Ongoing: Teacher Strategies for Consistent Behavior and Building Relationships:
* Referred to/reinforce posted expectations, celebratory environment
* Referring to/reminding classroom norms/procedures
* Student voice/choice where possible
* Student buy-in consequences
* Narrative Awareness: (3: 1 P: N, “I statements”, intentional tone, inflection, and word choice)
* Intentional Relationship Building Strategies
* Whole class incentives
* “Anticipating needs” plan
* Brain breaks & movement
* Student designed physical space
* Limit unstructured time
* Model desired behavior
Classroom-Managed (minor)
Majority of students:
Simple/Quick
• Attention getters
• Mindful meditation (2nd steps)
• Brain breaks
• Coach speech (challenging
transitions)
• Ask students what is expected
• CHAMPS
More in depth (have plan in place)
• SEL Teachable moments
• Restorative opportunity
• Class Meeting
• Revisit Expectations
• Ask students “why is learning/doing _____important?”
Consider These: Was there a setting event? Do an honest check in about your own current state of being? How can you teach/cover this concept in away that has better buy-in?
Classroom-Managed (minor)
Individual student:
Simple/Quick
• planned ignoring
• discrete redirection
• proximity, moving about
• praise desired behavior, “looking for”
• tangible objects available
• “First”, “then” statements
• Use “I” statements
More in depth (have plan in place)
• hot pass
• finding common ground (personal ex.)
• restorative opportunity (with student?)
• one-on-one conference (away from peers)
Consider: What is the function of the behavior? Attention seeking, escape/avoidance (too hard, too easy), basic needs (safety/security), trauma response, hunger, tangible access, sensory stimulation
What does “Deeper Problem Solving” look like?
If the individual behavior doesn’t decrease in intensity
and/or frequency, do the following:
* Collect/track the data (more is better)
* Complete ODR form
* Talk to previous teacher & Grade level team
* Ask for observation from counselor
* Talk with parent from a place of genuine concern for
child, foremost.
* Communicate student need/data to RTI team
