Just as the stork didn’t bring a manual about how to be a parent

Parents also don’t get information on how to be involved at school.

grades don’t improve … somebody is getting a

spanking.

Who Better To Help with the Transformation?

Hidden Resources

Universal Support

•  Get everyone involved- help the parents and teachers see how to be connected

Program •  Set up a program night and share with

parents how they can be involved in school – What do you want them to do? – How do you want them to help? – Put it on the school website afterwards for

those that could not attend.

3/23/16&

16&

Give parents the words to use… •  When your child comes home

with a gotcha make a big deal out of it: –  Ask them what behavioral

expectation they were caught doing.

–  Help tie that to home. If they say, “I was caught respecting others.” Ask your child what that would look like at home, in the mall, at the baseball field etc.

Reward your child with:

•  Time and attention – not snacks or food – Let them choose what you fix for dinner that night – Let them help cook dinner – Let them choose what the family watches on television – Let them choose the movie you go see that weekend – Let them choose bedtime stories etc.

Review •  Review the behavioral expectations with

your child each morning before they leave for school.

•  Ask your child during dinner to give you an example of how they “showed respect for others” (whatever the expectations for the school are)

•  If your child has limited abilities: Make a PowerPoint of your child using the behavioral expectations appropriately and show this movie to your child daily.

Ask parents to come to school

•  Donate 1 hour a month (have a set schedule) – Mrs. Jones has the third Thursday of every month

•  Come at lunchtime and pass out “gotchas”- catch students being good slips

Ask parents to come to school •  Volunteer in a grade other than their own

child’s – Sit at table in hallway and help students with

RtI activities •  Reading •  Spelling •  Writing •  Math

Donations •  Make up a list of donations parents can

participate in- for those who work and can’t donate time: – Pencil packages – School supplies – Toilet paper tubes – Old Palm Pilots – Old Ipods

3/23/16&

17&

Implementing Interventions

•  Figure out what parents are showing up and what parents are not – Put strategic interventions in place to get all parents involved.

Rewards to get parents there

•  Offer 4 free hours of childcare on a Saturday – Contact Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts

•  Scouts can earn badges for babysitting •  Scout leaders will be there for supervision •  Have planned indoor and outdoor activities •  Have adult leadership- ask teachers to donate one hour of leadership

supervision

Offer 100 gotchas for parents attending parent night

Homework Free Pass

•  Secondary level- – Offer a pass for a free pass on homework- if parents attend, the

student gets a pass.

Best Results We Ever Got •  Invited students to come have dinner with Santa- High

School students ran the whole evening with the kids •  I got two hours to talk to parents about School-wide

PBIS- We had to go get chairs because we had more parents than we expected- it was a packed house.

Progress Monitoring

•  How are you doing with connections- what gets measured gets done

3/23/16&

18&

Each One Save Five: Once a week

•  Must make contact with that student: – Email through parent – Note in locker or desk – Note sent by messenger to home room – Post card sent home – Positive phone call left on answering machine – Shout out in school newsletter – Shout out on morning announcements

First Step

•  Relationship Building – Positive Phone Call Tree

If not in triplicate- why not? Your “Gotchas” should be triplicate- here’s

why •  Parents will get a copy right away-this is good Public

Relations •  One copy goes to the home room teacher for “points” •  One copy goes to the principal for “counting” and for a

random drawing- this helps with the three levels of contingency and rewards in your school as well.

Triplicate Are you keeping track of who-what-when- where and why?

•  Free tool on www.behaviordoctor.org under materials- and data collection tools- easy to adapt to your situation.

•  Link for Wednesday

Decision Making

•  Decide what might be a problem coming up and plan that month’s parent meeting around it- – For instance- high stakes testing

Game- Make-it/Take-it Night •  What you need

–  Poster boards –  Game templates (think Monopoly) –  Stickers –  Markers –  Dice –  Spinners –  Markers –  Crayons –  Laminating Film and person to run the laminator

Tardies to class….   Flying into seat after bell rings…

  Two ideas that have worked:  Number the chairs

  Tushie in the cushie at bell- drawing to sit in teacher’s chair   Tushie in the hall – no chance at all

 Play music   Turn in requests to office for approved music   Play polka music last 1 minute before bell   As long as tardies go down – continue to play popular music   Tardies go up- play polka music entire 4 minute passing period

Areas to Consider for Student Voice?   What are the real issues?   Teaching- How will you teach and re-teach the expectations?   What will you use for Gotchas?   Are gotchas too “elementary” for MS students?   What will the rewards be?

www.surveymonkey.com   Send out newsletters with a link to the survey you created.   Give a deadline   Have a contest

 Put a secret word in the survey  Have students mail in a 3 by 5 card with the secret word and their return address.  Draw name and give a prize for people who take the time to do the survey

  Set up the survey so you can only enter once from each computer.

Invite students to 2 day training
