retired from school district work but still active in supporting students and their families (somehow!)

4/6/2020

0 Comments

 
In the fall of 2019 I joined the BC Provincial Outreach Program for Autism and Related Disorders (POPARD) as a Education and Behaviour Consultant.  I travelled throughout British Columbia working with school teams and parents to support students with autism.  I was honoured to meet so many dedicated educators in small towns such as Lytton, Nakusp, Terrace and Kitimat as well as the larger centre of Vernon.  Autism does not recognize religion so I was invited in by teams from Catholic, Christian and Public schools alike and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the different approaches taken.

​This was an amazing opportunity and I cannot say enough good things about the dedication and professionalism of the consultants and support staff. However, I decided that I needed to be closer to my family and on March 31st, 2020 I retired from active teaching and consulting and moved back to Calgary, Alberta.  I intend to continue on with my career in a different capacity still focusing on students with additional learning needs, particularly those who are having serious challenges with self-regulation across many domains - biological, emotional, cognitive,  social and prosocial - at school, at home and in the community.  

Our current situation with Covid-19 and the shutting down of schools has given me the opportunity to get settled in my new home and starting today, work with my grandchildren via distance learning! My next step is to find a way to be able to offer my support in some way to schools and families who still need it.  

In the meantime, I will have a chance to update my website, particularly the science and socials units which are designed to be used with technology and which I think many teachers and families might find useful.

Please feel free to make use of the lesson plans and resources and contact me with any questions you might have!

All the best to you and please stay safe.

     I know.  You are so busy that your head is spinning.  You have just handed in your final progress reports (maybe) and you have 3 field trips to go and I come knocking on your door or send you an email.  Ugh.  I am the LAST person you want to talk to.
     Who am I?  Your school Learning Support teacher or Resource Teacher or whatever your school district chooses to call the person who supports the students in your school who need that extra help.  I am usually part of your school based team (SBT) and we have been busy too.  One of our jobs is deciding where the best fit is  for those students for next year.
     .....and we picked you!!!!!  You will have one or more students with IEPs in your classroom next year.  This may be new to you or maybe you have done this many times but I just want to encourage you to start planning ahead for next year using a different approach.
​     Maybe you have heard of Shelley Moore?  If not, you can google her while you are sitting on the beach.  I just want to suggest that over the summer you consider using her approach; planning for those students with different learning needs FIRST and all else will follow.  Kind of a mind-altering concept!  Here are some suggestions to do that planning. 
     My first suggestion is to visit SETBC's online self-directed course called Curriculum for All.  There are five modules that attempt to answer the following question, "How can we, as educators, strategically and collaboratively plan to provide an inclusive learning environment for all students, regardless of grade, content or cognitive ability?"  The course was developed by Shelley and is full of great information and ideas for planning an inclusive learning environment.  It will fill you in on the why's and the how's!
     My second suggestion would be to go directly to Shelley's blog
 "Blogsomemoore - Teaching and Emplowering ALL Students".  She has handouts, videos and other resources you can go through that will give you an overview of her ideas.
     My third suggestion (if you already have an idea of how to do this and want to get right to work) would be to go to her Template page.  Here you will find, free for your use, all the tools, templates and strategies to get going.  For example, she has the Class Review template (Brownlie & King, 2000) which will help you get to know your students and the Unit Planning Pyramid to really be able to use our new BC Curriculum with your whole class. 
     My last suggestion would be to talk to this year's teachers before you leave for the summer and perhaps even arrange for a visit for your new students to your classroom if at all possible.  Yes, things may change over the summer but the more you know about each other ahead of time, the easier the September start will be.  You could even put together a short picture story telling your new student(s) about what the first days in your classroom will be like.  
       My role as a Learning Support/Resource Teacher is to help you every step of the way.  Please ask me questions and invite me to come in.  If I don't know an answer, I will find out.  Together, we can make next year the best year ever for ALL your students.
      Have a wonderful summer, I know you have earned it!

AVERsive childhood events (aces) - do you have students experiencing toxic stress in their lives

PictureThe Developing Brain and ACEs

I have so fortunate to have a dream position with the New Westminster School District.  I support and provide resources to students who are struggling in school.  I also work with their teachers, parents and other support people, both school and community based.  My position is called District Behaviour Support Teacher.

As I am both a certified teacher and a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), I usually find it quite straightforward to help school-based teams determine the function of the behaviour (FBA) and write a Positive Behaviour Support plan to help the school teach the student new, more beneficial skills.

However, I have a few students that are not making progress despite everything the school, community, medical profession and home are trying to provide.  I have gotten to know the children and their families well as we have now worked together for years.  These are young children who have so many strengths and it is heartbreaking to see them in emotional and physical distress, day after day and not able to learn or interact with their peers. 

