Hi everyone, Valerie here, from All Students Can SHINE. I'm sharing a few classroom management tips today! My favorite a...
Behavior maps are an excellent classroom management, behavior management, SEL and social skills tool to help explain (and visually show) the behavior contingency between actions and consequences. These behavior maps present the positive actions students should engage in when they encounter difficult situations (or situations that may evoke un-desirable behaviors) along with the positive consequences they will experience when they engage in these actions. Additionally, the problem behaviors are also displayed (along with the negative consequences) so that students are able to see the direct correlation between their actions and the resulting consequences. In this packet are 22 set examples of situations/triggers, 2 positive and 2 negative behaviors that may commonly occur given this situation/trigger and a positive and negative consequence. These can be printed and shown to the student, or alternatively, it can be printed, cut, laminated and velcroed onto a title board (also laminated) to make the contingency map interactive. Now of course, each student is different and their exact behaviors and consequences for each situation/trigger may be different than the ones in the examples- not to worry- to account for this I have provided multiple additional examples of each category (actions and consequences) as well as additional situations/triggers so that each map can be truly customized to each child (blank tiles have also been provided). Full packet contents: Section 1 Behavior maps for: Asking a friend to play When friends don't want to play My teacher gives me work I am given a direction Things do not go my way Walking in line I want to answer in class Sitting on the rug I need help My work is difficult I am working in a group It's the end of recess Playing a game Losing a game Winning a game It's the end of computer time Someone has something I want My teacher is talking Someone takes something of mine I get mad It's the end of centers It is lunch time (Provided are both a full behavior map, and then an additional blank title board/map page so the behaviors/consequences can be customized for each situation/trigger). Section 2 (customization section) This section includes all of the visuals used in the pre-made behavior maps (along with additional visuals to aid with customization) presented in tile format so that you can print, cut and paste to create truly individualized behavior maps. The templates include to create your own map include: - Blank map page (spots for 2 negative and 2 positive behaviors) - Blank map page (spots for 1 negative and 1 positive behaviors) - Situation/trigger visuals (36 visuals) - Positive behaviors/actions visuals (69 visuals) - Positive consequence visuals (36 visuals) - Negative behaviors/actions visuals (46 visuals) - Negative consequence visuals (46 visuals) - Blank tiles for positive, negative and situations/triggers
