UNPACKING SELECTING STAFF MANAGED BEHAVIORS
Handouts
1. Inappropriate Behavior Scenarios
TOPIC IN ACTION
Pause & Reflect #1
- How consistently do staff in your building engage in active supervision and provide pre-corrects to students in order to prevent inappropriate behaviors from occurring?
- How will you share information regarding these two preventive strategies with them?
Pause & Reflect #2
Consider the three indirect strategies (Proximity, Signal or Non-Verbal Cue, and Ignore/Attend/Praise)
- Which of these strategies are your staff currently using?
- What techniques do you already use and want to continue?
- What could you add to your repertoire?
- What behavior might you need to eliminate?
- How can you share this with your building staff?
Pause & Reflect #3
Consider the four direct strategies (Re-Direct, Re-Teach, Provide Choice, and Student Conference).
- Which of these strategies are your staff currently using?
- What techniques do you already use and want to continue?
- What could you add to your repertoire?
- What behavior might you need to eliminate?
- How can you share this with your building staff?
Pause & Reflect #4
Read and reflect on each of the inappropriate behaviors provided in the Inappropriate Behavior Scenarios handout.
Answer two questions:
- Which of the techniques or strategies would be best to use for each scenario?
- Why?
Role-play each scene using that selected strategy and your school’s expectations or routines.
Pause & Reflect #5
Review the handout titled Missouri Middle School Discouraging Continuum.
- How will you provide training for your staff on discouraging inappropriate behavior?
- How might you depict your continuum of responses to inappropriate behavior?
- Use the example to guide your discussion and help you build a visual representation of your continuum that you can take back to your staff as a draft for their input.
