SRBI+Behavior+Team+Meeting+Notes

**February 2nd Meeting...**
John opened the meeting and discussed our goal for this committee John offered a workshop that is being held – interested members please contact John Laura shared __RTI & Behavior – A Guide to Integrating Behavioral and Academic Supports__ Adam shared that as a committee we should look to establish a common language for behavior and behavior expectations within each school, discuss and think about what behavior interventions look like across the tiers – as well as consequences Meghan shared how her fourth grade classroom has implemented PBS – she keeps track of behaviors, motivators – teaching positive behavior explicitly – common language throughout the entire building – compatible with Kids Care – Will share PowerPoint – what will the next two tiers look like in PBS? Alison – Open Circle – similar to Responsive Classroom – common language throughout school – skits to teach younger students – open circle with one empty seat for guest (admin, specials teacher, etc…) Jessica and Mary have collaborated to establish a common set of rules for entire school – surveyed teachers – consistent language from special to special and grade to grade – involve student council to share and lead peers Tokeneke – assemblies every other month – town meetings – behavior skits – kids code and kids care – celebrate talents and rewards – discuss concerns Adam shared that he would like to continue to discuss the use of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators for expected behavior. Is there a balance? Some teachers feel very strongly about not giving rewards and that the effort should be made to explicitly teach the expected behavior and why we should make positive choices. Lavi – Tier 1 social skills curriculum called Second Steps – 20 minutes per week – targets same areas – grade level appropriate – large cards with scripts and plans on back – little pre-planning with direct instruction and activities carry over throughout the week in the classroom. Working with Luke to scan in kits for other schools to have access to them Laura – include parents – PTO meetings - great suggestion to start in grade K – so our goal should be to implements something in grades K, 2, and 4 for 2010-2011
