There is no one
magic wand for changing behavior. I'm writing a new book entitled
"Crime and Punishment in America's Schools: If the threat of
death penalty does not stop people from murdering; why do teachers
think threatening to take away recess will stop target behaviors?"
We need more tools for our toolbelt in working with children and
challenging behaviors. Here is one more tool.
NEW-
(this is still a work in progress) I promised
to get it posted and build from there)
How to CARE
for the students in your classroom.
Conduct-
(What behavior can you expect?)
Aquire-(How
do they learn?)
Regulate-
(How should you discipline?)
Encouragement-
(What excites them?)
Step One: Look at Payton's completed
Student Survey Forms Below and follow along as we decipher Payton's
learning and behavior styles:
Using a revised personality scale, you will determine
the answers to the above questions. Practice below:

Next, have your students fill out the Student
Style Survey. Younger students may have to use a buddy or adult
to help them fill out the answers.
Blank Student
Style Survey (This is a new version. If you need the old version
please email Dr. Riffel)
Scoring guide is included with each survey
above, so you understand how this is scored.
(note differences for males and females)
Use the easy scoring guide to calculate each
students' scores on the Student Style Survey.
Determine where your students rank in the
Porpoise, Eagle, and Rabbit and then determine their color reference.
This will help you CARE for them as you learn their behavioral styles,
arousal levels, learning styles, and how best to discipline them.

and Rabbit tendencies.

Once you determine what color your students'
learning styles are you can click on the links below to see teaching
techniques with research base behind each characteristic. (This
is a work in progress- as stated earlier I promised to get this
up and running. I am in the process of researching empirical interventions
to share, based on how they would work with each learning style.)
Interventions Based on Student Style Survey
Outcomes. These are PowerPoints and they are very large. It would
be best if you clicked "save as" and saved them to your
desktop before you open them. Otherwise, be prepared to wait as
much as 10 minutes for the download.
UPDATED March 23, 2010
Make these lanyard cards as a quick overview
of teaching styles to use with each color characteristic. These
print up approximately the same size as most school badges. They
can be worn around the neck on your lanyard. (I will take a picture
of mine and post in the next few weeks.)
Educator
Lanyard Cards (Print these off and laminate
the two sides together, creating twelve cards for easy reference)
Use this sheet as a quick reference. When
little Payton starts bubbling up with some behaviors you would like
to target for change, you can quickly reference the sheet and determine
the best approach.
Teacher
Planning Sheet for easy viewing of student style survey results
(Can be shared with substitutes, specials, and student teachers.)
Name
tags (one note of caution: If you are worried that others will
determine what the colors stand for then it would not be wise to
put colors on name tags.)
