Academic Learning Time There is no doubt that academic learning time –the amount of time that students are actively, successfully, and productively engaged in learning–is a strong determinant of achievement.
Why Focus on Classroom Management? • Increases instructional time by preventing problem behavior. • Frees teachers from correcting misbehavior • Improves classroom climate • Creates shared ownership of the classroom • Develops self-discipline
What “kind” of students can display problematic behavior? Regular Ed ALL Special Ed All students can display problematic behavior This is not a special education issue. It is an education issue.
6 Critical Features of Evidence-based Classroom Management
Evidence Based Practices: Classroom Management 1. Maximize structure in your classroom. 2. Establish and teach expectations. 3. Actively engage students in observable ways. 4. Establish a continuum of strategies to acknowledge appropriate behavior. 5. Establish a continuum of strategies to respond to inappropriate behavior. 6. Use self reflection and behavior data to progress monitor and problem solve

Maximize structure • Develop Predictable Routines – Teacher routines – Student routines • Design environment to (a) elicit appropriate behavior and (b) minimize crowding and distraction: – – Arrange furniture to allow easy traffic flow. Ensure adequate supervision of all areas. Designate staff & student areas. Seating arrangements (groups, carpet, etc. )
Sample Routines • • • Morning Arrival Homework Drop Box Attendance Lunch Count Morning Meeting Work Settings -independent -group -instructional Transitions • End of Day •
Sample Environmental Structures
After Today • Get together with a colleague and identify 3 examples of what routines exist that allow for uninterrupted learning time • Discuss what routines might need to be added in order to maximize time for learning

Social Skills Lesson Plan PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING & EVALUATING Vermont PBIS Universal Training
Practice Behavioral expectations • During classroom routines -Morning Arrival -Work Times -Asking for help -Transitions Vermont PBIS Universal Training
Prompt Behavioral expectations Strategies for Encouraging Positive Behavior Visual Reminders Pre-corrections Provide Choice Strategies for Discouraging Problem Behavior Re-direct Re-teach Conference
Positively Reinforce • Frequent: Acknowledging Expected Behavior Ratio of 6 positives to every negative • Authentic: Connect directly to expectations • During Routines: Morning Meeting, Independent Work, etc Vermont PBIS Universal Training
Progress Monitor Students’ Behavior in Natural Setting • Active Supervision (Colvin, Sugai, Good, Lee, 1997): • Move around • Proximity • Look around (Scan) • Interact with students • Give Acknowledgement • Give Feedback Vermont PBIS Universal Training
Active Supervision: • Allows for provision of immediate learning assistance • Increases student engagement • Reduces inappropriate behavior; increases appropriate behavior • Provides knowledge of students’ use of expectations • Allows for encouragement of those using expectations or appropriate behavior • Allows for timely correction of social behavioral errors • Builds positive adult-student relationships
Active Supervision: While moving and scanning, you will also want to address any inappropriate behavior quickly and calmly, using the continuum of strategies including: 1) ignore/ attend/praise, 2) redirects, 3) reteaching, 4) providing choice, or 5) a student conference.
Active Supervision: Greeting Students: 1. State name 2. Give one positive statement 3. Give explicit instruction
Progress Monitor Students’ Behavior in Natural Setting • Collect data – Are the expectations being followed? – Have negative behaviors decreased? • • If not: who is making errors? where are the errors occurring? what kind of errors are being made? • Summarize data (look for patterns) • Use data to make decisions – Do environmental structures need to be made – Is the instruction effective or does it need to be redesigned?
Planning Behavioral expectations • What will the first few weeks of school look like? • What systems will you develop to prevent problem behavior from occurring? • How will you respond when problem behavior does occur? • How will you collect data on student performance? -academic/behavioral

WE LEARN: 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both see and hear 70% of what is discussed with others 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we TEACH to others William Glasser Vermont PBIS Universal Training

After Today • Meet with a colleague or with your team to discuss what you currently do to ensure engaged time (e. g. , practices to ensure that students are on task, responding frequently, and producing quality work matched to their ability)? MO SW-PBS 325

I provided each student with multiple opportunities to respond and participate during instruction. Yes No 6. My instruction actively engaged students in observable ways (e. g. , writing, verbalizing) Yes No 7. I actively supervised my classroom (e. g. , moving, scanning) during instruction. Yes No 8. I ignored or provided quick, direct, explicit reprimands/redirections in response to inappropriate behavior. Yes No 9. I have multiple strategies/systems in place to acknowledge appropriate behavior (e. g. , class point systems, praise, etc. ). Yes No 1. Actively supervise & precorrect 2.
