Throughout the year I am going to be implementing research-based practices into my curriculum so our students feel prepared once the school year is over. Here is the terminology I will be using along with the definitions that way you can get a better idea of what your children will be working on!]]> 2020-04-16 02:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509729717 bgalloway4 https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509731029 Task analysis is breaking down a skill into smaller, more manageable steps that is easier to grasp and understand. This is especially helpful for some of our students that are on the spectrum because instead of overwhelming them with multiple steps at one time, I will be taking each step apart that way it will be easier. ]]> 2020-04-16 02:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509731029 bgalloway4 https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509733165 Follows a task and is based solely on behavior. For example if you reward the negative behavior and the student realizes that is how they are going to get your attention they will continue to act in a negative way. But if you implement positive reinforcement, whether it be with a "that was really great", "I notice how hard you are working and I am proud of you." the student is more likely to do what is expected. ]]> 2020-04-16 02:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509733165 bgalloway4 https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509735631 Token economy is something I think is beneficial and gives the students a little bit more of a push when they might be feeling discouraged. Token economy is when a student has been staying on task or working extremely hard and they are rewarded with a token of some sort. I will be giving each student a token when I feel they have been working really hard and every Friday they will be able to cash their token in exchange for some sort of prize. ]]> 2020-04-16 02:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509735631 bgalloway4 https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509738219 Showing students a skill while explaining it, I will be using this to show the students what type of behavior I expect from them throughout the year. High school is very important because this is the time when we will be focusing on life skills to prepare them for what it is like outside of school. I will be modeling how I expect them to treat their peers, teachers, and themselves. ]]> 2020-04-16 02:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509738219 bgalloway4 https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509741393 Using stimuli to get a student involved, whether it be through flashcards, audio, or verbal. ]]> 2020-04-16 02:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509741393 bgalloway4 https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509743074 Teaching only the first step of a task requiring independence before moving onto the next step. I will be using this method almost everyday, I want your children to feel confident in everything they do and I believe that making sure they can do each step of a task independently is very important.]]> 2020-04-16 02:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509743074 bgalloway4 https://padlet.com/bgalloway4/behaviornewsletter/wish/509745077 I am looking forward to this year and getting to know you and your children this school year. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about anything that your child is doing at school feel free to email me or set up a one on one. Can't wait to see what this year holds!
