BEHAVIOR DOCUMENTS

The following are documents I created that were used in revamping of the behavioral plan at Bucyrus Elementary.

PBIS

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a three-tier framework that is intended to help all students, including students with disabilities, succeed in school, both socially and academically.  I have a strong interest in PBIS and its use to change teacher behavior in order to gain positive student results.  The following PowerPoint was used as an introduction presentation to staff as we started our journey with PBIS at Bucyrus Elementary.

I designed the following behavior matrix to use with the students. It has both written expectations as well as pictures to allow for accessibility by even the smallest children.

I designed the PBIS handbooks for use at Bucyrus Elementary. There is one handbook for Tier 1 and one handbook for Tier 2.

I also created these flowcharts to help teachers determine steps to take in the PBIS framework when dealing with students with behavioral needs.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE PUBLIC POLICY PROJECT

I completed this project as part of my Educational Leadership degree.  The project included analyzing a portion of board policy and relating that to actual teacher experiences at the school.  I administered a staff survey regarding student behavior, and then designed a Discipline Action Plan as a means of corrective action. 

DISCIPLINE ACTION PLAN

This is the Discipline Action Plan from the Student Discipline Public Policy Project above.  I have separated it from the larger document for an easier view.

DISSERTATION PROJECT PROPOSAL

Written as a proposal for a doctoral dissertation, this paper asks the question “What are the peer perceptions of the effects of disruptive classmates?”  While the actual human research was only proposed and not completed, I was completed written research on this topic.  What I found was that most writings about this topic are on the effects of inclusion on the students with disabilities, as opposed to the general education students.

As part of my research proposal, I created this PowToon video introducing my research topic on how students with behavior disorders affect the others in the classroom.
