Prep

Teacher Preparation

10 minutes

Step 1

Introduction: Why Track Behavior?

5 minutes

  • Begin with a quick hook using the Behavior Tracker Slide Deck (Slide 1-2).
    - Ask students: 'Have you ever tried to get better at something, like a sport or a video game? How did you know if you were improving?'
    - Explain that just like tracking progress in those areas, tracking our behavior in class can help us improve and achieve our goals.

Step 2

Introducing the Behavior Time Sheet

10 minutes

  • Distribute the My Behavior Time Sheet Worksheet.
    - Go through the Behavior Tracker Slide Deck (Slide 3-5) to explain each section of the time sheet: 'Goal', 'Date/Time', 'Behavior to Track', 'Rating/Notes', and 'Reflection'.
    - Provide clear examples of how to fill out each section, emphasizing honesty and specific observations rather than judgments.

Step 3

Guided Practice

10 minutes

  • Present a few hypothetical scenarios (e.g., 'During group work, I stayed on task and contributed ideas,' or 'I raised my hand before speaking during discussion').
    - Ask students to briefly jot down how they would record these on their My Behavior Time Sheet Worksheet for one or two entries.
    - Circulate the room to offer support and answer questions.

Step 4

Reflection and Next Steps

5 minutes

  • Conclude with a brief discussion using Behavior Tracker Slide Deck (Slide 6-7).
    - Ask students: 'How might using a behavior time sheet help you in class?'
    - Explain that they will have opportunities to use this tool to monitor their own behaviors and work towards personal goals.

How do you know when you're getting better at something? Like a video game? Or a sport?

Welcome students and get them ready to think about improvement. Ask the opening question.

Your Inner Coach

Just like athletes track their stats to improve, you can track your own classroom behaviors to become an even better learner!

Introduce the idea of tracking behavior for improvement, just like tracking scores or stats in a game.

What's a Behavior Time Sheet?

It's your personal tool to:

  • Set goals for yourself
  • Notice your awesome actions
  • Reflect on your progress

Explain what a behavior time sheet is and its main purpose.

Your Behavior Time Sheet: Part 1

  1. My Goal: What do you want to work on? (Be specific! e.g., 'Raise my hand before speaking.')
  2. Date/Time: When did you observe yourself?

Walk through each column, starting with 'Goal' and 'Date/Time'. Emphasize clear, positive goals.

Your Behavior Time Sheet: Part 2

  1. Behavior to Track: What exactly did you do? (e.g., 'Spoke out without raising hand,' 'Stayed focused on task.')
  2. Rating/Notes: How did it go? (e.g., '5 - Great!,' '3 - Needs practice,' plus a quick note.)

Continue explaining 'Behavior to Track' and 'Rating/Notes'. Stress specific, factual notes.

Your Behavior Time Sheet: Part 3

  1. Reflection: What did you learn? What will you do next time? This is where you think about your progress!

Explain the 'Reflection' section. This is key for self-assessment.

Why is this important?

  • You take charge of your own learning!
  • You see how much you improve.
  • You become more aware of your actions.
  • You learn to set and reach goals!

Summarize the benefits and encourage students to use the tool.
