Undesirable Behavior Targeted: Off task behavior including the following: Moving around the room without permission/reason Using cellphone Discussing topics unrelated to activity Misusing materials Sleeping Not listening to/following directions Desirable (expected) Behavior Targeted: Students will exhibit on task behavior by doing the following: Actively listening (listening & not talking when others speak, eyes on speaker) Asking questions about assignments/activities Using materials for their intended purpose Staying in assigned seat/group Discussing only items related to activity Types of positive reinforcements - Reinforced when & how? Immediate & delayed R+ should be related to the final activity being earned. 1. Immediate R+: Students will be given a piece of colored construction paper every time the teacher notices they are performing on task behavior. 2. Ongoing R+ They pieces of construction paper are color coded to fit on a poster with an outline of a rocket. Students will have an opportunity at the end of each class to glue their piece of paper on the designated section of the rocket. When the class has filled an area of the rocket completely, they have earned that piece of the actual rocket they will launch. 3. Overall R+: When they have earned all the pieces to the rocket, they have earned a day to build and launch the rocket as a class. 4. I will administer Immediate R+, the construction paper pieces, by walking around the room during lab time and placing them on tables of students who have demonstrated on task behavior. Ongoing R+ will be added to the poster every day after the class period is over as students are on their way out the door. Interactive Learning Activity Once students have used their pieces of construction paper to fill in the color coded rocket outline and earned all the pieces to the rocket, they will have won the opportunity to spend a class day building and launching a rocket. Students will be practicing their knowledge of force, speed, acceleration, and distance by timing, measuring, and recording the motion and distance of their rocket. TEKS: C.4.C. Teach the Desired Behaviors: Students will learn what on task behavior looks like by first watching a video made by other teachers, in which they model both off task and on task behavior. Teach the Plan: I will teach this plan by having students model the behavior after viewing the instructional video and then practicing this behavior daily in order to earn their pieces of construction paper. Provide options: To implement this across class periods, each period will have their own rocket poster outline that they have to complete with their individual pieces of construction paper. Students can compare and monitor other periods progress on the posters. Necessary Items Construction paper of various colors Poster with rocket outline Rocket pieces Glue Timer Tape measure
