TRANSCRIPT
Learning Goal
Teachers will understand the importance of developing/strengthening self-regulation skills and creating a school family.
Evidence
4 I can explain to my administrator, paraprofessional, and parents the importance of developing/strengthening self-regulation skills and creating a school family
I can explain during pre-conference with administrator, meetings/trainings with parents, discussion with paraprofessional
3 I implement activities to develop/strengthen self-regulation skills and create a school family consistently throughout the school day
I understand the importance of these activities and know children must be taught these skills as they would any other
2 I am somewhat familiar with the concept of self-regulation and creating a school family and I try to use some strategies but not consistently
I use strategies when I think of it or in moments of crisis
1 I am not familiar with the concepts of self-regulation and creating a school family
I’ve heard the terms in trainings or from other teachers but I’m not really sure of their importance/impact on children in my class
Building Classroom Connections
based on the work of Dr. Becky Baileywww.consciousdiscipline.com
presented by: Andrea Dunckel
Conscious Discipline is an evidence based comprehensive social-emotional learning and
classroom management program based on current brain research.
Conscious Discipline empowers adults to consciously respond to daily conflict, transforming it into an opportunity to teach critical life skills to
children.

Don’t wait, use your progress monitoring results now!
• Analyze your class data.• Look at the corresponding age range on the full BDI-2
protocol and see what skills the child is missing. • Look at your class as a whole-are there any patterns?
(Example: No one knows their phone numbers).• Use the screener as a tool to HELP you. Change what is
not working. Add instruction to fill in the gaps.
Indicator 8/ESE Parent Survey
State of Florida and Orange County did not meet this indicator.
• One of the main downfalls was parents reported they were not receiving information about community resources, trainings and information.
• PULSE conference is February (February 21, 2015) for parents and educators to attend. We gave several of our OCPS teachers presenting. This is a great opportunity for parents to gain strategies for their home and make connections with community resources. Teachers will benefit as well. We will be sending the flyer soon.
PULSE (Parents United with Leaders, Students, and Educators)
Vroom
Every parent has what it takes to be a brain builder.
Vroom turns shared moments into brain-building moments. Whether it’s mealtime, bath time, or anytime in between, there
are always ways to nurture our children's growing minds.
