Family Engagement Checklist

Engagement

PresenterPresentation NotesAP 2 minsThe checklist indicators can be used by a practitioner to plan intervention sessions with parents and other family members. The checklist rating scale can be used to do a self-evaluation to determine if parents and other family members were actively involved in implementing child or family intervention plans.

Learning LIFTOFF (2015) How Parental Involvement Benefits the Entire Educational Process

PresenterPresentation NotesAP 1min2015 Research from LiftOff on How Parental Involvement Benefits the Entire Educational Process. Looking at the whole child, academically and emotionally and the impact of their education

Family Engagement has a positive effect on student behavior

When Families are involved, students exhibit more positive attitudes and behavior.

When students report feeling support from both home and school, they have more self-confidence, feel school is more3 important, and they tend to do better in school.

What is…

• Proactive framework on teaching expected behaviors at home

• Preventive to stop misbehavior before it happens

• Focuses on the positive rather than the negative

• Founded on the premise of a growth mindset

PresenterPresentation NotesAPWhat is PBIS?PBIS is a framework which is proactive. It aims at stopping negative behaviors before they happen.When we look at behaviors we usually focus on what students are doing wrong. PBIS focuses on what the students are doing right. Catch them being good and acknowledge the behavior which is correct.

In other words, rather than telling students what not to do, the school will focus on the preferred behaviors this in turn with change the focus from seeing and addressing the negative, we’ll focus on those doing good and acknowledge those students.

As adults we must develop a growth mindset and highlight what students are doing well rather than what are the doing wrong.

Campus’ Behavior Expectations

Turn and Talk

PresenterPresentation NotesHG1 minTurn and TalkLet’s begin looking at the components of PBIS.We have been talking about expectations, define, teach…. Expectations. As a PBIS Team, with input from staff and students, you selected 3- 5 expectations for all to follow.

Here are examples from various campuses. Same expectation but student language friendly. These posters should be put up in classrooms, hallways, and all key areas around the school building. They are posted as reminders for all students and adults to follow.

Campus’ Behavior Matrix

PresenterPresentation NotesHG1 minOnce the PBIS team establishes their core expectations, the team, with input from staff, develop a Behavior Matrix.Here we have an example of an elementary matrix. Every part of the school has an expectation and defines what that looks like in that environment. You may notice things such as bubble space , voice levels.

Schools then put posters of the behavior matrix throughout the school, and posters of each location to be post it in that area.

Discipline FlowchartSample

How could reviewing your campus’ flow chart be beneficial to review with your parents?

PresenterPresentation NotesHG1 minThe next PBIS component is the Campus Discipline Flowchart. The flow chart draws attention to those behaviors which are teacher managed (click) as labeled on the left side and office managed (click) identified on the right.(click for yellow arrow) This chart shows the interventions, processes, and protocols to be followed before (click for green arrow) becoming an office-managed referral. We must keep proper documentation to demonstrate that as a teacher, all classroom interventions have been exhausted, therefore, student continued misbehavior is further processed as an office managed behavior with further protocols determined by administration.

Let’s note, Following this protocol does not mean we are discouraging anyone from writing office-managed referrals. All office managed behavior is an automatic office referral. All classroom managed behaviors should follow the interventions listed prior to sending the students to the office with a referral for a continued same kind of misbehavior.

Student Reflective Opportunities• We learn from reflecting on experiences, good or bad.

• Reflection Forms are effective tools to use when students display unacceptable or acceptable behaviors

• Used in conjunction with the Core Values/Behavior Expectations

• Help correct undesired behaviors or, alternatively, reinforce those students following the rules and exhibiting expected and desired behaviors.

PresenterPresentation NotesHG Move to notesReflection is important to everyone. We do something or something happens and we find ourselves thinking, why did I do that, what if I had done something different, would there have been a different outcome.

Reflection forms are not a mandatory component but are a useful tool to use with students. It gives students the opportunity to sit and think about their behavior. It helps correct undesired behaviors and reinforces desired behaviors

Which NUMBER goes in the middle?

PresenterPresentation NotesAP 2 mins –You can either add, multiply, subtract or divide the numbers to see which one is the common number that if used in these equations would fit. Answer 102

Strategy 3: Reflection Form

PresenterPresentation NotesAPHere is an example of a reflection form for upper elementary students. Students reflect on their behavior, analyze causes for their behavior and identify the effects of who an how their behavior effected others and in what ways. Students fill out the reflection, not the teacher.

There are simple ones for the lower grades with pictures, giving lower elementary students a way to reflect by drawing.

Secondary students are also given an opportunity to reflect with a more in depth reflection form, created on a Google form to upload and track by campus staff.

The focus is to have the student reflect on their actions, find alternate choices in other opportunities, thus changing their behavior in the process.

**Turn and talk with your table partner and discuss:Do you have a reflection process at your campus and what systems are in place to communicate this to parents.

Strategy 4: Implementation Plan(Process for training students)

PresenterPresentation NotesAP 2min. Include the parent component…Once the campus has established its core expectations and matrix, an implementation plan needs to begin. How are you going to teach the students the language and expectations.

What lessons are you going to teach? When and how are you going to teach them?

The PBIS team has access to lessons on Schoology called “Cool tools” to teach all types of behaviors in different parts of the school for both elementary and secondary.

Remember to use the PBIS language when teaching the expectations.

Whether it is in the morning announcements, in class, in the hall. Everyone should use the same language.

Also, this is not something you teach once and then never again. You have to reteach, review throughout the year as teachable moments arise. We suggest schools do one large overview at the beginning of the year and a refresher after winter break.

This is an example of a plan where expectations were overviewed during the first week of school, then addressed by key area of the school one day at a time thereafter. The second clip is a example of a middle school where they used each period to review certain key pieces.

Strategy 5: PBIS Lesson Plans

Strategy 7: Parent Expectation Matrix

PresenterPresentation NotesARRefer to this handout and have participants turn to their partner. Give them about 5 minutes to review the school parent expectation matrix. What you have in front of you is a school parent expectation matrix that was created by a school with parents to strengthen the connection with parents through the use of PBIS. ----Parking Lot Activity: What are some things that stand out for you? How would this help you at your campus? In your classroom? What are some ideas you’d like to share ? Please use the stickies on your table to write whichever you’d like answer.---Blank Matrix Activity:You have a blank Matrix and take some time to create a School Parent Matrix that can be used in your campus or classroom. What do you need help with? How can parents support you using the PBIS Matrix from Home? Angie—Add that the headings can change or they can be the same ones in the example. The choice is yours. What works for your campus

At this time, give participants 25 minutes to create their School Parent Expectation Matrix.
