Cafeteria Monitor Training

Behavior RTI- Universal Level Focus on common areas of the building including: –Hallways –Cafeteria –Playground –Arrival –Dismissal

What does behavior RTI look like in the common areas? Behavioral expectations (rules) are posted Students are taught expectations Students and staff can state the behavioral expectations Adults monitor expected behavior Students are reinforced for appropriate behaviors Misbehaviors are consistently corrected

Using Pre-correction Remind students of the expectations in an effort to prevent problem behaviors from occurring Example- “Remember when you go to line up you should walk and stay in a single file line.”

Using Behavioral Narration Step 1: Notice those students who are following expectations. Step 2: Tell the students what you have noticed about their behaviors. Example- “I see everyone at this table is seated on their bottom and are keeping their hands to themselves.”

Using Active Supervision Be Visible Circulate –Move around and towards potential problems Scan –Continuously monitor the entire area

Using an Attention Signal Lights out, flashing lights, sign, etc. What is expected= silence Provide feedback to students

Using 3:1 Ratio of Interactions Interact with students at least 3 times more often when the students are behaving appropriately than when they are misbehaving

Positive Rewards/Incentives Verbal Praise- way to go, good job, keep it up, etc. Thumbs up/High five Soar Tickets Communication with teacher (through clip board sheet)

Cafeteria Consequences Speak privately to student- remind student of expectation Inform teacher (via clipboard) Move student to isolated space Contact administrator

Situation 1: You are monitoring a 5 th class of 25 students. 10 of the students appear to be meeting all expectations. 15 students are talking loudly to their peers and spinning around in their seats. How can you acknowledge the students who are meeting expectations. What can you say or do? What steps should you take with those students who are not following expectations?

Situation 2: You have noticed that students in a 2 nd grade class often run to throw away their trash and will frequently leave napkins on the table. How should you handle this situation?

Situation 3 The cafeteria has gotten very loud and many students are yelling. What do you do to get everyone’s attention? What should you say or do?
