1. EffectiveInstructionSeries 2012-13 Welcome to ESU 6!

2. Series GoalsParticipants will… • Utilize assessment, reporting, and grading practices based on current research and literature. • Utilize instructional routines and strategies based on current research and literature. • Implement classroom management practices based on current research and literature.

3. Set ActivityVisualization • Visualize • What does your ideal classroom sound like, look like, feel like? See it in your mind… • Scan your vision for student behaviors and put these in slow motion for closer examination. What are the specific behaviors that are so pleasing to you? • Make a list of desired behaviors. If you want it, teach it!

4. Essential Questions • What will I do to establish or maintain classroom rules and procedures? • What will I do to engage students? • What will I do to recognize and acknowledge adherence and lack of adherence to classroom rules and procedures? • What will I do to establish and maintain effective relationships with students?

5. Objectives • Identify classroom behaviors, routines, and procedures requiring teaching. • Explain how to teach a behavior, routine, or procedure. • Explain how to use the retraining strategy when students fail to deliver on expected behaviors. • Identify and explain positive, replicable ways to encourage positive relationships with students.

6. Get to Know Your Students • Use names • Attend (or know about) extra-curricular activities • Use interest and learning profile inventories • Interest circle • Surveys • Find someone who • Greet students at the door • Other ideas?

7. scaffold for academic success APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 37) Making Students Look Good • Glow Comments before Grow Comments • Appropriate Level of Concern • Pass Option • Wait-Time & Wait-Time Extended • Interaction Sequence

8. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 54) Appropriate Level Of Concern • Set reasonable standards; break difficult concepts into manageable chunks • Be specific about time allotments • K – 6, teacher minutes multiplied by 4 or 5 • 7 – 12, teacher minutes multiplied by 3 or 4 • Use proximity (MBWA) • Be conscious of your nonverbal signals • Use competition carefully (against self, time NOT individuals.

9. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 32-34) Pass Option • Best as temporary exit • “Tell me one thing you heard _(the previous responder)_ say.” • Allows time • Gather thoughts, composure • Refocus / re-engage • Requires teaching • Explain why • Teach what it looks like / sounds like • Communicate its temporary nature

10. Extended(also Think-Pair-Share) Ask all students the question. Pause (3+ seconds). Select student(s) to respond. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 77-80) Wait Time • Put students on-the-clock. • “You have 30 seconds to share your answer with your partner.” • Students share their thoughts with a partner.

11. Objectives • Identify positive, replicable ways to encourage positive relationships with students. • What are some positive, replicable ways to encourage positive relationships with students?

12. Objective Identify classroom behaviors, routines, and procedures requiring teaching.

13. Recall the behaviors exhibited in your vision of the ideal classroom…

14. “Most behavior problems in the classroom are caused by the teacher’s failure to teach students how to follow procedures.” (Wong & Wong, 1998)

15. Establish Rules & Procedures • Rules • Identify general expectations or standards for student behavior • “Treat others the way you would want them to treat you.” • Procedures & Routines • Expectations and process for specific behaviors to realize the rules • how to assemble in three-ish groups (Marzano, 2007, p. 119)

16. Identify Behaviors, Procedures, & Routines to Teach • Entering the room • How to volunteer a response • How to greet a partner/small group • Asking to leave the room (restroom, etc.) • Transitions • Getting ready to leave & orderly dismissal • Organizing personal workspace • Making sure items get home • Recording assignments in assignment notebook • Others? Involve students in this brainstorming stage!

17. Objective • Explain how to teach a behavior, routine, or procedure.

18. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 47) Front Load Expected Behaviors • “If you want it, teach it.” • Teach vs. Tell • proactive vs. reactive approach • student self-control vs. constant teacher control • Prioritize, teach 2-3 most important per week until all have been taught

19. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 47) Teach Expected Behaviors:Five Steps for Getting Kids Ready • Brainstorm the expectations; determine and teach the content. • Model the behavior. • Practice the behavior. • Reinforce the behavior. • Re-teach the behavior. “If you want it, teach it.”

20. For example…

21. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 47) Teach Expected Behaviors:Five Steps for Getting Kids Ready • the expectations; determine and the content. • the behavior. • the behavior. • the behavior. • Re-teach the behavior. “If you want it, teach it.”

22. Objectives • Explain how to use the retraining strategy when students fail to deliver on expected behaviors.

23. When things don’t go as planned… • Calm • Don’t go limbic with your students. • “When you are ready to talk reasonably about his, let me know.” • Question • Get the information you need. • “Is there something I need to know that I don’t know that caused you to…” • Teach • Retrain the desired behavior.

24. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 54) Retraining • Purpose: change the unwanted behavior, a way to hold students accountable for taught behaviors • Instructional vs. punitive • On students own time, but only as long as necessary to successfully re-teach

25. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 54) Criteria for Teaching and Reteaching Behaviors Confront the behavior not the person. • Be consistent • Be dispassionate • Be professional • approach student privately • never use sarcasm or ridicule • Follow up appropriately

26. Withitness • “aware of what is happening in all parts of the classroom at all times by continuously scanning the classroom” • “the disposition of the teacher to quickly and accurately identify…potential problem behavior and to act on it immediately” (Kounin, 1983; Brophy, 1996, in Marzano, 2003, p. 67)

27. APL (Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 54) In Other Words… • Management By Walking Around (MBWA) • “On your feet, not on your seat.” • Constant monitoring

28. What does withitness look like? What recognizable, replicable behaviors do “with-it” teachers exhibit?

29. ClosurePartners A & B • Explain how to teach a behavior, routine, or procedure. • Explain how to use the retraining strategy when students fail to deliver on expected behaviors.
