- go to “The Janssen Way” link for access to:lessons, matrix, pictures, videos, blog

At first – we weren’t sure of which way to go - and how!

- Summer book study – we wanted a TOOL BOX of classroom interventions

- August PBIS Classroom Management training – contained intervention components and the essential foundation.

- Projected the 3 components over the year. (expectations, acknowledgement, consequences).

Year one of Classroom ImplementationYear two of PBIS

A SUPPORTED FORMAT IS IMPORTANT: Monthly staff Meetings - 30 minutes on third Wednesday at 3:40 PM during contract hours. Presentation with discussion in small groups, processing questions, then sharing out, ticket to leave, brainstorm, etc.

Grade level team meetings 1-2 times monthly.application, discussion, problem solving, data collection.

Janssen Way/PBIS whole team meetings monthly.Sub-committees meet monthly on alternating weeks.

Sequence and use of on-line module and related resources

August – PBIS training in classroom management and summer book study by a few PBIS committee members. Used book: How to Reach and Teach children with Challenging Behaviors by Kaye Otten

September: Part I – Rules and Routines.- Staff Meeting: Overview of Classroom Matrix and examples

and blank template. (adapted to Janssen) -Grade level meetings to discuss expectations whiles maintaining individuality of each teacher. Getting attention shared out.

October: Staff meeting: - Took Self-reflection survey (module 1) and shared learning

needs in small group. - Prompting post matrix in all rooms this Month. Examples of

routines posters presented. Coach walk-through.

November:- Staff Meeting: Take SAS. Ticket to leave concerns and ideas

on the classroom matrix. SAS results show concern about consistency in response to behaviors by adm and staff.

- Data Collection: Team collaboration assignment to compile current effective strategies for specific behavior concerns.

- Guest teacher presents CHAMPS (book by Randy Spricks) on classroom management. Voluntary meeting before school (with treats). Good resource book with CD of clip-art Icons.

December: Part II – Acknowledgement

Staff meeting:- Power point presentation on Group Contingencies – introduction only. Brief discussion of current use in classes by teachers. Dojo example presented.

- TOOLS: “Taking a break” and “Delivering Positives” sent to all staff and placed in “Tools” file on group server. Discussion encouraged at grade level.

January: Staff meeting: (Friday – 1.5 hour)- “Guess which group contingency” power point game with discussion/debate. (Created from online search)

- Introduction and handout on Continuum of Reinforcers (Immediate, intermittent, long-term) along with a list of examples compiled by the committee (modified module page).

- Teachers given a compilation of strategies derived from their grade-level teams this fall.

- Data Collection: Collaboration assignment given to identify strategies of interest or concern this spring.

- All staff took “Forced Choice Reinforcement menu” and shared their preference voluntarily. Good activity to highlight our different motives. (easy to find on-line)

February: Part III – Consequence systems

Staff meeting – power point on Corrective feedback and Continuum of response strategies. (created using module content as outline)

- Meeting activity: to write a response strategy continuum for an example behavior working in small groups (from module).

- Continuum strategies worksheets available as to practice. (from module)

- TOOL: Teams given “Think sheet” examples and asked to develop their own problem solving sheets per grade level. (From on-line search of examples).

March:

- Grade level teams: Asked to read about and review video on Intentional ignoring sent to all staff. (adapted from pbis world.org)

Staff Meeting: - Consequence Options (3.3a) and Teaching consequenceList (3.3c) from module given to staff.

- TOOL: Intentional Ignoring round-robin activity and discussion. - TOOL: Behavioral Contracts: Introduction and handout on contracting with students and parents. (created from web search)

- Functions of Behavior (ABCs): Handout for individual reading (from Reach and Teach book: Kaye Otten)

April and May:- Staff meetings brief: Focus on maintaining, supporting and

using correction continuum.

- BOQ taken and reflects improvement in available strategies for behavior concerns.

- TOOL BOX of strategies developing!

- Staff Feedback activity – staff meeting

- (Notes: Have SWIS data system in place. Too late to explore FBA - move to next year. Also Level II coming)

LEARNED: - Commitment to structure, resources, time, and administrative

support is essential.- Look around, borrow, use experience of others.

that you do – it is the plate on which all else sits. Wisconsin Character Education Partnership http://wicharacter.org/

WHATS NEXT?:- Stick to the basics: “Less is more”.- Use our data, data, data, for staff and student needs. - Keep adding to our behavior strategies (TOOLS)- Developing new handbook to centralize materials - Initiating Level II in 2013/2014 beginning with CICO
