  1. The Good Behaviour Game: A Classroom Behaviour Management Strategy Presented by Chrissie Spring Headteacher Oxfordshire Behaviour Support Service with Oxford Brookes University and Oxfordshire County Council

  2. Goals of the Good Behaviour Game • To socialise children into the role of being a pupil and to reduce disruptive and aggressive behaviours in the classroom “The Headteacher suspended me – School is the only place in the world where you can get time off for bad behaviour.” CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775

  3. The History of the GoodBehaviour Game CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775 • GBG was originally developed by Barrish, Saunders, & Wolfe at the University of Kansas with the first report in 1969 3

  4. Impact of Poorly Managed Classrooms CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775 On pupils: • Aggressive, disruptive behaviour as early as Year 2 is a major risk factor for academic failure, later school drop-out, delinquency, drug abuse, depression, and other problem outcomes. • Children with behaviour problems in poorly managed Year 2 classrooms were up to 20 times more likely to exhibit severe aggressive problems in late primary / early secondary years compared to similar children in well managed Year 2 classrooms. How does this impacts on teachers? • The number one reason for teacher burn-out is the inability to manage the classroom.

  5. LONG TERM BENEFITS OF THE GOOD BEHAVIOUR GAME Drug and Alcohol Dependence (2008), 95S, Kellam et al.; Poduska et al.; Petras at al.; Wilcox et al.; and Brown et al. CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775

  6. Additional Benefits of the GBG CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775 • Changes in teacher practices • Differentiation of tasks for pupils • Awareness of pupil needs and growth in terms of behaviour and learning

  7. Lessons Learned CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775 • Year 2 classrooms particularly important to later academic, mental, and behavioural health. • A relatively simple method of classroom behaviour management that can have a dramatic long-term impact if done with fidelity. • Without a system to mentor, model, and monitor teacher practices over time, GBG practices are not sustained. A good knowledge of pedagogical practice as well as how to teach behaviour for learning is essential without this, mentoring will not be as effective. 7

  8. GBG UK Project 2010-2012 • Pilot project Brookes University and Behaviour Support Service • 6 schools and 10 classes • 200+ pupils • 1 academic school year • 5 coaches • Preliminary findings very positive) • Several pilot schools bought in the following year.

  11. Voice Levels: Displayed on a poster and referred to by the teacher in and out of the Game CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775 0 - Voices Off 1 - WHISPER VOICE (Speak in a whisper voice to your neighbour) 2– INSIDE VOICE (Speak in a quiet voice to people who are close to you) 3 – OUTSIDE VOICE (A voice you would only use outside)

  13. Implementation Materials • Implementation Manual for Teachers • Class Rules Poster, Desk Copy of Class Rules • GBG Team Membership chart • If necessary, change team membership to ensure that they are balanced. 13 CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775

Record Keeping and the mysterious ‘PROBE’ • A probe is a way to see if your pupils’ behaviour has improved outside of the game • 2-3 times a week for 10-15 minutes • Children must be in their GBG teams BUT are not playing the game – the rules can still apply • It is a chance for teachers to see how and if behaviour has generalised – problem solve as needed CONTACT •Oxford Brookes University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Jack Straws Lane, Marston • Oxford OX3 0FL • Phone +44 (0)1865 482600 • Fax +44 (0) 01865 482775
