Innovating
I adapt behaviors and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations.
A teacher uses various strategies to acknowledge when students are behaving appropriately. One of his students, however, is not responding as well to the strategies as others and continues to misbehave. In response, the teacher modifies his implementation of the token economy to provide extra support to this student.

Applying
I acknowledge adherence to rules and procedures consistently and fairly, and I monitor the extent to which my actions affect students’ behavior.
A teacher regularly acknowledges and rewards students for following the rules, using a variety of strategies. She also makes sure the strategies are having their desired effect by taking note of instances of misbehavior and looking for patterns. She is able to see that misbehavior has decreased in her classroom as she has become more skilled with this element.

Developing
I acknowledge adherence to rules and procedures consistently and fairly, but I do not monitor the effect on students.
A teacher acknowledges his class’s good behavior with strategies such as verbal praise and certificates for individual students. His efforts are deliberate, but he does not spend time trying to determine if the strategies are having a measurable impact.

Beginning
I use the strategies and behaviors associated with this element incorrectly or with parts missing.
A teacher occasionally thanks her students for being courteous or working quietly, but she often forgets to do so and does not use any tangible rewards or other forms of recognition.
