- #vdvchat Nicholas Diaz, Assistant Principal
- Jason Solomon, Director of 21st Century Education...fan of Van Derveer School!! #VDVchat
- #VDVchat Q1: What are some examples of effective whole class behavior management systems that you use in your classroom?
- #vdvchat Q1: I use $ to pay for various responsibilities like jobs and completing hw that students can use to buy things at my mart!
- #vdvchat A1: Giving a difficult student choices (one u prefer, other less desirable but same outcome) will enable them to feel empowered
- #vdvchat A1: We use a stoplight type system that goes above green. It promotes positive behavior and not just negative behavior.
- #vdvchat q1: I also have students work in their small groups to compete for tallies. Winner of tallies get extra $ on pay day!
- #vdvchat A1: @MsKuboski @KristinTepedino great idea. I did a similar system when I taught grade 1. My students loved the class store part.
- #VDVchat A1: I always had a good result from token based rewards systems. Earning points towards an extrinsic goal...moving to intrinsic.
- #VDVCHAT Q2: how does teacher preparation effect classroom management?
- #vdvchat q2 down time in the classroom is an invitation for unwanted conversation and disruption.. Preparation is key!!
- #vdvchat A2: Prep is essential for a smooth running class. Sets the tone. Students follow lead.
- @KristinTepedino #vdvchat Oh, preparation is everything in Kindergarten. It equals success.
- #vdvchat A2: teacher prep must include planning for consistency. No system can be successful without being CONSISTENT!
- #VDVChat A2 I think prep is key. While it's important to be flexible and change with the situation, coming in with good prep is essential.
- VDVCHAT Q3: What is the role of data collection in managing individual student behaviors?
- #vdvchat A3: Data will assist in identifying specific behavior problems and taking an individualized approach to addressing it.
- #VDVchat Q3 ABC Antecedent Behavior Consequence. Using FBA principals I have found can be very helpful in managing inappropriate behavior.
- #vdvchat A3: Academic Data + Behavioral Data = Engaged Student
- #vdvchat A3: Also helps you to adjust the expectation level so the student moves more in line with expected behaviors
- @KristinTepedino #vdvchat q3 completely agree! Data is essential to determine WHY a behavior is occurring
- #vdvchat A4: It helps most for those students that have difficulty with transitions. Let's them know how long a task will last & next task
- #VDVCHat: Thought for the day- how did you address a management issue in your classroom today? Share with your team! Thanks for participing!
