Tool 8.1 CARE Model

This tool has really helped me to organize my thoughts. I finally feel that I have some real direction in this project.

 

 

Identify Concerns that must change (look to the future)

(Assign points to concerns from 1 to 3 in the order of the most important issues to consider.)

1. The biggest concern is to reduce defiant and/or indifferent classroom behaviors of our student athletes.

2. The next area that must be addressed at our campus is the failure rates among student athletes in and out of season.

3. The last area of concern is to reduce discipline referrals and alternative placements among student athletes.

Identify Affirmations that must be sustained (look to the present)

(Assign points to affirmations from 1 to 3 in the order of the most important issues to consider.)

1. A positive aspect of our campus is teacher and administrator commitment to increase student achievement

2. We currently have a Campus Advisory Committee responsible for fielding concerns from teachers and helping to resolve non-academic issues. It is important that this communication continue.

3.  This district/campus is data driven. It is important to sustain this as we move forward and evaluate the effectiveness of the behavior program.

SMART Recommendations that must be implemented:

(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely)

(Assign points to recommendations from 1 to 3 in the order of the most important recommendations to implement.)

1. A daily behavior sheet implementation to decrease classroom behaviors that disrupt the learning environment or inhibit the learning process. (30% or better each grading period; this includes tardiness, sleeping in class, acting out etc.)

2. Student achievement will increase due to monitored behavior. (Passing rates will improve by 50% or better each grading period)

3. Discipline referrals and placements will decrease. (30% or better each grading period)

EVALUATE – Specifically and Often

(Identify the best ways to evaluate the implemented recommendations.)

1. Data review each grading period to assess the areas specifically targeted for improvement.

2. Collaborative meeting with coaches, teachers and administrators to discuss concerns and progress.

3. Teacher surveys/interviews – Surveys and interviews will determine if further intervention is needed and/or if the monitoring system need to be revised.

4. Group discussions with students about classroom behaviors