I recently accompanied a young mom to visit her child's psychiatrist. The psychiatrist told her that she should be satisfied that her child is staying at school all day under the supervision of caring people.  That's all she can expect. Really?  He doesn't have a severe intellectual disability or autism.  He is creative, kind and imaginative.  He WANTS to learn.  And yet, he is totally unable to take part in any type of learning or activity with his peers without shutting down or exploding.  We've been through assessment programs and have a huge Case Management team.  We're following their recommendations.  What are we all doing wrong? Are we doing anything wrong?

Even more distressing is that this is not an isolated scenario in our school district.

​Helping these children will mean a very steep learning curve for parents, school professionals and me.  I'll attempt to share the information and resources that I have found helpful in this blog and on my website.  Together, perhaps we can make some positive changes for these very vulnerable children.

Today I received a link to an excellent article which explains some of the brain science behind trauma, toxic stress and ACEs.  www.acesconnection.com is a great source of current information.

The Developing Brain & Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
 LISA FREDERIKSEN 4/26/188:51 AM 
Thanks to an explosion in scientific research now possible with imaging technologies, such as fMRI and SPECT, experts can actually see how the brain develops. This helps explain why exposure to adverse childhood experiences can so deeply influence and change a child's brain and thus their physical and emotional health and quality of life across their lifetime.​

I am all about the power of providing students with the knowledge and tools they need to be able to regulate themselves throughout their days.  I respect Dr. Stuart Shanker for the amazing work which he, the MEHRIT Centre and the Canadian Self-Regulation Initiative have done in this area.  I am also in awe of Leah Kuyper, whose simple idea for a program called the Zones of Regulation  has benefited so many students and teachers.

Here are my top ten strategies for encouraging self-regulation in the classroom.   Top Ten Strategies

New Years Resolutions - bank accounts and bucketfilling: building "good will" with students

12/29/2016

1 Comment

 
Picture
"Pairing" is an ABA word for building trust and a relationship with another person.  It is a fundamental prerequisite for teaching.  Fortunately, most individuals want to build relationships with others.  It is part of our basic makeup as social beings.  In a school setting, it looks like eager, excited students arriving in the classroom each day, ready to interact with others, able to sit and listen to the teacher, willing to learn and complete work for the satisfaction that it brings to themselves and others.  These students find building relationships motivating and rewarding.  Their buckets are already usually pretty full.  They can keep them full by filling others' buckets.

However, there are more and more students who, through no fault of their own, arrive at school either without the motivation or the skills (or neither one) to build and maintain relationships.  These students with "holes" in their buckets or are without the means to fill their own buckets These students need our help!  I just read a saying "The empty bucket makes the most noise!"  How true this is.

For more on Bucketfilling in your classroom, start at http://www.bucketfillers101.com/.

If the student has autism or another developmental disability, we may need to build relationships with them through external reinforcement.  This means identifying items and activities that they enjoy and then being the person to provide them with no strings attached at first (noncontingent positive reinforcement).  Once the student identifies you as "the giver of all good things" you have taken the first steps towards establishing a relationship and building goodwill.  Only then, can you start asking the student to complete tasks or activities that are easy for him and that he already knows how to do.  Learning new skills and completing difficult tasks require a solid relationship where the student trusts that if they finish work, they will be rewarded with an activity that they enjoy, or in other words, is reinforcing.  When we build this trusting relationship, interactions with us become reinforcing as well.  

The best way to do this is by routinely finding out what the student likes (called a preference assessment) providing these activities and items on a consistent basis and slowly increasing the difficulty of the requests made of her..

However, it is not only students with autism who may need help building positive relationships with their teacher.  Any student who finds learning or interacting with others challenging may need support.  This could be a child with a learning disability, ADHD, ODD, trauma or frequent school moves.  It could also be a child who finds life outside the classroom to be more rewarding, such as a talented athlete,  video gamer or avid reader.  

They may also need positive reinforcement more frequently than others. Learn Alberta lists Positive Relationships as the number 1 way to support effective, positive classroom management. www.learnalberta.ca/content/inspb2/html/1_positiverelationships.html

Another way of looking at this is described by Christopher Pugliese and Eran Magen in an article published February 2016 in ASCD Express, called "A Relational Bank Account That Pays Dividends".

