EPACS is the East Palo Alto Charter School
What is a charter school?
-A public school that has more freedom from state regulation and bureaucracy
-School is accountable for student achievement & fiscal solvency
-Do not charge tuition or have admission requirements

Basic Set Up of Lessons
Students pick up name tag, lab coat, and worksheet
Tutors work with students to go over worksheet for about 5 minutes
Lead tutor goes over worksheet and experiment planned for that day
Tutors lead the students through the experiment
Discuss conclusions as a group
Clean-Up

What’s on the worksheets?
1. Review of previous lesson2. Questions to get them thinking about the current day’s lesson3. Place to write down their hypothesis4. Observation Section5. Conclusion Section
![Page 14: Science Bus Orientation 1. General Info on EPACS and Science Bus 2. How Science Bus is Structured 3. Behavior Management 4. The Science Bus Wiki](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d155503460f949ea264/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Interested in Lesson Planning or Leading Lessons?
-The themes and lessons are planned the quarter before they are executed
-We will be going over the drafts for the last four lessons within the next two
weeks-We will plan the Science Olympics
Lessons sometime in late November

3. Behavior Management
![Page 16: Science Bus Orientation 1. General Info on EPACS and Science Bus 2. How Science Bus is Structured 3. Behavior Management 4. The Science Bus Wiki](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d155503460f949ea264/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Some Key Points:
-10-20% of students in a classroom will have behavioral problems
-Part of what you have to teach is behavior: our first lesson was focused on this
-One part of management is to build up trusting relationships with the students
-Always use the name of the student you are addressing
-Be consistent and clear about your expectations
![Page 17: Science Bus Orientation 1. General Info on EPACS and Science Bus 2. How Science Bus is Structured 3. Behavior Management 4. The Science Bus Wiki](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d155503460f949ea264/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Three Basic Rules:1. Eyes on Me
2. No Talking when the Tutor is Talking
3. Hands to Yourself
![Page 18: Science Bus Orientation 1. General Info on EPACS and Science Bus 2. How Science Bus is Structured 3. Behavior Management 4. The Science Bus Wiki](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d155503460f949ea264/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
System of Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement Negative Reinforcement
1. Students Get a Sticker on Their
Name Tag at the End of the Lesson for Behaving Well
2. Positive Referrals-For Exceptionally Good Behavior
1. Warning
2. Loss of Sticker
3. Negative Referral
4. Sent to Mr. Nagy’s Office
![Page 19: Science Bus Orientation 1. General Info on EPACS and Science Bus 2. How Science Bus is Structured 3. Behavior Management 4. The Science Bus Wiki](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d155503460f949ea264/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Don’t Give Vague Directions
Vague Direction Clear Direction
“Pay Attention” “Eyes on Me”
“No talking”“Behave Appropriately”
Check for Understanding After Giving Directions
![Page 20: Science Bus Orientation 1. General Info on EPACS and Science Bus 2. How Science Bus is Structured 3. Behavior Management 4. The Science Bus Wiki](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d155503460f949ea264/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Use the Technique of Behavioral NarrationFocus on students that are following directions by running a commentary:
Example.“Susan’s eyes are on me”“George is working on his worksheet”“Briana is not talking”
After using behavioral narration, wait for students to behave before trying to enforce directions.
Key Point: The Commentary is not a Judgement or Praise, it’s a way to
repeat the Directions.
![Page 21: Science Bus Orientation 1. General Info on EPACS and Science Bus 2. How Science Bus is Structured 3. Behavior Management 4. The Science Bus Wiki](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d155503460f949ea264/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What if the Students still aren’t Following Directions?
Correct the students that aren´t following instructions using our management system:
Example. In very calm voice:
“This is a warning, the next time you talk while the lead tutor is speaking you will lose your sticker for the day.”
“It´s the 3rd time we had to ask you to follow directions, the next time you will be sent to Mr. Nagy’s office.”

Use a 3:1 Ratio
After correcting a student, look for three opportunities to mention when
they are behaving properly.
It is often more effective to use behavioral narration with students
who have a tendency to misbehave.
