Positive Behaviour for Learning

Every child has the right to learn and every teacher has the right to teach. 

        Lesson Plan: Evaluating Problem Solving Strategies 

Step 1: List Learning Intentions and Success Criteria

We are learning to :

Evaluate problem solving strategies to identify which ones best fit different problems

Report problems to classroom teachers as well as parents 

It will look like:

Students trying to solve problems 

Respectful conversations 

Identifying the pros and cons of different strategies 

Step 2:  List a rationale for teaching the behaviour 

Why is it important?

Holy Rosary School Values: Relationships, Respect, Resilience, Integrity, Kindness.

Holy Rosary School Expectations: Safety is our right. Learning is our responsibility. Respect is our way. 

Step 3:  Identify examples and non-examples of the desired behaviour 

What would the behaviour look/sound like?                      

Examples

Students using kind words and actions with each other Having conversations with each other when conflict occurs Coming up with ideas about how to solve a problemListening to each others ideas and thinking about which solution is the most respectful, kind and safeMaking compromises to determine the most respectful, fair and appropriate solutionTelling your classroom teacher about problems you experience (this can be confidential) Asking teachers for help with solving problems 

What would the behaviour not look/sound like?

Non-examples

Yelling at other students when there is a problem

Swearing and using disrespectful language 

Ignoring others when they are trying to talk to you 

Making a decision on behalf of everyone without talking about it first 

Telling your parents about friendship problems but not your classroom teacher