"Well, I said to her, 'You know, kids don't learn from people they don't like'"
–Rita Pierson, legendary educator from a Ted Talk entitled Every Kid Needs a Champion

Every student has a "bank" of relationships, with an "account" for every teacher the student interacts with. The balance in your relational account with a student represents the amount of goodwill that the student has toward you—or, put differently, the extent to which the student will inconvenience him- or herself to cooperate with you.
When you ask a student to do something he or she would not naturally do (for example, asking a hesitant student to offer an answer, or asking a student who is inspired to sing in the middle of your lesson to work quietly), you are making a withdrawal from the relational account, because you are asking the student to do something that the student would prefer not to do. If your relational account balance is high, the student will cooperate willingly. If your relational account balance is low, the student may cooperate—reluctantly. If your relational account balance is insufficient, your request will be denied."  (read more)​
Relationship Deposits, Withdrawals and Overdraft

The article goes on to describe relational deposits and withdrawals and how to avoid overdraft.  This is such a straightforward way to think about interacting positively with your students.  Relationship deposits are made when you:
  • are nice to a student, 
  • give praise for accomplishments and effort,
  • say thank you,
  • ask for and try out student suggestions and ideas
  • and take an interest in their lives and interests outside of school.  
When you have a high relationship balance (lots of good will) with a student, they will try difficult tasks, cooperate with you and associate even challenging activities with a feeling of being liked and respected.  This strengthens intrinsic (internal) motivation.  Acknowledging their efforts builds upon your relationship.

Relationship withdrawals happen when you ask a student to behave in any way which is different than they already do, which is the definition of learning!  A relational bank account uses withdrawals to further strengthen trust between individuals. However excessive withdrawals happen when you repeatedly ask a student to complete tasks or activities which they feel are too difficult or not meaningful or act in a way towards them which they see as being mean or disrespectful.  Another way to look at this is bucket dipping.

Relationship overdrafts will occur when you have made more withdrawals than deposits.  When this happens a student may refuse to cooperate with a request even if it is reasonable and they are capable.  If you try to force compliance by threatening, bullying or coercing, the results can be unpleasant.  The student may learn to comply only when under pressure and require stronger and stronger consequences.  They may develop negative associations with either the activity or yourself and power struggles are a definite possibility. 

How to Strengthen Relationships in Your Classroom

1.  DO NOT treat all students the same.  Learn about individual strengths and challenges, interests and dislikes and use this knowledge.

2.  Make relationship deposits whenever possible.  A typical student requires at least a 4:1 ratio of deposits to withdrawals.  A student with challenges consistently requires more.  Think of a bucket with holes in it.  The more holes the more deposits that are required while you work on plugging the holes.

3.  Make your withdrawals purposeful and the smallest required to achieve your goal.

4.  Find a way to replenish your deposit account as soon as possible after a withdrawal.

5.  If you are dealing with an overdraft situation, consider asking for support from your School Based Team, especially if you have tried to fix the situation and it has not gotten better.

6.  Look into strengthening relationships in your entire school by using the free resource from The Center for Supportive Relationships - available here at your next staff meeting or professional development day.

Consider applying this model to all your relationships - professional, volunteer and family.  Making relationship deposits can become a positive habit.  When withdrawals do occur, having a large balance results in more cooperative relationships, a willingness to support one another, less stress and greater respect and enjoyment.  What a great way to keep everyone's bucket full!

                                                         What a great way to start the New Year!

Time away: a self-regulation strategy for the classroom

3/5/2016

0 Comments

 
PictureCalm down spot under a air hockey table!
Almost every classroom has one or two (or sometimes more) students who are very good at avoiding work and activities that they are unwilling or unable to do.  They may engage in acting out behaviours that interfere with the learning of others and result in being removed from class or passively but defiantly sit and not complete the work.  Either way, the work does not get done and learning does not take place. 
 
There are many reasons why a student is not able to work at a particular moment.  Having a classroom strategy in place to handle those times will be helpful.
 
Most teachers have at least heard about or used Time Out.  Time Out can either mean that the student is removed from the class or that reinforcement is not available to the student for a period of time.  In either situation, the teacher decides when a Time Out is needed and is considered punishment for inappropriate behaviour.  During the most common, Time Out from the class, a student is placed in the hall, another teacher's classroom or sent to the office.  Time Out from reinforcement occurs when a student is not allowed to participate in a classroom management system that rewards appropriate behaviour with points.  Time Out occurs after inappropriate behaviour happens.
 
Time Away is different.  Used as a preventative measure to support self-regulation, Time Away is an agreement between a student and a teacher that the student can decide a particular activity or learning task is too difficult or that he or she cannot complete it at that time.  Rather than engaging in disruptive behaviour, the student has the option to leave the task or activity and move to a spot in the classroom which has been set up for such times.  The student stays in that spot until they feel they are ready to start on the task, at which time they move back to their desk.
 
Time Away can also be called "cooling off", "calming down" or "taking a break".  The specific place in your classroom can also have a name such as the "Peace Place", "Calm Zone" or Cool Down Corner.
 
Using the Time Away strategy should be discussed and taught in the similar manner as other classroom routines. 

