Hard Facts…For every year a behavior is in place it

takes at least one month for that behavior to have a significant change.

Children comply with the rules 80% of the time. However they are complimented for their behavior less than…..

2% of the time

Create More Positive than Negative Consequences

Acknowledging & EncouragingAppropriate Behavior

#2

Research Says… You can improve

behavior by 80% just by pointing out what someone is doing correctly.

A student is less likely to drop out of school if one other adult, other than their teacher, knows their name.

How to Give Positives

Avoid general praise. Instead of “Great job”, say, “Great

job of staying in your seat today.”

Be specific. Point out what they’re doing right.

Say, “Thanks for talking quietly today.”

Restate a bus rule when correcting a student’s misbehavior.

“The bus rule is to sit in the seat facing forward in order to stay safe.”

#3

Restate a bus rule when giving a Red Bus Ticket.

“Way to be respectful! Saying “excuse me” when you bump into someone accidently is the polite

thing to do!”

#4

Be ConsistentStudents need to know boundaries and

need structure.

You won’t be tempted to let your mood

get in the way.

Apply the rules consistently to every

student

Consistent Effective Consequences

use eye contact verbal promptshand signal Re-teach Modelstay calm

tackle the small problems

try not to take it personally

stay consistent

PBIS

Things you could do… Locate a copy of your school

route’s bus expectations Teach expectations to your riders Give out red bus tickets to

students exhibiting the expected behaviors

Use the bus referral system for students who commit major violations of the bus expectations

Reteach the expectations frequently, especially after breaks!

Get to know your riders and greet them each day!

Communicate with building principals and teacher bus supervisors.
