| School Psychology Awareness Week
|
Birdville ISD has 5.5 Licensed Specialists in School Psychology (LSSPs) who provide consultation and assessment services to all 32 campuses. We like to be involved early in order to provide the best support. This allows more opportunities to support prevention efforts and make realistic recommendations that are helpful to school staff. Prevention is a better solution than labeling!
Here are some quick tips for behavior improvement strategies: - Remember to tell students what you expect of them behaviorally and academically before they act. Tell students what you need them to do instead of using "stop" and "don't".
- Sort out why a student is having the behavior you would like to replace. Then help the student replace the behavior with a desirable alternative that serves the same purpose. Two common functions of behavior are to avoid/escape something (environment, task, person, etc.) or attain/get something (preferred item, attention from others, etc.).
- If one student in your class is having a problem that affects everyone, an extra level of positive behavior support for the whole class might be the perfect solution. This might include more frequent and specific positive recognition for all students.
- Be sure to implement a new intervention consistently for at least 10 days. Find an easy way to document what you are doing, and keep documentation simple. If your plan is not working, talk to a colleague or three and try to figure out if the student needs more teaching, a different reinforcer, or more/less frequent reinforcement. Also understand that motivation is a moving target that takes frequent creative reinvents.
