When I watched this video, I agreed with the concept that behavior is learned and that it can be changed. I learned ways in which society has implemented positive behavior reinforcements for adults.

Efficient & Effective Response Strategies

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated that these strategies were written so that they do not interupt the flow of instruction, and can become a natural part of what we do each day. I also felt that many of these strategies if implemented in time; can prevent more extreme behaviors from occurring.

# data[].attributes.body
When reflecting on positive strategies, the ABC's of behavior are still important to take into consideration when looking at the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Got it- no sarcasm :)

# data[].attributes.body
All behavior serves a purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
Changing the way we do things can yield better results.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive behavior is a choice.

# data[].attributes.body
The example of banks changing their process with ATMs- I think of that every time I use the ATM. But, I wonder how I could apply that strategy to yield better results with behaviors that are so frustrating, like forgetting to write names on papers, etc.?

# data[].attributes.body
Easy daily strategies can and will limit distractions and improve the classroom setting.

# data[].attributes.body
Proximity is a good strategy because learning flow is not interupted

# data[].attributes.body
Acknowledging correct behavior is one of the most powerful tools in any educator's toolbox.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the 4 to 1 positive to negative statements will improve student perception and results.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite strategies are proximity and planned ignoring/praising. Stamps are a great way to "praise" the appropriate behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Finding a way to use an antecedent prior to having to change any behavior might be useful. We have to know our kiddos.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes we get caught in a loop of bad behavior! We have to understand the causes and what the student is trying to avoid or gain to help prevent the bad behavior from occurring, rather than just react to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Although sometimes difficult, it is important for us to remember that behavior can be changed. I appreciated the positive reinforcement examples that were offered within an adult lifestyle. A primary expectation, is to change the antecedent. It also may take time to find the function of the behavior that is occurring.

# data[].attributes.body
Provide frequent feedback while students are working to reinforce positive behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Being specific gives other students a desired behavior to strive toward.

# data[].attributes.body
Giving students the opportunity to respond more often will increase understanding and let the teacher know when topics have been mastered.

# data[].attributes.body
Redirecting often makes them refocus and "forget" their negative behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand the purpose of collecting baseline data so I can make a goal and a plan to reach the goal for increasing behavior specific praise, but I'm not sure I can find time for that. A different method to improve in this area is to choose a handful of students per day to make sure I'm interacting positively with and rotate through my list, choosing different students each day.

# data[].attributes.body
This video was rough for me. I don't agree with all of it. I want students in class, but not at the cost of other students' education.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a nice reminder that there is a reason for all behavior. They act that way for a reason. So the positive responses for good behavior can help because it gives them a reason to act in that way..

# data[].attributes.body
While I agree that Behavior Specific Praise is an exceptional method, I do believe that students can become de-sensitized to it if over-used.

# data[].attributes.body
Amanda, I also agree with these strategies becoming part of a routine within teaching. There is the importance for distinguishing examples versus non-examples. Although praise may not work for all students, it is so reassuring/rewarding when it does.

# data[].attributes.body
They learn what they live. Unfortunately not all is good.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive greetings at the door establishes a positive classroom setting and is an easy 4 to 1 starter should a correction need to be made.

# data[].attributes.body
Behavior specific praise takes more "active" teacher thinking than general praise, but should get better results.

# data[].attributes.body
Student behavior we see at school is a reflection of their home life. They act in a way that is "normal" to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Often we use these strategies everyday in the classroom without thinking about it. It is important to be intentional and use then effectively to get the best results.

# data[].attributes.body
Through observation, I've learned the importance of being specific when praising. I've seen student(s) confused as to why they are being praised.
I hadn’t heard of the Be+ app until watching this video.

# data[].attributes.body
I love using kids' names when I greet them in the hall. They know I am specifically speaking to them individually. I think it makes them feel important and special.

# data[].attributes.body
As an elementary teacher, I could have used this strategy very easily. At the MS, though, it would be more challenging to fit in the free time, but maybe it could be used monthly or biweekly. I like that it can be used with the whole class vs just one or two students.

# data[].attributes.body
A positive interaction as they enter is the easiest way to have one positive interaction that hour.

# data[].attributes.body
Practicing expected behaviors is when we show them exactly what is wanted from them. Make sure to praise and point out the good choices that were made.

# data[].attributes.body
Are we really changing behavior with anything we do?
Some days, nothing seems to work!

# data[].attributes.body
It's important to be specific when praising students for their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
A greeting of any sort is a positive.

# data[].attributes.body
Always looking for ways to provide positive behavior to replace the behavior that should be changed/eliminated

# data[].attributes.body
I never thought about teaching kids how to respond to redirection with words like, "You Bet". It might be cool to use one phrase across our whole Grade Level and continue to reinforce it for each class.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching this video, I agree that negative behavior in students can be changed using positive strategies. It is important to assess what the student is getting out of the initial consequence of their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some of our students who struggle could benefit from using the Matrix charts that we already have in order to self monitor their behavior. I think we could further use these to help our tier 2 and tier 3 students.

# data[].attributes.body
Behavior Specific Praise is important because it shows students exactly what behavior you are praising. Using it in the classroom can help to encourage other students to exhibit that behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Re-directing, positive feedback, and proximity has been what works best for me. Students love the stamps!

