5. Submit Implementation Portfolio

The BLaST TAC Team is using the resource of Mindfulness for Teachers to create an online learning opportunity.  The team is very familiar with SW PBIS and we created a Comparison table to indicate the characteristics of each including like and unlike characteristics and categories, and summarized the difference.  We also constructed am extension activity that determined to to incorporate mindfulness techniques into a school already implementing and familiar with SW PBIS.  A ppt was created and instruction was offered to detail the process.  The team felt this concept could be used in a variety of ways especially after the initial example of IEP and 504 comparison table was shared with the team.  This team is strong on instructional strategies but definitely found how the comparison table could be incorporated to detail concepts and make clear the similarities and differences.  

Group size: 2 adults, also in the process of becoming SIM-trained
Length: one session, about 30-35 minutes

My co-teacher and I taught this lesson with our 4th period class which consists of 22 students (16 boys, 6 girls).  Of these 22 students, 10 students have 504 Plans or IEPs.  This class is our 4th period, average inclusion English 7 class.  We were able to teach this lesson in one class period.  

My co-teacher and I taught this with our 4th period English 7 average inclusion class which consists of 22 total students. In this class, we have 16 boys and 6 girls. There are 10 total students with either an IEP or a 504 plan. We were able to teach this lesson in one class period. 

This class is composed of 17 boys and 10 girls.  There are 2 students with 504's and 15 with IEP's, 4 of which are ELL and 1 is a PBS student.  There are a lot of characters in here and testosterone runs high.  Two boys in particular try to set the tone with controversy and disruption daily.  Most were very well behaved only because of the video!  haha.  Maybe we need to record our classes more often.  We usually test with a class average of 55-60%.  There are some higher- level students but not enough to offset.  This is our first implementation for this concept though we have used the LINCing and Framing routine at least once per nine weeks.
