The Importance of Action Criteria

1/14/2019

Action Criteria Charts (C-CHARTS)

Every day is a day of learning. We started the day off with some community building to get the students ready to learn. Students shared interesting things going on in their lives. It was a great opportunity for everyone to feel the temperature of the room to see how their peers were doing. We will be doing this on a more regular basis this term. Afterwards, students decided they could be self-regulated enough to walk down to the gym without explicitly reviewing the C-Chart for walking in the halls. It was a lesson for everyone that we should always review the action criteria for all tasks no matter how big or how small prior to completing them. We quickly returned to class and review the C-Chart and the difference in behaviour was like night and day! What did you learn from this experience students?

1.) MATH:

Complete Pg 104-105 # 1- 10 (Skip #7)
Mark pages at home and complete corrections.

2.) PAR ASSIGNMENTS:

Later this week, you will have an opportunity to show how you have learned and helped your peers learn on the daily PARS.
You will submit evidence of your learning on FreshGrade. (Activity to be posted tomorrow)
Take the next couple of days to go back to make sure you have at least 5 quality PARS.
This includes completing assignments according to success criteria, self-assessing, giving feedback to peers, responding to feedback, and editing and revising your work.
Use the next few days to go back and make sure you have given your best effort!

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

This morning, you all agreed that you would be able to walk to the gym in a self-regulated manner without explicitly reviewing the C-Chart for 'WALKING IN THE HALLS'.
However, as soon as we walked out, it was clear to everyone that this was almost impossible for some of our students.
The second time around, you were very mindful and self-regulated. Why do you think this was the case?
What did you learn from this experience?

SUCCESS CRITERIA:
1.) Paragraph format
2.) Includes a reason why we turned around and came back into the classroom the first time.
3.) Include a reason what helped everyone be more mindful and self-regulated the second time
around.
4.) Include what you think we should do for all tasks.
5.) Check your writing for the givens (spelling, grammar, capitals, punctuation, vocabulary, etc).
5.) Give one student feedback related to the above criteria.
6.) Edit/revise your work based on feedback or a self-assessment.

First Mr.Hong thought we can self-regulate in the hallways because he did not review the C-chart. But turns out we can't self-regulate because Mr.Hong called us back again and reviewed the C-chart. The second time was fine because he reviewed the C-chart. Since it's like this, I think for all tasks we should have a C-chart and must be reviewed until all the students can self-regulate.
But hopefully in the next few months we can all self-regulate and not have to review the C-chart.

Firs t sentence: I don't think Mr. Hong thought we could self regulate BECAUSE we didn't review the C-Chart.

Before we walked down to the gym, we didnt review the C-Chart because we insisted that we would be able to walk down the hallway However, some people didn't self regulate in the hallways and Mr. Hong had to call us back. This time, we DID review the C-Chart and everyone self regulated while walking in the hallway. This proves that the C-Chart is what helped students self regulate and should be reviewed for all other tasks.

in the morning before we have gym Mr.Hong thinks that we could self regulate went we are walking down the hallway to the gym, but we didn't do what he expected at all, so he got med and send us back.After we got send back to the class room because we are not self regulate well we are walking down the hallway, so he made us read the c-chart to let us get better at going down the hallway and then we did better! So that tell us to be better after reading and working on the c-chart we can be better at the thing's that we are not at. See if we can do better with out the c-schart next time.

When we were going to the gym for P.E, Mr Hong didn’t review the C-chart for walking the in the hallway. I thought it was ok because we were going to behave in the hallway. But I was wrong. Some students were not self regulate so Mr.Hong say “everyone inside the classroom” ( he didn’t say this exact words).Then he review the C-chart and we were mindful and self regulate the rest of way down to the gym.

Not again? Jeez-us-chrust! This makes my brain explodes. Please, we are Grade 7's why do we have to do something like kindergartens. I know, I know that it is our fault so I didn't blame anyone. I just want to say, " If someone can't self-regulate, please, don't go to school, don't make us feel bad. You are bad, but don't let others feel they are bad too!"

Now, I feel better now. I know, "some of us" didn't self-regulate, they just think about them and doesn't care about others. However, I know we have to take responsibility because we are in the class. After we came back to our class, "some of us" know that they should self-regulate. Finally, we did it. If we have to walk in the hall ways again, I think everyone should be more mindful and self-regulate. C-chart is for everyone, it will mind us to be more self-regulate, and be more mindful. We shouldn't review it every time, I think we should remember and memorize it, and no need or "force" Mr. Hong to tell us.

