Basic Monitoring Practices

Active supervision– Movement– Scanning– Positive Interaction

•Positive contact•Reinforcement of expected behavior

Movement

– Obvious– Positive– Interactive– Unpredictable

Scanning

– Head up– Make eye contact– Overt body position

“Good morning, class!”

Teachers report that when students are greeted by an adult in morning, it takes less time to complete morning routines & get first lesson started.

Positive Contact

Schoolwide acknowledgements

– Variety of students– Quick– Noticeable– Publicly appropriate

Four Positives to One Negative Ratio

– Have more positive student contacts than negative

Systematic Supervision

Checklist

Look over the Systematic Supervision Checklist and be ready to look for and rate the features as you see them in the videos.

With your School Team:1. Tell your partner why monitoring with

active supervision is critical in common areas.

2. Summarize the three basic monitoring practices

3. Consider current monitoring practices in your school. Are all three basic practices utilized in all settings? If not, where are gaps occurring? What plans might your team need to ensure monitoring occurs in all common areas.
