Below is a link about PBIS expectations and how reviewing how to "be respectful, responsible and safe" is critical.

PBISWold.com Tier 1 Positive Behavior Intervention and Support targeted toward large groups, schools, and settings. Review PBS Expectations And Rules on a regular basis to keep students on track with behavior and school rules. The more students hear and are exposed to expectations, the more likely they are to abide by them.

At the middle school I teach at, we also use the expectations of being respectful, responsible, and safe. Instead of "Cougar Code," we call it "The Marquardt Way".

During the first week of school, students go to different stations around the school to listen to a presentation about what these expectations look like in different settings. Some examples are in the hallway, bathroom, library, bus, office, and classroom.

I have also taught these expectations when thinking specifically about the science classroom. Students generated lists of what these expectations look like, sound like, and feel like. Then, we voted on the top 3 of each to make as class rules in which we all signed in agreement to follow.

Attached below is the document I used:

First off, I wanted to say that I really liked the activity students engaged in. I think it helps to make it visual for students about what these expectations look like.

One suggestion I might add is having students act out how to be respectful, responsible, and safe in each setting. Students could still use technology to take pictures of one another as they do this. Then, I think printing out pictures and placing them around the room or school would be a good reminder for students.

According to this Prezi, Active Learning is, "when students take responsibility for their learning and engage in the material through reading, writing, talking, listening, and reflecting." It truly is when students are in charge of their own learning instead of cliche picture of the teacher standing in front of the class and lecturing.

Some examples of active learning would be engaging in labs, problem-based learning, seminars, projects, etc. Anything that is hands on because by doing, children learn better.

Cougar Code is a set of rules that students follow at Coonley Elementary School. The purpose of these rules are to help students know expectations throughout the building. Namely, the rules are to be respectful, responsible, and safe. These rules can look very different depending on the setting students are in throughout their school day!

Here at Coonley students follow a simple code of conduct: be responsible, be respectful and be safe. Sounds simple, right? As adults we all know what this means but for students sometimes it takes a bit more detail. In 4th grade Ms. Malhiot's class decided to dig deeper.

Setting the Stage

Still getting to know each other, Ms. Malhiot's students discussed their various learning styles. As the picture suggests this class is "off the chart" (pun intended!) when it comes to being visual learners. Having that knowledge helps the teacher determine what types of activities students might respond to best.

Even though the Cougar Code is displayed in the classroom Ms. Malhiot decided to take the concept and give students a chance to visually represent it. This not only reinforces the notion that this is an important set of rules but gives students specific examples of what someone might mean when they walk in and say "Be Responsible!", "Be Respectful!" and "Be Safe!"

The Lesson

Room 301 began by using their SmartBoard to have a discussion about what it means to be responsible, respectful and safe. Students listed specific examples for each. After, it was time to storyboard what this would look like. Students worked in groups to fill out a graphic organizer.

The Technology

Once the students had a sense of visual ways they could demonstrate the three codes of conduct it was time to complete the actual artifacts. I came in and used the document camera to demonstrate how to create a collage using the iPad app PicCollage which was already installed on the school iPads. Students were already familiar with the app and eager to get started. They worked cooperatively in small groups to take pictures both in the classroom and around the school to demonstrate their specific code of conduct. They did a great job!

But Wait! There's More!

Here is an example of a 2nd grade class focusing on the same Code of Conduct. I assisted the class in using Educreations to generate a video presentation of their work. They did great!
