A set of simple ideas for positive systems to reinforce appropriate behaviour in junior setting

Pathways to Success is a simple reflective sheet It begins at the bottom of the page and moves upward through each question. The crux is to focus on whether the student made a feelings decision or a thinking decision. The point to be made that acting without thinking can lead to consequences the student does not intend. Whereas thinking decisions though difficult can lead the student to attain better long term outcomes. Work with a student to brainstorm a range of thinking interventions so that when under stress they have a simple strategy they can try.

This framework is a simple intervention planning grid that illustrates a range of options to approach disengaged behaviour. It incorporates a number of known effective approaches such as cues to the work of Rogers and key statements that function to open pathways communication to the frustrated student.

Looking for a process beyond class rules with a hierarchy of consequences and rewards. Are you looking for a framework that takes the class on a journey of purpose and clear and explicit understandings of behaviour and pathways that define educator decision making to manage it? Levels of Behaviour moves beyond compliance towards true behaviour engagement and clear purpose. Where behaviour is disruptive Levels of Behaviour provides for a clear and informed framework for a response plan that is explicitly defined with students and supports them on the pathway to positive engagement in the classroom. Begin with the resource Levels of Behaviour Handbook, it will clearly explain the simple elements of the framework. All other resources are supplementary - poster pdf's that are used to support the program and provide for samples to build your own frameworks. Levels of Behaviour can be implemented within the class setting within 3-5 sessions of 30 minutes and then referred to as a class and student support as required.

Do you need to mediate episodes of escalation with a student in your class? This planning format is a simple risk management format that has embedded dynamic risk assessment (yellow/orange/red) and contains an example of a least to most response hierarchy that provides for a range of responses to safely manage the episode at the earliest intervention point possible. It incorporates some of the suggested Team Teach practices including a focus on adult response protocols. It is strongly recommended that the plan format is modified to suit planning and options available in your setting and is modified to fit staff skill sets, training and accomodations available.

Timed observation recording sheet for conducting observations on student behaviour as an obswerver-recorder in class setting

These resources show a simple system to support student compliance by 1 Breaking or chunking larger tasks into smaller tasks 2 Recognising completion of tasks with a positive social incentive in that the individual student's achievements and success with compliance lead to a whole of class reward- gets great social cohesion and peer power to work to support compliance. Done well it works brilliantly.

Proforma for timed observation in playground to report and problem solve on maladaptive behaviour patterns.

A visual used to structure choice parameters-to be used with a student either privately or publically. It functions to explicitly show decision making and can be incorporated with wait time to assist students to make effective decisions and reduce attempts at manipulation. Please leave a review to tell us how it did or didn't work in your setting. Ta

A flowchart I use to map out the behavioural choices and pathways that result from choices-can be used as a tool to assist decision making with an agitated student but obviously teach first at calm and then use as a tool when the student is triggered/agitated and capable of communication. Let me know what you think-would love the feedback-if people want more I have plenty of these formats
