POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL MOMENTUMA – AntecedentB – BehaviorC – Consequences

Get student in the “habit” of agreeing, then ask for targeted behavior.

Research shows 3 incidents of compliance in a row works the best!

Identify High Probability (High P) Behaviors- Name on paper- Pick something up

Request 3 or more High-P Behaviors- Wait for 3 positive responses in a row

Then ask for Low-P (target) behavior

Give appropriate consequences

Carrie, please help me hand out the

papers.Thanks, Carrie. Now help me

straighten out the chairs.

You did a great job with the chairs! Please erase the

board for me.

POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL MOMENTUM

Thanks for erasing the board. Please get started on the first class activity.

Plan Behavioral Momentum into lesson scheduleAvoid starting with “unlikely” activities such as review of homeworkStart with “likely” activities like a game, THEN follow with Low-P request

TIPS FOR LESSON PLANNING

REMEMBER: Easy and hard tasks vary from student to student

Identify High-P Behaviors

(For example: Name on paper, Pick something up, Help out)

Identify 2 Ways to Incorporate Into Your Lesson Plan Assignment

Be ready to share your ideas

YOUR TURN

This activity is called “Think – Pair – Share” and is a cooperative learning strategy.

CONSEQUENCES

Don’t make these ROOKIE mistakes…

Ignoring Compliance: Always reinforce students who comply with your requests.

Ignoring Noncompliance: The student must never be permitted to escape the request.