Your posts have always been so fun to read, and I can see how this shows who you are and the great kind of work you present. This was on topic and showed your opinion on the C-charts and different methods to help regulate.

I would say this is a perfect post but that doesn't exist so here is some feedback to help. General spelling and grammar mistakes can be noticed, such as "Explodes", and "Jeez-us-ChrUst", but it still was very easy to understand, and the ideas were not too convoluted and portrayed what you were wanting to say. Just making sure to look over that would really make your work better.

there are some points where I notice some unnecessary quotations, such as " just want to say, " If someone can't self-regulate, please, don't go to school, don't make us feel bad. You are bad, but don't let others feel they are bad too!". This is generally fine, but this can be rephrased without quotations which would help make this post sound like it's sending a message, than telling a story.

Simply looking over your work and making some reconsideration would make your work shine, and I'm excited to see your next post.

Why are you talking so much? Fine, now we have to go again, it is wasting us gym time!

This morning, when we walk down the gym two times because we weren't self-regulate, the reason why we have to go two times is we didn't review the C-Charts of walking in the hall,(the teacher believes that we can be self-regulate on the way down) so we talk too much and block the other side of the hall. We weren't self-regulate so Mr.Hong calls us back, and we walk down to the hall again.

The second time was totally different, everyone is been quiet and self-regulated because we learn a lesson from the first time. I learned something from this experience if we don't do something right at the first time, we will do it until we did it, so we better do it correctly the first time.

In conclusion, we have to be self-regulate all the time.

Getting the experience for being self-regulated can be a little tough for most of us because of lack of self-control and discipline to oneself.

First off, everyone were self-regulated in going to the gym but were not mindful and noisy once we got back to our class room. This has to be done again in which Mr. Hong has to remind us about the C-Chart for "Walking in the Halls". The reason for this was sometimes we forgot our responsibility to others and that we need somebody to tap our shoulder or to tell us to be self-regulated at all times and it was so evident that not all can do this. I have learned from the experience that in order for this to happen is that each one of us should not forget about the C-Chart and be responsible.

Therefore, it is everyone's responsibility to be self regulated at all time regardless of wherever you may be, if not then be mindful to others. Be an inspiration and not a distraction thru self-regulation. :)

The first time we headed to the gym we had to turn around and go back into the classroom.
We had to turn back because some of us weren’t being self-regulated and did things that Mr. Hong told us not to do.

The second time, something that helped everyone be more mindful and self-regulated was going over the c-charts for walking in the hallways and learning our lesson from the first time.

For all tasks in school and other places, we should always be self-regulated and mindful. (unless it’s different)

In conclusion, being self-regulated and mindful is something we need to be doing all the time.

The concept of using C-charts is indeed very likable, but it cannot be the solution to every behavioral mishap. Today when we had made an attempt to enter the gym while being regulated, many people had been causing issues forcing us to come back and "review the C-charts". After the entire class had arrived at the gym with no noticeable issue. Behavior is a habit in the mind, it shapes that person and how they might act in situations. Some people have good and disciplined behavior, and others might be more excited and be louder and more enthusiastic. These behaviors can be altered through discipline and impressions, and they take time to change. There were many reasons that we were forced to come back to the classroom, all which may be described. The quick alterations of behavior that were visible during that small mishap has a different reason to why it occurred. Applying these to our regular life is nearly impossible, and there are many reasons that support this.

When we were called back to the classroom, Mr. Hong had given us a small lecture as to why we had to come back, and why this is important. He had described that he viewed someone hopping multiple times. He had also said that the line was incomplete with rows of three and four. There were people talking with no regard for the other classes, and we were summoned back before we had reached the staircase. However, there is still a group of people that stay obedient and had followed the rules of regulation for the entire walk.

When someone quickly alters their behavior, it is only temporary. If one wants to permanently alter there mind and behavior, it will take months of discipline. When Mr. Hong had reviewed the C-chart, it had reminded people that they are being marked on their regulation, and they made sure to stay regulated. I do not wish to undermine the C-charts as they do help showing people how they can change. By showing someone their areas to improve, they can, and most likely will change. This is how I improved my academic ability. This is why I feel that C-charts are not suffice to assisting in improving behavior, but it is a good mark to show what one must do to improve.