  1. During a class meeting or large group instruction time, explain that sometimes, even after they have asked for and received help, some students feel too upset, worried or angry to do the work.   It could be because of a problem with the work, at home, or with a friend.
  2. Ask your class for the physical signs that they might feel in their body such as heart beating faster, stomach feeling weird, or their face turning red. 
  3. Discuss possible actions that could happen when they feel this way, such as not being able to think clearly, yelling or even pushing or throwing things.
  4. Brainstorm different ways to help change the way they are feeling.  List them on the board.  Have students identify which ideas they could use in the classroom.  You might have students draw themselves using one of the strategies.
  5. Tell the class that you are going to have a spot in the class that they can quietly go to when they are feeling upset before they do something that might get them in trouble or disrupt another student's learning.  You can either have the group choose a name or have one ready.
  6. You might want show a basket or box with items that they can use such as a fidget, stuffed animal, paper and crayons or magazines.  Point out that these are not toys, they are tools to help them get back to learning.
  7. Explain to the class that Time Away is to be done by themselves, using a tool to help themselves feel better and able to work with you to find a solution to their problem.
  8. Emphasize that when they feel decide they are feeling better they can come back to their desk and you will come over to check in with them and make a plan.
  9. Roleplay quietly going to the Time Away spot and coming back to join the class.  Talk about potential problems such as what to do if it is already being used, or the bell goes.  Be clear that the work needs to be finished and have students come up with some options as well as your own.  This could be finishing at recess or lunch, during free time or sent home as homework.
 
Once you have all the pieces in place, practice your own words.  According to Diana Browning Wright (2008), teacher, psychologist and behaviour analyst, the conversation that you have with a student who needs some "Time Away" could sound like this,
 
                "Sarah, I am really pleased that you came in from recess on time and sat down in your desk.  However, I have noticed that you seem very upset and unable to get started on your math work, even though we talked about the problem at recess and I have helped you with a few questions.  You know that when you aren't feeling like you can do school work you can always move to the Chill Zone.  Take a minute and think about your two choices, 1) start your work or 2) chill out for a while.  I'll be back in a minute to see what you have decided."
 
It is important to call the student by name and mention positive behaviours they have already displayed.  Point out the problem behaviour and remind the student that you have already tried to work together.  Give the student the power to pick between two acceptable choices and time to think.  If the student chooses Time Away, be sure to provide a positive acknowledgement and assistance if required when they return to their desk.
 
You could have a sign in sheet for students who use the Time Away space or just keep track for yourself.  If a student is spending a lot of time, a call home to discuss the behaviour is definitely in order.  Review of the academic demands and support in place for the student may be necessary as well.
 
The Time Away strategy works best in a classroom with effective classroom management and a positive, respectful and trusting relationship between students and adults.  There are many examples of Time Away on the internet which provide pictures and resources.  Time Away can provide a safe and appropriate option for students who struggle with self-regulation without disrupting the learning taking place in your classroom.

My new position

9/15/2015

0 Comments

 
PictureNew Westminster Secondary School on a beautiful spring day. Image from www.sd40.bc.ca
I am so excited to begin my new position with the New Westminster School District.  Probably the biggest difference between my work as a behaviour analyst/teacher in Calgary is the size of the District.  The Calgary Board of Education was huge - over 14,000 teachers, 100,000 students and 225 schools.  New Westminster, by comparison, is tiny.  We have 9 elementary schools, two middle schools and one secondary school.  There are about 6000 students altogether.  It is small in area as well (about 15 km squared), so it is an easy drive from one school to the next (except for trying to cross the Queensborough Bridge at rush hour!)  The city is rapidly growing in size and a third middle school is being built.

My position will be to support students with significant behaviour challenges in regular classrooms and their teachers, support staff and parents. This is different from other school districts where I have worked.  There are no separate programs for students with special needs.  What I have seen already is the huge investment of time and energy that principals, teachers and other staff provide in planning and providing supports for these students rather than a single special education teacher.  This is teamwork in action.  A bonus is the availability of District Administrators to discuss issues and provide guidance.

My position is to help these school-based teams to access already available supports and work with outside agencies to be more effective and efficient and provide direct supports to students when needed.

​I'm looking forward to the challenge!

The last day of school - waiting for the bus!
I can't believe an entire school year has gone by.  This is the first time that I have taught a primary class and it is amazing how much young children grow and change.  I remain a strong believer in the importance of early intervention and intensive programming.

We held on to most of our routines and schedules right until the last day of school and it helped our classroom stay calm and in control even though we had lots of Buddies drop in to say goodbye and drop off gifts for their friends. On Thursday we invited our two Grade 3 friends, Tita and Trish to join us for a wrap-up party with McDonalds' lunches.  We had a great time!

Thank you to all the parents, teachers and students who helped us throughout our first year at Monterey Park.  A very special thanks to Shauna, Veronica and Mona for your hard work, dedication and understanding.  You have been wonderful to work with.
