STOIC and CHAMPS Training

for Communities in Schools After school Centers on Education in Denton ISD Presented by Rene Shelton and Chris Shade

There are two “things” we want you to get from this session… Thing 1 is a basic understanding of Thing 2 and Thing 2 is a management

plan for activities and transitions after school.

Conversation: Limit your comments to those near

you. Voice Level up to 2. Put your phones on silent or

vibrate. If you must answer, please move your

conversation outside of this room.

Help: Raise your hand and call out if you have

questions or a comment.

Activity: Introduction to CHAMPS; GOAL: An after

school plan

Movement: Take care of your needs.

Participation: Engaged in learning and applying the

things we talk about nodding your head once in

awhile, taking notes is good; better – completing the

Management Plan sections as we go through them.

Signal: To bring you back to “Big Group.”

Success: We’ll review these at the end to see how

we did.

To help us be productive, we will follow these CHAMP expectations. Conversation: Limit your comments to those near you. Voice Level up to 2. Put your phones on silent or vibrate.

In my CHAMPS, I referenced VOICE Level 2.

0 – no talking, no sound

1 – whisper (no vocal chords when you use Voice Level 1

2 – Quiet Conversation (vocal chords in use; only those right around you can hear you)

3 – Presentational Voice – all in the room can hear

4 – Outside – All in the building can hear – This is for outside. Only exception MIGHT be PE and only with Coaches permission

Yelling – Voice Level 4 AND words

Screaming – Voice Level 4 WITHOUT words o In emergency – Yell (use your words), don’t just scream

During our CHAMPS, I introduced you to the attention signal that is taught in the CHAMPS book. It has all the components of a good attention signal –

portable

visual

auditory

a ripple effect. It also has a time expectation. Several of the elementary campuses have developed attention signals that are related to their mascots. Since I don’t know them all I can’t teach them to you. You may still here the “Give me 5” or other attention signals – all are acceptable, as long as they have been taught to the students, demonstrated, practiced, and there is feedback about whether the students met the expectation or not. Why is a common signal important throughout the building?

any adult can use

important during safety issues or to control the noise of a large group

The STOIC “magic” question…What are the variables I can manipulate to

get the behavior I want?

of 19

Structuring the environment for success you want to have the students “default” to doing the right thing. schedules, seating arrangements, traffic flow, what you have on the walls and boards, routines for beginning the class and ending the class, procedures for turning in homework or assignments, how you will get their attention Teaching expectations about how to be successful within the structure. I do We do You do. If students know what you expect, they don’t have to “discover” it. Observing – monitoring. Interaction – building relationships. Correcting – consistency is the key (Random reinforcement schedule is the most powerful – you never know when you will “win”); business like, watching your tone and facial expressions. More disappointed than angry. Privately. How can I help you?

Q: Who said?

“The children of today now love luxury. They have bad manners. They

show disrespect to adults, and love to talk rather than work or

exercise. They contradict their parents, chatter in front of company,

gobble down their food at the table, and intimidate their teachers.”

A: Socrates

Let’s imagine…

Most human behavior is learned

• It can be unlearned…and shaped

People are constantly engaged in learning

• Every experience

influences what

follows

BEHAVIOR OCCURS FOR A REASON!

Conditions Set the Stage for

(Antecedents) An Individual’s Behavior

(The Behavior)

PleasantOutcomes which

increase likelihood of the behavior in the future

Unpleasant Outcomes which reduce

likelihood of the behavior

in the future

ABCs Antecedent – what happens right before the behavior Behavior Consequences – what happens right after the behavior

Two Factors That Affect Motivation Value The degree to which one values the rewards that accompany succeeding at that task Expectancy The degree to which an individual expects to be successful at the task V X E = M

Let’s put it on Paper

• Guidelines for Success

• Rules

–Remember the guidelines

about rules

• Attention Signal

–Your campus may have one

–You might have an additional

one for your room

Organizing all classroom settings for

success.

– Physical arrangements

– Scheduling issues

– Organizational patterns

– Routines and procedures

– Expectations for students

• Activities

– whole group instruction

– independent seat work

– cooperative groups

– taking tests

• Transitions

– from one activity to another

– from one place to another

Physical environment— easy access within 3-4 steps, arrangement of desks, reference materials, etc. Scheduling — how much time per activity, when do we do things. Organizational Patterns — how you handle tardies, late work, tracking grades, etc. Routines, procedures —opening routines, ending routines, managing student work, etc. Expectations for students - —what behavior should look like and sound during key classroom activities and transitions. Create CHAMPS activity plans for at least

Teach your expectations

Observe/Monitor

Provide Feedback

Repeat! Again and again.

What about those who come into the program later?

Teach the student individually

Use a buddy system

Reteach the entire class

Make a "Welcome to Our Class" video

Establish a schoolwide Newcomers Club

What about time lapse? Emphasize for the first three weeks of the program and/or until 85% get it. Reemphasize before and after [long] holidays.

Observe

Lifeguards are constantly visually scanning, listening, and circulating.

Interact

IOTS

Strategies to increase noncontingent attention:

• Greet students.

• Show an Interest in student’s work.

• Invite students to ask for assistance.

• Have a conversation with a student or a group of students.

• Make a special effort to greet or talk to students you’ve recently interacted with in regards to a misbehavior.

We often think of feedback as either positive…

… or negative.

But really it’s more like a pottery wheel.

The behavior you reinforce with attention is the behavior that you will

begin to see more often.

HOW TO Avoid The Criticism Trap: Have MORE interactions with students when they are BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY than when they are misbehaving. Suggestions –

Remind yourself you own 3+ to that student Provide feedback at specific times At the end of the day, note who had a rough day, put a note on your plan book for the next day to pump up the positive Engage in lots of appropriate non-contingent interaction

What should be the biggest reinforcer in the room? Attention. The leader. The leader’s attention. Conductor

Like the bank, you’ve got to put in more deposits than withdrawals.

The Evidence of its Power! Students tend to WORK MORE DILIGENTLY when they receive higher rates of positive feedback than when they do not.

CDirectiveIOTS

You need to know: It is not the severity that makes a consequence powerful; it is the certainty. Consequences don’t have to be big to be powerful – you just have to be consistent in your application of them. Think about this . . . If you go too big with your consequences, you have nothing else bigger to use if you need it. And if you go too big, your student have nothing to lose by acting like complete fools. Don’t paint yourselves into a corner.

TOUGH kids behavior chains:

Learn to identify the behavior links

Don’t hold back or wait

Use your preplanned consequences

Don’t make deals, negotiate with or attempt to placate as these can

make the behavior worse
