SEL Competency and Standards Connection
This Kernel supports students in practicing and growing in:
What the Research Says
(2019, Visible Learning 250+ Influences on Student Achievement)
Strong Classroom Cohesion: 0.53 The sense that the teacher and the students are working together toward positive learning goals.
Student Expectations: 0.68 Students have expectations of their performance and outcomes to determine how they intend to invest in an activity.
Feedback: 0.70 Information allowing a learner to reduce the gap between what is evident currently and what could or should be the case.
Self Regulation: 0.52 Self-regulation learners develop skills in motivation, cognition, and metacognition
What’s the Point?
Increases psychological safety and flexibility by promoting student prediction for the appropriate voice, hands, & feet before the activity instead of correcting problem behaviors during the activity.
Students learn to monitor and reflect upon their behavior and generalize appropriate behavior in other settings.
Provides clear voice level expectations.
Increases peace, productivity, health, and happiness for everyone.
How is this Strategy Used by the Teacher?
Clearly and explicitly communicate expectations for voice
Pre-teach, model and practice voice levels
Provide feedback using Cue Cards
Set up learning environment for all students
Use multiple means of representation to communicate expectations
How is the Strategy Used by Students?
Practice different voice levels
Self monitor voice throughout activities
Shift expectations for voice, hands, and feet depending on environment and expectations.
Respond to non verbal feedback
Trauma-Informed, Culturally & Community Responsive
