Whole class behavior management PBIS
By Patricia
Whole class behavior management is a cornerstone of effective teaching, especially in elementary and early middle school settings. The "Include Every Student" strategy offers a comprehensive approach to fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment. This method aligns with Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) principles, emphasizing positive behavior management and creating a supportive learning atmosphere for all students.
Key Components
1. Whole class behavior management
At the heart of the "Include Every Student" strategy is positive behavior management. This approach focuses on recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors rather than solely addressing negative ones. By highlighting and celebrating responsible, respectful, kind, and organized actions, students are motivated to consistently display these behaviors.
2. PBIS Alignment
This strategy integrates seamlessly with PBIS frameworks, making it suitable for schools already implementing these practices. PBIS emphasizes the importance of proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. "Include Every Student" supports these goals by providing a structured yet flexible method for encouraging positive behaviors in the classroom.
3. Visual Tracking and Engagement for primary and secondary school
A critical aspect of this strategy is its visual component. Teachers can use a point system displayed on the board to track positive behaviors in real-time. Each time a student exhibits positive behavior, they earn a "smile". This immediate recognition helps students understand the connection between their actions and the rewards they receive, fostering self-awareness and self-regulation.
In addition to individual rewards, recognize collective achievements by awarding the class a "Teacher is Proud" award when the group displays consistent positive behaviors.
1. Enhanced Student Engagement
By actively involving students in the process of tracking their behavior, they become more engaged and invested in their actions. This method encourages them to self-monitor and strive for continuous improvement.
2. Improved Classroom Atmosphere
Positive behavior management contributes to a more harmonious classroom environment. When students are focused on earning rewards for good behavior, disruptions decrease, and the overall atmosphere becomes more conducive to learning.
3. Scalable for Elementary and Middle School
The flexibility of the "Include Every Student" strategy makes it suitable for both elementary and middle school classrooms. The principles of PBIS are universally applicable, and the visual tracking system can be adapted to suit different age groups and developmental stages.
4. Strengthened Home-School Connections
Communicating students' achievements to their parents fosters a positive relationship between home and school. It helps parents understand the efforts made in the classroom and encourages them to reinforce these behaviors at home, creating a consistent support system for the student.
The "Include Every Student" classroom management strategy is a powerful tool for fostering a positive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. By focusing on positive behavior management and aligning with PBIS principles, this strategy is effective for both elementary and middle school settings. It encourages students to self-monitor, fosters a positive classroom atmosphere, and strengthens home-school connections. Implementing this strategy can lead to a more harmonious and productive classroom where every student feels valued and motivated to succeed.
Adopt the "Include Every Student" strategy in your classroom today and witness the transformative power of positive behavior management!
