Proactive ExpectationsPro social Reinforcement Strategy Tenets

It is easier to increase behavior then to

decrease it. Expectations of behavior must be clearly

defined

Define what you want to see instead ofwhat you dont want to see: Dont go intothe puddle! versus I expect everyone tobe walking on the sidewalk

Proactive ReinforcementRegulation is shaped by learning and reinforcement

Reinforce appropriate behavior when present.

Praise must: Be delivered contingent on performance of the behavior

to be reinforced.

Specify the behavior or the particulars of the behavior

being reinforced: There should be no confusion on thepart of the student as to why he is receiving the teachersaffirmative attention.

Sound sincere and vary.

ProactiveCase Study 1:

Mrs. Pebbles is having difficulty with her class recently.Most of her 20 students had been doing their work fine,

except for 3 or 4 students who were consistently notregulating and displaying challenging behavior. As a result,Mrs. Pebbles spends most of her time and attentioncorrecting these students while the other students do their

work. Recently though she has noticed that students who

were doing their work before are now starting to act up aswell.

What happened?

What is being reinforced in Mrs. Pebbles class?

ProactiveCase Study 2 : Mrs. Pebbles makes sure her expectations are clear as class

starts. When a student requests Mrs. Pebbles attention, heor she should raise her hand. In the beginning of the class afew conscientious students began raising their handinstead of shouting out while other students continueshouting out. Mrs.Pebbles begins calling on students withtheir hands raised at first and also allows those students

who are calling out to gain her attention without correcting

their behavior. What is being reinforced in Mrs. Pebbles class? What will happen to Mrs. Pebbles expectations of hand

raising?

17/17

Correcting BehaviorBehavior Policy (Sharon) Blueprinting is a recordable action / strategy as per the

behavior policy. Where blueprinting is used as a stage of the behavior

policy then this needs to be placed on record. Studentnames and date should be recorded on the back.

This in effect take the place of a statement, any additionalinformation can be recorded on the back of the blueprint

chit. Blueprints should be available in all classrooms as well as

carried by support staff / pastoral team and SLT on call Blueprinting should be recorded on SIMS.
