U.S. Grant PBIS Lesson Plan
Setting: Classroom (Responsible)
Skills and Critical Rule:
· Ask: What are some ways we can BE RESPONSIBLE in classrooms?
o Ask students to define what being responsible means.
o Shape responses into observable behaviors (e.g. if they say to be nice, ask for examples of being nice that equate to observable skills, such as taking turns, asking someone to play…)
· Tell: There are several ways to BE RESPONSIBLE. For example, we can…
· Follow directions the first time they are given / · Take turns· Share with others / · Problem solve
· Listen to others / · Doing your part, sharing, being a team player
· Review: Key behaviors and any other skills the students identify.
Demonstration and Role Play:
· I am going to show you some ways to BE RESPONSIBLE and some ways to BE IRRESPONSIBLE. I want you to watch me and see if you can tell if I am BEING RESPONSIBLE.
· After each example, ask the students if you were BEING RESPONSIBLE. Ask what you might do instead during non-examples.
· Examples:
o Teacher asks students to get out a piece of paper and notebook (have students actually do this: give several other directions that force them to follow the first time given expectation.)
o Have a student ask you for something you have on your desk – tell them, “I am using it, and you will have to wait.”
Role Plays:
· Set up a few practice sessions with students (based on key behaviors of rule) or use older students to role-play appropriate examples of the skill.
o Act out previous examples or create their own.
· Following each role-play, review with students:
o Was he/she BEING RESPONSIBLE? How do you know?
Review and Test:
· Today, we will be watching to see if you are BEING RESPONSIBLE in the classroom. At the end of the day, I will ask you to tell me what you did to BE RESPONSIBLE.
· What should you do today? What am I going to ask you?