As stated before, applying the uses of C-charts is remotely impossible. C-charts do not change behavior, they show what must be done to change. When reviewing the C-charts it does help, but the majority of the change is due to reminders and the will of the subjects. When reviewing a C-chart, there are no specific techniques that relate to it's use.

I personally approve of C-charts, and I agree that they are important to the learning experience. However, the C-charts are not a suffice method of permanent behavioral alterations, and they cannot be applied to any specific technique.

Since we all are students of the amazing and noble Mr. Hong, it should be no surprise to us when he admonishes us to self-regulate, or serious consequences will happen.

However, for some unknown reason, we were unable to regulate ourselves while walking to physical education class today. I hypothesize that a possible source of error was the notion that Mr. Hong forgot to review the Criteria-Chart for "Walking in the Hallway." Therefore, we were called back into the classroom.

The next time, after reviewing the Criteria-Chart for "Walking in the Hallway," we were able to learn from our mistake and correctly walk down a hallway as according to the expectations.

Being mindful of others and your surroundings is a skill we all need to have. To make sure that we don't accidentally forget to self-regulate, I vote that Mr. Hong reviews the C-Charts for every single activity. I also suggest that we make more C-Charts. They are really useful in our everyday school lives.

In summary, this morning we were unable to regulate due to the fact that Mr. Hong did not review the criteria for the specified activity (walking in the halls). After going over it, we did a lot better. This shows how important C-Charts are and we should incorporate them into our daily activities.

1/14/2019 06:59:53 pm

Teacher: Maybe if I try one day without showing the kids the criteria charts, then there might just be a chance they will self regulate.
Child 1: Hey Child 2, Fortnite is the best game ever! You know about the shooting and the building and the Battle Royale...?
Child 2: No , I think Pub G is better.

Today, when we went to gym, Mr. Hong thought that we could self regulate when we went down. But it ended uo as the whole class fooling around so we had to go back to the class. Back in class, we reviewed the CCharts, and we were better when we went down the second time. This was a use of CCharts. It changed our behaviors a lot. We should always be self regulated wherever you are, whenever it is.

@ Colin - Great job! I loved how you had a very unique and intriguing hook to your writing. There can be some improvements that can be made though. Consider adding a conclusion (even just a sentence would work) would improve your writing. Also, consider adding quotation marks for your hook when having dialogue. Other than that, I really enjoyed reading your writing!

@Harmon, make sure you capitalize the first letter of every sentence. Also, you might want to reread the criteria and write in PARAGRAPH FORMAT. Two sentences isn't really a paragraph..... But good explanation in few words!

It isn’t something fun to be called as not self-regulate. How would want that to happen?

But still, it happened this morning, when we’re heading down for the P.E class. We’re called to go back to the class before we’re ready to “self-regulate” walking in halls. A lot of people weren’t able to be self-regulate walking in halls. A huge possibility is because we forgot to review the C-Charts for walking in halls. Since then we’re more aware of self-regulation. I guess reviewing C-chart helps us to self-regulate better. It reminds us all the rules of walking in halls.

In conclusion, I think we should always be self-regulate, I think we could do it better as we’re getting more familiar to the C-Charts.

THWACK! As I walked down the hall, I heard a loud sound, but I don't know where it came from. A few seconds later, Mr.Hong was calling to us, saying we had to review the C-Charts...

After we reviewed the C-Charts (and Mr.Hong said "Last chance!"), everybody went down to the gym for the second time. Almost the whole way, we were quiet. From this experience, we know that the C-Charts remind us of what we need to remember to do and next time, we should still try to remind ourselves about the things on the criteria. For example, walk on the right side or don't disturb others. This should also be remembered for the other criteria charts like independent work time and story time. Self-regulating is a part of the criteria charts too. Without the self-regulating, there is no "I'm following the C-Charts!"

In conclusion, the thing that we should remember when walking in the hallways in the future (and other things) is to remind ourselves of the criteria!

Yay! We’re going over the c-chart again! A little refresher never hurts.

As everyone stepped out the door the noise level rises and everyone was bunched together. This was the opposite of self-regulated so we all turned back so we could learn from our mistakes. As Mr.hong went over the c-chart everyone was paying close attention and was very self-regulated. Everyone knew that if they wanted to get down to the gym they would have to learn from their first mistake, so we all took initiative and tried our best the second time. For all tasks, we should always go over the c-chart to remind ourselves of expected behaviour.

In conclusion, we were able to learn from our mistake from the first walk down to the gym. This shows how important it is to go over expectations.

