Behavior Checklist
A list of observable and measurable behaviors which are recorded by a teacher. Usually as a last resort to communicate the behavior frequency with parents and administration.
K-2nd
Group Points/Compliments
When you notice groups of students staying on task or not you can add or remove points. If they reach a certain amount they get a small celebration reward.
“I’m so proud of you” stamp
“I’m so proud of you” stamp is a tool that can be used during the supportive phase to actively encourage student’s efforts and participation. One awesome way to do this is by customizing the stamp to say the teachers name, i.e; “Mrs. K is so proud of you!”
Guided meditation
Guided meditation helps students relax their mind, bodies, and helps them direct their focus to the classroom and classmates.
Read Aloud
As a teacher, if there is an idea you want to expose your students to, a constant issue in the classroom you need to address, or even just to take a moment of time to have your students get a brain break, you can purposefully choose a book to read aloud to handle what you need to handle. This management tool is helpful because there are some issues or needs that your students will have that the words of a good book can touch their hearts closer than what your words can in some cases.
Blurt Cards
Blurt Cards are a physical tool you can give to your students, the entire class or just a select few students, who need help with waiting their turn to talk and have trouble with raising their hand in order to speak. This tool is helpful because not only is it a physical item, but if used correctly students can receive rewards for not blurting as well as can be held accountable if they continue to speak out of turn.
Nature Walk
This tool is best to do at the beginning of the lesson. It allows students to get some fresh air and clear their minds. At the end of the walk, they be more refreshed and ready to learn, preventing problems or bad behaviors from arising during the lesson.
Brain Breaks
This tool helps reduce the stress of the students while also helping the students self-regulate. This also allows the students a break during learning so that the students don’t become overwhelmed. This tool allows students to develop their creativity as well as their social skills.
Bouncy Balls
This tool helps manage the classroom and noise within the classroom. This tool, bouncy balls, has a integrated noise meter which automatically detetcs the students noise levels in the classroom and sends off alert signals if it gets too loud.
Outstanding You
An Outstanding You is given to students mostly by teachers for good behavior, doing great on an assignment, being helpful, or anything that ties back to the school motto of being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe. They can then be used in different ways depending on the teacher/classroom. These are helpful because students know the ways in order to earn them, so they want to be on their best behavior in order to gain an Outstanding You.
