School-wide behaviour model

School-wide behaviour model

School leaders are integral to the delivery of the school-wide behaviour model. They consistently communicate a strong message about the expectations of students, teachers and parents.

The principal is supported by the instruction coach and community coach.

The principal creates a Behaviour Management Team (BMT) which does the following:

• Assesses behaviour
• Implements behaviour management
• Provides training to staff.

All school leaders are responsible for the following:

• Ensuring the instruction is positive in all classrooms and students are reinforced for following the rules and working hard. They are also responsible for ensuring student behaviour is orderly in common areas.
• Handling out-of-class time-outs and severe behavioural disruptions so teachers can continue to teach.
• Handling out-of-class time-outs and severe behavioural disruption so teachers can continue to teach.
• Determining, with teaching team, which reinforcers are used with students.
• Modelling and coaching teachers on all aspects of positive behaviour management.
• Setting expectations with the staff and determining, through direct observation, whether classrooms are reinforcing appropriate behaviour to students.
• Identifying teachers and teaching assistants who continually reinforce positive high expectations and partner them with peers so they can role models and mentors to others who are still developing their positive classroom environment.
• Sharing the results of behaviour-related observations weekly as part of the problem-solving process. They share across school techniques that have proven to be successful in establishing positive student behaviour.
