This presentation discusses the theory of motivation and how behavior can be shaped

1. CHAMPS:
PBIS in the
Classroom
Understand Motivation
& How to Shape
Behavior

2. Behavior Management Principles
Emphasis is placed on prevention of
problem behavior through:
 creating predictable environments
 teaching appropriate behavior
 acknowledging appropriate
behavior
Effective teachers spend more time
promoting responsible behavior than
responding to irresponsible behavior

3. Understand How to Shape
Behavior
Human behavior:
 Serves a purpose
(it is functional)
 Is predictable
 Is changeable

4.  Human behavior is learned and can also
be unlearned, or shaped into a more
desirable form.
 Behavior can be taught and changed.
 When students behave irresponsibly, it’s
likely that they have not experienced the
benefits of responsible behavior.

5. Basics of Motivation

6. Motivation
 If a person exhibits any behavior
repeatedly, he or she is motivated to
exhibit that behavior
 Motivation for any behavior is a
complex mix of intrinsic and extrinsic
factors
 Level of motivation is a function of both
the expectancy of success and the
value of the rewards for that success

7. Theory of Motivation
 Expectancy Rate 10 x Value
Rate 10 = 100% Motivation
 Expectancy Rate 10 x Value
Rate 0 = 0% Motivation
 Expectancy Rate 0 x Value Rate
10 = 0% Motivation
Expectancy rate: the degree to which an individual expects to be successful
Value rate: the degree to which an individual values the rewards that accompany
that success

8. Positive Behavioral Interventions
and Supports
 Emphasis is placed on prevention of
problem behavior through creating
predictable environments, teaching
appropriate behavior and
acknowledging appropriate behavior.
 Providing behavior interventions and
supports matched to student need-
more intense behavior problems require
more intensive supports