Start the class with positive and the positive will continue rolling down hill.

Behavior continues because behavior works!

# data[].attributes.body
Student conferences should not be done in front of other students.

# data[].attributes.body
I see what they're saying but don't fully agree. If one student is constantly causing issues and keeping everyone else from learning then at what point do the consequences ramp up. How is it fair to the kids that are doing what they're supposed to?

# data[].attributes.body
Building-wide consistency will always be difficult as teachers have a wide range of tolerance for different behaviors.

# data[].attributes.body
I like using proximity because it tends to take care of behaviors without slowing down the class. I also like giving choices because it limits the conversation and gets everyone back on track quicker.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that consequences/responses can be redefined based on the situation

# data[].attributes.body
Asking students easier questions, when starting class, will give them success. This can lead to a higher success rate when the tougher questions are asked.

# data[].attributes.body
I think is important to ask yourself why the student is misbehaving. That should be the driving force behind the consequence/punishment.

# data[].attributes.body
This helps build a connection with the kids which obviously will help with a positive environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Proximity-easy one to do in the classroom, but not always in the gym.

# data[].attributes.body
I have always been intentional with meeting with students privately in the hallway to discuss the issue at hand. The intentionality has been the key.

# data[].attributes.body
Let's students know that you notice,are paying attention and are concerned. Gives the students some "power" over their own behavior to use what you have retaught.

# data[].attributes.body
This video reinforced the importance for changing the reaction/response if the student is consistently repeating the behavior(s).

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed these strategies are effective when done consistently and with intention.

# data[].attributes.body
4 to 1 is hard to do sometimes....I think one big positive can be worth 2.

# data[].attributes.body
The ABC's are a good reminder that there usually is an antecedent to cause the behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
It could be fun! It would be hard to fit in free time or something "free" as a reward, but little candies or something would be simple.

# data[].attributes.body
While I agree that time out of class may not change that individual student's behavior every time, it does have an impact on the behavior of other students. I think one of the main reasons students are sent out is that they are influencing the learning of others and causing a disruption in the classroom, sending them out is often the only way to cause this disruption to start. So, we should be intentional and careful with using these strategies, but they do have a time and place.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course, 4 To 1! The 4 should be legitimate positives, like one actually means it.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a good reminder that students most often get attention for unwanted behaviors.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that many studies have supported the use of praise for its benefits with behavior and rapport.

# data[].attributes.body
It would be hard to accept the positive phrases with a sarcastic tone. However, I am sure not reacting to it over time, it would become positive.

# data[].attributes.body
In one form or another, this is right out of Teaching 101.
However, it can come off as ingenuine when when over-used.

# data[].attributes.body
I find this beneficial to help redirect students also build a relationship with them. BUT is very difficult to find time if you teach bell to bell.

# data[].attributes.body
When feedback is specific, other students see what the expected behavior needs to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Paying attention to the antecedent is so important because it can redefine how we view the behavior and how we can best respond in a way that will correct negative behavior instead of reinforcing it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that this intervention would be easier to implement at the elementary level, especially with switching classrooms/teachers/peers, every hour.

# data[].attributes.body
Response cards could be a good way to mix up opportunities to respond. Using digital cards of some sort might be engaging.

# data[].attributes.body
These are all great strategies that can help modify behavior without really calling out the student and possibly embarrassing them.

# data[].attributes.body
Too often I'm frustrated with negative behavior that I forget to praise positive behavior. I need to be intentional and remember to vocalize praise to encourage the positive behavior from others.

# data[].attributes.body
This strategy may be easier to implement at the elementary level, but I think there are still some ideas that we can take from it. Choice or free time can be built into class weekly for students who complete all their work, or for hours that get through every lesson. I do think that students are motivated to work harder and pay attention if they believe they will gain some extra time to do something they like. It is definitely an idea to think about!

# data[].attributes.body
I have used all of these strategies in my teaching. They need to be incorporated on a regular day to day basis for consistency.

# data[].attributes.body
Proximity without addressing the student's behavior is a good strategy.

# data[].attributes.body
I love ignore, praise, attend. All kids love to be praised, especially in front of their peers. If an off task student hears the praise of another and knows that if they change their behavior praise is coming their way too, it often does change their behavior. You just have to be sure to deliver the praise or you have defeated the purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that questioning strategies can offer a wide array of opportunities to respond.

# data[].attributes.body
Being specific when praising is very important. General praises are not as effective and sometimes confuses the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Not sure I agree with all parts of the video. Sometimes removing the 1 students from instructional time benefits 25 other students.

# data[].attributes.body
When done privately, Student Conferences remove the audience and, therefore, reduce the chance that the student will react poorly in an effort to "save face".

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed lately that my door greetings are paying off now with students greeting me first.

# data[].attributes.body
Time in the classroom is very important for learning. However, time out of the classroom with some students is sometimes extremely important. We have many students who truly need a change for a moment or a while.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive reinforcement is rewarding for the majority of individuals/students. This method provides a visual reminder. At the secondary level, this may become time-consuming, but could certainly be beneficial.
