Behavior Teaching Plan

2016-17

Teaching respect (for self, towards others and for property) should include what students are to say to others, how students say things and what they look like during the interaction.

BATHROOM

Respect Yourself

Wash your hands
Example: Model for students: Using one pump of soap, rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds and rinse. Use one paper towel to dry your hands.
Non-example: Leaving after using the restroom allows germs to spread and creates an unhealthy environment.

Respect Others

Give others privacy
Example: When you go into the restroom, stay focused on taking care of yourself and your needs. Return to the classroom quickly.
Non-example: Peaking through the cracks, looking over or under the stall.
Enter and leave quietly
Example: Voices should be off in the restroom.
Non-example: Talking to classmates or other students, singing, humming.
Flush the toilet
Example: After you are finished, make sure the toilet has flushed.
Non Example: Leaving and not flushing.

Respect Property

Keep water and paper towels off the floor
Example: When you wash your hands, turn the water on just enough to get a steady flow. Keep your hands over the sink. When drying your hands, use one paper towel.
Non-example: Splashing in the water, shaking off hands, turning water on to high, using too many paper towels, throwing paper on the floor.
Keep paper towels off the ceiling, the floor and the mirrors
Example: When you have finished drying your hands, throw your paper towel into the trashcan.

STAIRWAYS

Respect Yourself

Keep hands on the railing
Model the correct way – hands on the railing with balance. Stress that students are less likely to trip using those steps.
Non-Example: hands are on others while walking up/down the staircase
Use walking feet on each step
Example: Take the steps one at a time, don’t skip a step. You are less likely to fall and hurt yourself and others;
Non-Example: taking the steps 2 or 3 at a time; running

Respect Others

Stay to the right

Example: Redwings stay to the right to allow traffic to pass in the other direction. Staying to the right means you will be close to the railing; Show an example on the promethean board of the traffic flow.
Non-Example: walking in the middle of the staircase

Respect Property

Use railing to hold for balance

Example: Redwings guide their hand on the railing without pulling
Nonexample: pulling railing away from wall or sitting and sliding down railing

HALLWAY

Respect Yourself

Keep your Hands To Yourself
Have students practice walking in the hallway with their hands placed nicely by their sides or hands in their pockets
Explain to students that they are not to touch other students or the walls in the hallway
For K-2 have students use the saying “Hips and Lips” when this cue is giving the students will practice placing one hand on their hip and a finger over their lips
Non-Examples: Touching the walls, and touching classmates
Use Walking Feet
Model for students what walking in the hall looks like
Have students practice walking in the hallway as a whole class.
Use the phrase walking with the students
Non-Examples: Running, jumping, and skipping,

Respect Others

Voices off
Explain to students that they must not talk in the hallway because it is a distraction to the other classes that are not transitioning.
Practice walking in the hallway without talking
Model what voices off sounds and looks like in the hallway and what it does not look like in the hallway
Non-Examples: Yelling, screaming and talking to others

Respect Property

Stay Right
Make the students aware of the visual on the floor that will help remind them where to walk
Practice walking in the hallway in a straight line as a class using the visual to help make sure they stay to the right and stay straight
Explain to the students the importance of not touching the wall and walking orderly in the hallway during transitions

Non-Examples: Not following the visual on the floor, walking on the left side of the hallway, not walking one behind the other and touching the walls

Respect Yourself:

Stay Seated
Example: Once you find a seat on the bus, you sit down and you do not stand or move until the bus comes to a complete stop at the location you get off the bus.
Non-example: I sit down and at a stop one student gets off the bus. I move to the empty seat to sit by my friend.
Face Forward
Example: When I sit down on the bus seat, I place my book bag on my lap and face the back of the seat in front of me with my legs in front.
