Title of Course: The Positive Behavior GameDate/Time: Tuesday, July 16, 10:15-11:45 and 3:00-4:30
Presenter(s): Sherry Rogowski, GCS Psychologist
Description: The Positive Behavior Game (TPBG) is an evidence-based prevention intervention that is founded on over 40 years of scientific research. TPBG has been shown to decrease discipline problems, increase student learning, and reduce the likelihood of drug/alcohol use, aggression, and other problem behaviors over time. TPBG has been implemented by teachers in typical classrooms, by specialists in the library and physical education settings, and by behavior support personnel in classes for students with disabilities. The game has been well-received by teachers and students alike and is considered relatively easy to implement within an instructional routine. It is important to remember that TPBG is not a curriculum, but a daily application implemented during regular instruction. The purpose of TPBG is to increase student social and academic success without costing additional instructional time. It is likely that by implementing TPBG and focusing on preventing problem behaviors and encouraging appropriate social behaviors you will find yourself with more time to teach while your students have more fun learning. The idea is that students exhibit behaviors to which we pay attention, and TPBG helps you to encourage behaviors you want to see by paying attention to them (and ignoring minor behaviors that you don’t want to see). In addition, TPBG will be directly linked to the school-wide behavioral expectations, which may help both you and your students experience increased success. Participants of this session will learn how to play the game and when is the best time to employ the game as a classroom management support.

Title of Course: The Positive Behavior GameDate/Time: Thursday, July 18, 10:15-11:45
Presenter(s): Sherry Rogowski, GCS Psychologist
Description: The Positive Behavior Game (TPBG) is an evidence-based prevention intervention that is founded on
over 40 years of scientific research. TPBG has been shown to decrease discipline problems, increase student learning, and reduce the likelihood of drug/alcohol use, aggression, and other problem behaviors over time. TPBG has been implemented by teachers in typical classrooms, by specialists in the library and physical education settings, and by behavior support personnel in classes for students with disabilities. The game has been well-received by teachers and students alike and is considered relatively easy to implement within an instructional routine. It is important to remember that TPBG is not a curriculum, but a daily application implemented during regular instruction. The purpose of TPBG is to increase student social and academic success without costing additional instructional time. It is likely that by implementing TPBG and focusing on preventing problem behaviors and encouraging appropriate social behaviors you will find yourself with more time to teach while your students have more fun learning. The idea is that students exhibit behaviors to which we pay attention, and TPBG helps you to encourage behaviors you want to see by paying attention to them (and ignoring minor behaviors that you don’t want to see). In addition, TPBG will be directly linked to the school-wide behavioral expectations, which may help both you and your students experience increased success. Participants of this session will learn how to play the game and when is the best time to employ the game as a classroom management support.
