Behavior Matrices
Expectations Defined

• Once policies are developed, can use a format
  called Student and Staff Matrices to assist with
  teaching, implementing and reinforcing policies.
• Matrices allow you to highlight Parts 23 of your
  Common Area Policies and your SW
  Expectationsaids in teaching and implementing.
• All other parts of the policy are still in place
  and still need to be implemented.
• Matrices are Universal level practices for
  teaching behavioral expectations in non-classroom
  settings.

Student Behavior Matrix

• SW Expectations are left hand column.
• Common Areas across top.
• Specific rules for each common area are listed
  based on the written policy for that area.
• Suggestion If possible, separate rules from
  procedural requirements and only put rules on the
  matrix.
• Ex Use X door to enter the cafeteria
• is a procedural item.
• Ex Clean up after yourself is a rule.

8
Student Behavior Matrix cont

• Should include both procedural items and rules
  when teaching policies and matrices even if both
  are not on the matrix.
• May have to shorten statements on matrixaddress
  with students when teaching.
• Can add a Classroom column and teachers can
  insert their own class rules, but they must be
  specific and observable, not character traits..
• Once student matrix is completed, must do single
  area matrices to put in that common area (Hallway
  example on white).
• Take a minute to look at these.

Staff Expectations Matrix
flashdrive

• Rubrics/examples for Staff Expectations Matrices
  for Elementary (lilac) and Secondary (gray).
• SW Expectations not listed.
• Common Areas listed across top.
• Specific staff expectations as delineated in
  policies are listed for each area.
• Note Some staff expectations may not necessarily
  be specific to a common area policy but may be a
  part of the general expectations or procedures
  for staff at that school ok to include those or
  refer to them on your matrix.
• Should refer staff to attached duty rosters or
  any other appropriate documents that specify
  staff supervision expectations.

Student and Staff Matrices
Ideas for Use

• Student Matrices are used for teaching,
  monitoring, and reinforcing student behavior.
  Tip Do not laminate these!
• Single Area Student Matrices should be developed
  for each common area, laminated, and placed in
  that common area. Useful as a quick reminder for
  staff and students.
• Student Matrix can be given to parents as part of
  your PBS blitz.
• Staff Matrix should be taught to and given to
  staff as part of their PBS Orientation. Useful
  as a quick reminder of procedures and
  expectations for staff throughout the school.

• Have blank rubrics and our examples in folder
  called Matrices single area example is noted as
  Hallway.
• Have examples developed by GCS schools on
  goldenrod in this section.
• Can add additional columns and rows if needed.
• On Student Behavior Matrix, can add Classroom as
  a column and let teachers insert their classroom
  rules.
• Goal Complete your own behavior matrices for
  both staff and student expectations for written
  and completed policies after you have completed
  SWExp and Parts 1-3 of Policies.
