Within the IMPACT approach, there are six broad
variables to implement and manipulate to prevent inappropriate behavior and
promote positive, proactive behavior:
Interact positively with students
Monitor behavior
Prepare effective instruction
Arrange the environment
Correct effectively
Teach expectations (like a great coach!)
P Prepare and Deliver Effective Instruction
Instruction begins with
organized and focused lessons, established learning goals, review (pre-skills
& knowledge), introducing new knowledge, practicing, developing strategies
for monitoring progress and, application.
Effective Instruction is engaging
·
I do it, we do
it, you do it
·
Connect with
students during instruction
·
Provide ample
opportunities to respond (OTR’s) throughout lessons (e.g., orally, written (response
cards/slates) and/or through action (touch, act out, gestures, facial
expressions, hand signals)
·
Choral, partner
and individual responses
·
Teach and
instruct among students as much as possible
·
Maximize student
engagement (e.g., avoid down time, routinely start and end on time)
·
Gain collective attention
of students at beginning and end of class
·
Teach with a “Perky
Pace” (e.g., teach with enthusiasm and passion)
·
Monitor through
walk around, look around and talk around
·
Feedback is
immediate, specific and informative, focused on correct vs. incorrect,
delivered with appropriate tone and ended with student giving correct response
·

teach = how well they learn -Anita
