4. Results from Woods Grant Reporting Requirement Survey (Winter 2013-14)
See list of results in attachment. How can we use these results to support and grow our management skills? GET members reviewed these and made the following comments:
We need to practice (and re-teach and re-practice) what it looks like to go to the buddy room.
Teacher processing with students is more important than the think sheet.
Items 11-13 about asking provoking questions—What questions do we ask and WHY? What does it look like to hold students accountable?
17: We need to do more role playing and practicing of coping skills to use in the classroom.
24: We need to remember to act when we see it, not wait until we feel it.
19-21 Collaborative planning is so vital to success
27: We all need to reinforce goal behavior—the three life goals at least.
28: We need to teach replacement skills (to get change, not just compliance).
