This is a great idea! Hopefully I can get more classes to be 'buddy classes' with young ones next year. Great community bldg. #5thchat

Thanks. It sounds like it's right up my alley. @Seesaw #5thchat

No, I actually used one from a news broadcast another teacher was doing. I learn from all those around me. My kids ate it up. #5thchat

Another idea for pos. support, Token Dollars. Create w/ Ss face, school mascot, fav. sport. Redeem for desire prizes ex/ iPad time. #5thchat

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Yes, I can see how that would be hard to maintain depending on the flow of ones day. #5thchat

One minute until question #7. #5thchat

gruffcorn13 Jun 20 @ 8:46 PM EDT

My Ss walk in a line with a buddy of their choice- as long as they can monitor their own voices. Single file lines are unrealistic. #5thchat

A6: for me,less is more.I've tried many things and keep coming back to building and maintaining relationships and a pos. atmosphere #5thchat

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:46 PM EDT

Hmmmm, now I am really intrigued. Hallway walking is the toughest skill for my kids. I may have to try 2 by 2. Thanks! #5thchat

In reply to @gruffcorn13

BraleeGriffin Jun 20 @ 8:46 PM EDT

Tokens/dollars are easy to use and to remember during class- walk around w/ some in your hand & place on desks #edmg7080 #5thchat

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Q7: How does implementing PBIS assist the whole child, especially those more challenging students? #5thchat

JunTigTeacher Jun 20 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Totally agree, and I think I'm going to switch to your plan. #5thchat

In reply to @gruffcorn13

I like the idea of collecting points to have a classroom economy and hold an auction at the end of semester. Anyone do this? #5thchat

gruffcorn13 Jun 20 @ 8:48 PM EDT

It's a more natural skill to teach Ss to walk with a partner & monitor their voice levels. I don't walk single file w/ others. #5thchat

In reply to @ElginElgin3

shammanaj Jun 20 @ 8:48 PM EDT

Me neither, those types of things don't seem to fit my teaching style #5thchat

Mrs_WestcottMon Jun 20 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7: I think PBI's help all Ss feel a sense of community. It also equips the Ss with lifelong behaviors that should carry w/ them. #5thchat

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7: #5thchat

JunTigTeacher Jun 20 @ 8:49 PM EDT

I haven't, although my 7th grade ELA teacher did, and we LOVED it! I should try it. #5thchat

In reply to @MicheleCMueller

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Yes, focus on no more than 3-5 rules/expectations at a time. Ex/ Be safe, Be respectful, Be responsible. Most fits in those categ. #5thchat

In reply to @techieteacher

gruffcorn13 Jun 20 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A7: PBIS gives my Ss that don't have clear behavior guidelines something to understand & follow. #5thchat

Q7: How does implementing PBIS assist the whole child, especially those more challenging students? #5thchat

JunTigTeacher Jun 20 @ 8:51 PM EDT

I think it lets Ss know we care about them. Some Ss walk in expecting the T to hate them, and PBIS allows them to grow out of that. #5thchat

In reply to @ElginElgin3

techieteacher Jun 20 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Yes, we usually have 3-4 rules and consequences are clearly defined and followed consistently #5thchat

MicheleCMueller Jun 20 @ 8:51 PM EDT

I am not familiar with PBIS, but I really like what I am seeing/hearing. It makes sense and this slide is great! #5thchat

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7: #5thchat

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Yes, we have used these and personalize them for each student. They can turn them in for items on a menu (ex/ 5 min. iPad time) #5thchat

In reply to @BraleeGriffin

shammanaj Jun 20 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 I'm more empathetic to my Ss when I'm consciously looking for positive behaviors #5thchat

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:52 PM EDT

We use a menu of incentives, but I would love to hear more about your auction. Sounds engaging for Ss. #5thchat

Celebrates growth, what each child does well. Focus on right rather than wrong is FAR more productive & supportive of learning! 👍 #5thchat

MicheleCMueller Jun 20 @ 8:53 PM EDT

It’s a new idea i’m brainstorming. I like the idea of an economy, collecting the goodies will probably be the hardest part. #5thchat

A7 Looks like it's @seesaw for me, but I got so many great ideas from you all that I've put in a Google doc! 😀 #5thchat

In reply to @ElginElgin3, @Seesaw

ElginElgin3 Jun 20 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Yes, no Ss wants to be in a class where the teacher is always pointing out what they are doing wrong. We should be their advocate. #5thchat

In reply to @shammanaj

techieteacher Jun 20 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A7: next year I want Ss to have more voice in how our class is run, I want to implement #LearnLap strategies #5thchat

gruffcorn13 Jun 20 @ 8:56 PM EDT

FA: I need focus on continuity. Our supports are good- I need to be more conscious of using them. #5thchat
