Resource: Incredible Teachers by Carolyn Webster-Stratton, PH D
Chapter 8,9,10 & IYT Workshop 6.7.17

 Behavior Planning 
This involves a functional behavior assessment, creating and reviewing a plan for a child who has ongoing challenges which a highly challenging behavior. 

 Template
1,Behaviour challenges (be specific, incl timing and frequency)
2.Desired behaviour (positive opposite of the current challenge)
3. Proactive strategies
(Coaching, relationship, specific praise, incentives for desired behaviour, deliberate ignoring)
4. Planned consequences if required (only use when proactive strategies aren’t taking effect).
Consequences must be logical and natural e.g. time away from the activity. 
5. Parent input and ideas
6. Re-evaluation date and review.
Plan next steps e.g. to slowly remove incentives; plans for student self-evaluation


Key points:
* The behavior may grow worse before it gets better. Be patient and continue following the plan. 
* The behavior plan is to help build the child's self-regulation, which does take time. 
* Model, role play and explicitly praise positive social behaviors e.g. letting someone go first, being calm
* Use positive forecasting for desired behaviors, e.g. "I will see the children moving silently..." etc
* Consider using a calm down thermometer to self reflect on their state
* Ignore acting out during time out, unless behavior is unsafe
* Teacher decides when child comes out of time out. The focus is on re-initiating the child into learning as soon as possible. Avoid long follow-up conversations (but do provide for restorative chat after learning, if required)
* Is using time out, try and keep it private, consider the Compass of Shame

Teaching As Inquiry : Maths

By Anonymous
Stages of Inquiry ( Spirals of Inquiry ) Scanning Focusing  Developing a Hunch New Learning-and Reflecting on our Action Checking Term 3, Week 1-3, 2020 Scanning & Focusing Our team is working together to establish an engaging and varied maths programme for our students, which combines the following elements: * Concept * Inquiry * Warm-up * Independent tasks (informed by Rob Proffitt-White - see slide 6 ) We reflected and discussed maths learning at length as a whole team and began our Team Inquiry . Within this, we have formed teaching partnerships with one other, so we can focus more closely on each individual student. Amber and Lisa began co-planning and teaching, and then shared their planning process with the team in Term 3, week 3. Katie, my teaching partner and I, have developed our own similar plan, using their basis. Term 3, Week 4-6, 2020 Developing a Hunch Katie and I are working together, and collaboratively planning maths for all our students. We decided to meet f...

Legal Definitions from Guidance for New Zealand Schools on Behaviour Management to Minimise Physical Restraint (Oct 2016) Physical restraint is when staff use their own body to deliberately limit the movement of the student.

Reflections on Term 3, Week 1 -2

By Anonymous
W1  What is helping students engage? What should I keep doing? *Talk partners (Sheena Cameron workshop) *Think time *Asking all children to be ready with an answer, allowing think time/pair share and then calling on children (reducing the hands up; more children are participating) *Asking children to repeat what the last person said = improved listening across both hubs *Idea sharing and planning with hub colleague = agreed trial of flipped timetable; writing motivations and record system for self-directed reading activities W2 My next steps * Using growth mindset statements - i.e. stating behaviour rather than using well done, fantastic, great etc....I am noticing more when I do this, and getting better at stating behaviour *Challenge of noise - talking table signs; noise monitor actively used; bells to signal that I need students' attention *Reading - Feeding back / sharing great work at the end of reading - children to lead this. I am interested to see if this will inc...
