Title of Proposed Intervention: Cafeteria Disruption/Disrespect
Brief Description of Proposed Intervention and Attach “3-circles planning” Sheet:
Our cafeteria is the third most common location for students to receive incident slips or major
referrals. 62% of those incident slips/referrals are written due to disrespect and/or disruptions
by the students, and are received by yellow zone students.
Our plan is to record various PBIS and school-wide activities throughout the school year using
both video and photographs. We plan to interview students and staff on camera about those
various activities as well. Once the recordings have been made we will use the print shop
program to create a slide show and set it to music, it will then be broadcast in the cafeteria on
a jumbo screen for the students to watch during lunch.
Our hope is that by having this play during lunch it will reduce the disruptions that are
occurring, and therefore reduce the disrespect shown toward the staff when those disruptions
are addressed. This will benefit all students within Salem Avenue Elementary, but will target
the yellow zone students, as those are the students receiving the bulk of the incident
slips/referrals. The classes in each grade level with the fewest behavior issues, over a 1
month period, will receive an ice cream incentive.
Budget request (not to exceed $800) should include estimated amounts for any of the
following that is critical for implementation of the proposed yellow-zone intervention: teacher
additional pay, workshop pay, substitute pay, materials, and incentives. Monies must be
spent by June 30, 2010.

Targeted Problem: Cafeteria Disruption/Disrespect
Step 4: What will we do to support staff?
Staff will be trained in the use of the
video system so that they are able to
utilize the program. Also, administration
will be present to monitor and
demonstrate appropriate behaviors within
the cafeteria.
SYSTEMS –

Behavior
Step 3: What will we do to support student
behavior?
We will broadcast videos and photographs of
student activities school-wide on a large screen
during lunch hours in the cafeteria. The
photographs will be set to music in order to
capture the attention of the students and reduce
their disruptive behaviors.
Step 1: What does the data say?
The cafeteria is the third most
common location for incident slips
and referrals throughout the school.
62% of the incident slips/referrals in
the cafeteria are for disruption and
disrespect.

Step 2: What is the goal?
The goal is to reduce the average
monthly incident slips/referrals in
the cafeteria by 50%. The
average right now is
approximately 12 per month, the
goal is to reduce this number to 6
per month.
