Toward more effective interventions - Behavior Questionnaires & Character Builders

This series of posts comes from a paper, Responsibility, Motivation and Engagement: How To Develop Learners Using Behavior Manager. It describes how Edclick’s Behavior Manager combines three essential capabilities.

1. Proactive PBIS tools to prevent student misbehavior
2. Reactive interventions and processes for misbehaviors to minimize loss of instruction time and keep students in school
3. Data and tools for continuous improvement

Behavior Questionnaires and Character Builders in Behavior Manager

Behavior Questionnaires and Character Builders have been created in Behavior Manager in order to teach students about the natural consequences of their actions through reflection. The Behavior Questionnaires are about specific behavior issues. They can be completed online and be stored with the student’s behavior history or can be printed in PDF format. A list of Behavior Questionnaire issues is shown below.

• Bullying
• Bus Behavior
• Cell Phones or Other Electronic Devices
• Discipline Evaluation
• Disrespect
• Driving Violations
• Fighting
• Gang-Related Activity
• Homework/Project Not Completed
• Horseplay
• Inappropriate Language
• Insubordination
• Misbehavior at an Extracurricular Event
• Missing Mandatory Tutorials
• Off-Task Behavior
• Play Fighting
• Responding to Adults Respectfully
• Restorative Justice
• Running in the Halls
• Signed Materials Not Returned
• Skipping Class
• Skipping School
• Tardies
• Theft (Minor)
• Vandalism

The Character Builders are about character issues. They are not specific to particular misbehaviors. However, they can be used as consequences for misbehaviors where relevant. They can also be used in a general class on character. The Character Builder subjects are shown below.
