MADISON’S MANAGEMENT TOOLS

Our goal at Madison is simple. As a team, we want to create a safe,
productive, and successful learning environment for every student. We will strive to see that all Madison
students meet the following goals by the time they leave our school setting.

Goals For My Life

I can be safe and productive even though I may be overwhelmed by feelings.
I can be okay even though others are not okay.
I can be productive and follow directions even though I may find that hard.
I can be where the adult has instructed me to be.
The purpose of the BIST Model is to partner with students when they are struggling and help them be accountable for their actions. BIST is designed to teach and protect students, via GRACE and ACCOUNTABILITY so that students can demonstrate the Goals For Life and stay out of trouble.

The Steps to BIST
When a student is being disruptive:
They are given a redirect or rethink to stop the behavior.
If behavior continues, they will be asked to move to the safe seat.
Once in the safe seat, they will fill out a think sheet and “process” or discuss with the teacher their problem and talk through a plan to do in the future so they can be successful.
If a student is not okay in the safe seat, they will go to the buddy room.
In the buddy room, they will fill out a think sheet and process with the teacher when they and the teacher is ready. If the student successfully processes with the teacher they go to the safe seat in their class until they are successful there. Once that occurs, they will return to their seat.
If the student is not okay in the buddy room, they are sent to the Recovery Room or Office.
BIST Concepts
Safe seat - a seat in the classroom away from other students.
Buddy room – a seat in another teacher’s classroom to help a student regroup so they may return to the safe seat.
Recovery/Focus room - a place where students can go to stop acting out, calm down, prepare an apology and/or stay out of trouble.
Think sheet - a tool that the student completes to help him/her take ownership of the problem.
Processing - questions that the adult asks the student so he/she may take ownership, practice skills and make a plan to stay out of trouble.
Target Behavior Sheet - daily visual of goals the student is working on.
Triage - Daily “check in” with an adult to assess emotions, establish focus about what it means to have a good day and formulate solutions if problems occur.
Class meeting - weekly meetings facilitated by the adult to help students solve problems, plan events and maintain a positive classroom community.
