Vision Statement
White Oak needs a consistent, school-wide behavior system that is motivating to students, data driven, and easy for teachers to implement on top of their daily academic expectations.
Formulating Challenges
-How can we get teachers on board?
-How can we have rewards while also clear consequences?
-How can we make it manageable while teaching?
-How can we implement school-wide?
-How can we train teachers in the new system?
-How can we determine who is helping create the new system?
-How can we differentiate for different student needs?
-How can we get students to buy-in?
-How can we ensure it will work throughout the entire year?
-How can we motivate students to improve behavior?
-What might we use as rewards?
-What might we give teachers as resources?
-What might we implement in the younger grades?
-What might we implement in the older
Pick 1 that if resolved would best help achieve the goal:
How can we make a manageable, consistent, school-wide behavior plan that will have clear rewards and consequences while being easy to implement?

Ideas:
- Response Cost
- Step System
- School-store bucks
- Posted charts of reward/consequence
- Treasure Box
- Jobs & Payment
- Clip Charts (Red, Yellow, Green)
- Gems to earn Rewards
- Table Teams
- Sticker Charts
Formulating Solution (create 10 criteria statements)
- Will it be easily manageable?
- Will it be able to be used all year?
- Will it be motivating?
- Will it be data driven?
- Will it be accessible to all students?
- Will it be consistent, while also differentiated to needs?
- Will it be easy to implement?
- Will it have a balance of consequences and rewards?
- Will it include all stakeholders?
- Will it give students an opportunity for growth?
Five Ideas with Criteria in mind:
- Step system with up to 5 levels
- Give students school store money for positive behavior
- Student can use school store money to buy rewards
- Involve students, teachers, administration, support staff, and resource teachers in the planning and implementation
- Clear expectations of increase and decrease in steps
SOLUTION STATEMENT:

A step-system school-wide management program will be used to reward students for positive behavior as well as implement consequences for negative behavior; students will be able to buy rewards with school-wide money (STARRS Bucks) when they earn.

Exploring Acceptance

Sources of Acceptance and uses for them

Step-Program with 5 levels was used in the past

some staff will be familiar with a version of the previous system

Students will have built-in rewards

there will be rewards for all types of student desires

Consequences will be clearly outlined

the step-increase/decrease will have data-driven expectations

Sources of Resistance and possible solutions

Teachers will be hesistant

We could give them resources in July so they have time to review

Difficulties getting students to buy in

Ask students what types of rewards they would like to receive

Teachers might think it takes too much time out of the day

Have built in times twice throughout the day for point sheets and buying rewards

# data[].attributes.body
The Level System is one system for an entire school, that can be modified as needed for special cases.

# data[].attributes.body
Colorful posters, fun school money, and incentive rewards are provided to grab teachers, staff, and student attention.

# data[].attributes.body
The level system has pre-made materials. The colors of each level, with the medals, helps students and staff to remember the progression.

# data[].attributes.body
A version of the level system has worked at White Oak previously (10+ years ago). Since then, different systems have been in place, but there has never been any clear expectations, or research based criteria.

# data[].attributes.body
Staff will care about the leveling system because current behavior management techniques are not working. They will also like that the system is reliable, as well as clearly explained. Students will like the system because it is motivating, with rewards built in.

# data[].attributes.body
Show data of old system, give examples of positive growth with new system. Ask staff to share what they want to improve and then show them the new system with changes.
