  1. BOSS teachers learn a ‘script’

  2. Wait, so I can learn to become a BOSS Teacher too? Yes, if you resist the temptation of your “personal folder.”

  3. Directions for becoming a BOSS teacher – if you want to get it, you must teach it! 1. BOSS two-step; ignore/reinforce – 2. Point out what you want to get [i.e. desirable behaviors] via verbal feedback [reinforcers] 3. Punctuate [!!!] especially desirable behaviors and instances of compliance 4. The ratio of language must be at least 25% CM: 75% instruction 5. Incorporate action [versus passive participation] 6. Remember: paying attention to inappropriate behavior is REINFORCING that behavior! 7. Do not violate the “rule of f”

  4. BOSS Teacher StepsBehavioral opportunities for social skills • BOSS teachers provide frequent verbal reinforcement for target behaviors • BOSS teachers ask students to provide examples of their CPB behaviors • BOSS teachers ask students to tell how another student showed CPBs • BOSS teachers ask students to provide positive feedback to one another when a CPB occurs [teaching assertive ‘prosocial behavior’ • Use “autograph board” or some other visual feedback opportunity

  5. What does the BOSS teacher say? • “What are we working on?” • “I’m watching for CPBs” • “You are showing excellent CPBs by...” • “Who else can show me?” • “Everybody please stop what you’re doing. I want to you to see what just happened!!!” (punctuate)

  6. BOSS Research Results • BOSS increases instructional time because it is a proactive behavior management procedure [i.e. ongoing process] • BOSS increases positive social skills while dramatically decreasing conduct problems [including reducing bully behavior] • BOSS increases achievement • BOSS is far more easily implemented than using a cookbook of punishment-based or other ‘manual-bound’ strategies • BOSS dramatically increases student motivation and positive outlook on learning • BOSS improves teacher morale and reduces “burnout” • BOSS shows generalization effects to other settings [i.e. improvement in social skills and conduct seen in other settings] • BOSS involves virtually 100% of students • BOSS enhances language development by building BOSS –related self-talk
