2. determine who, what, when, where, and why of problem behavior

III. Developing Big Ideas and Teaching Matrix
THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR SCHOOL WILL GET THESE THINGS DONE:
1. develop 3-5 positively stated “big ideas” as school expectations
2. determine what the school-wide rules will be in connection with larger schoolwide expectations (create matrix connecting rules to big ideas)
3. plan to teach expectations via the matrix (school-wide expectations and the
related example behaviors by location)
4. teach examples directly (model, demonstrate, practice) in each location / context
5. develop plans to encourage, prompt, and remind students on a very regular basis
6. develop plans for revisiting expectations as indicated by data
7. see that school-wide expectations are taught in classrooms

IV. Encouragement Procedures: Tied to School-Wide Rules
THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR SCHOOL WILL GET THESE THINGS DONE:
1. determine procedures for naturally acknowledging appropriate behaviors in the
school at large and in the classroom
2. determine if, what, when, and how artificial reinforcers will be used
3. determine how reinforcement might be individualized for specific students or

V. Discouraging Misbehavior: minor consequences and office referrals
THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR SCHOOL WILL GET THESE THINGS DONE:
1. determine procedures for responding to inappropriate behaviors
2. teach consequences for inappropriate behavior
3. determine a continuum of possible consequences relative to the seriousness of
behavior (e.g., office vs. classroom response)
4. determine what behaviors warrant a formal discipline referral vs. a report
5. evaluate their ability to deliver negative consequences in a consistent manner
6. teach techniques for defusing disruption without excluding student from class
