Did I scan frequently ?
• Head up• Make eye contact• Overt body position
Did I move continuously throughout area?
• Obvious• Positive
• Interactive• Be Unpredictable
Active Supervision Training Sample
Did I positively interact with most students?
• Variety of interaction types– Social positives & acknowledging School-wide
behavior expectation• Variety of students• Quick• Noticeable• Publicly appropriate
Teachers report that when students are greeted by an adult in the morning, it takes less time to complete morning routines & get the first lesson started.
“Good morning”
Did I handle minor rule violations
efficiently?• Quickly• Privately• Neutrally• Follow-up with positive
• Individualized• Informative• Sincere
Did I positively acknowledge at least 5 different students for
displays of School-wide expectations?
• Have more positive student contacts than negative
• Use variety of contact forms
• For example: smile, handshake, greeting, etc.
Did I have at least 4 positive contacts for each negative
student contact?

• Who needs to get trained?
• Who will do the training?
• When will the training occur?
• How will you train them?
• How will active supervision be monitored to make sure it is occurring?
For Your Consideration
• Individually complete the Supervision Self-assessment (p.82) . Discuss results with your team.
• Update your team action plan to train staff on Active supervision. Please include:• Method of training• Materials needed• Personnel needed to do the training• Any available data (Big 5?) that might
inform you training• Prepare to share your progress with
others
