Mindset Over Matter: One School's Effort to Overhaul How We Think About Behavior Management
Riley Elementary in the Salt Lake City School District, in partnership with the University of Utah's Education Policy Center, have developed a unique approach to their behavior support system that is having a transformative, sustainable impact. The focus has been understanding behavior through a child development lens and then equipping all faculty and staff with the tools to modify their own mindsets about behavior to positively influence behavior outcomes schoolwide. These six mindsets come from research and include: building positive relationships, seeking first to understand, avoiding power struggles, positive presuppositions, starting every day/hour new, and avoiding public shaming. These mindsets translate to everyday, tangible strategies that can be used to improve school culture and to organically influence student behavior for the better.
- Participants will be able to associate behavior with research about child development and how our expectations about behavior ought to be aligned to support the developmental needs of students.
- Participants will be able to hear about all six of the mindsets used to inform behavior at Riley Elementary and the ways these mindsets are influenced by research from the field.
- Participants will be able to see and hear examples of how the mindsets translate to daily practice and interactions with young people.