C-Charts are very effective for self-regulating especially being used by Mr. Hong. As we all are students of Mr. Hong, we know that there will be consequences if we unable to self-regulate.

Nonetheless, we weren’t able to regulate ourselves when walking down the hall to receive Physical education. I theorize that it was because we didn’t review the C-Charts for "Walking in the Hallway.” Mr. Hong tested our abilities without the C-Charts to see if we needed more practice. Since my class and I couldn’t self-regulate, we were called back into the classroom to review the C-Chart.

While we walked down the hall the next time, we were perfectly silent because we reviewed the criteria. We were able to regulate ourselves because we were reminded of the expectations for walking in the hallway.

Being able to be mindful is a vital skill needed in all places. In order to ensure that we don’t forget to regulate, we should keep in mind the C-Chart’s content every time we prepare for an activity. I hope we can to make more C-Charts as it helped everyone self-regulate in school hours.

All in all, we weren’t able to self- regulate because we did not go over the C-Charts. After knowing the expectations, we were able to excel when walking in the halls. This shows significance of C-Charts in or daily lives.

A C-Chart is a list of explanations that describe the expectations of an activity. A C-Chart has two sections: the first section is for students while the second sector is for teachers. They are used in many situations such as when regulating a classroom. C-Charts are extremely effective for self-regulating, especially when it’s being used by Mr. Hong. As we all are students of Mr. Hong, we know that there may be consequences if we were not able to self-regulate.
Therefore, we weren’t able to regulate ourselves when walking down the hall to Physical Education.

Since my class and I couldn’t self-regulate, we were called back into the classroom to review the C-Chart.
This is an example of a consequence we met by not abiding by the C-Chart. We reviewed the C-Charts again. Some of the C-Chart expectations for walking in the hall include, “walk silently, do not jump, and be regulated.” Therefore, by knowing these expectations, we can walk in the hallways quietly. We were able to regulate ourselves because we were reminded of the expectations for walking in the hallway.
Being able to be mindful is a vital skill needed in all places. In order to ensure that we don’t forget to regulate, we should keep in mind the C-Chart’s content every time we prepare for activity. I hope we can to make more C-Charts as it helped everyone self-regulate in school hours.

Do you think self-regulation is important to learn? In my opinion, self-regulation can be just as important as learning the alphabet. In division 2, we use many different strategies to self-regulate ourselves. One of the biggest tools we use to self-regulate is our Action Criteria Charts.

Today, we were going down to the gym and were expected to know how to walk in the hall without any reminders. Instead of us respectfully walking, we were very disruptive, resulting in us going back to review C-Charts. This time, we learnt from our mistakes and quietly walked down the hall. I think that the people who were being disruptive learnt what they were doing wrong and that the others learnt what being disrespectful looks like.

In conclusion, this is why self-regulating is such an important skill to learn and how we learnt that today. I hope that we can continue to self-regulate like we did today and practice our self-regulation skills for the rest of the year.

*Mario jump sound effect* *Hand slams into doorframe* Come on, really dude?

We were sent to the gym by ourselves under one condition, we stayed self-regulated. Of course you know the outcome of this. We got it done! Just kidding, kids were clumping up with their friends and blocking the hallway, others jumping up to touch the doorframe, and so much more. You know the drill. So of course Mr. Hong was monitoring observing our commitment in the agreement and called us back.

Mr. Hong went over the criteria for walking in the hallway and sent us back down. This time he claimed that if we failed to follow the criteria than we would come back and work on our writing. Honestly I would’ve been okay with working on writing, because I REALLY don’t like basketball. Unfortunately, most of the people behaved the second time and Mr. Hong let it slip. Also we needed to keep up the reputation of “most well behaved hallway walkers”.

For every single task that might risk us lose focus, I would suggest that you make it into a competition. Everyone loves a good competition don’t they? I mean, of course there needs to be a prize. It could be an invisible one too! One people hear prize their hooked.

Mr. Hong went over the criteria for walking in the hallway and sent us back down. This time he claimed that if we failed to follow the criteria than we would come back and work on our writing. Honestly I would’ve been okay with working on writing, because I REALLY don’t like basketball. Unfortunately, most of the people behaved the second time and Mr. Hong let it slip. Also we needed to keep maintain our reputation as “most well behaved hallway walkers”.

For every single task that might risk us lose focus, I would suggest that you make it into a competition. Everyone loves a good competition don’t they? I mean, of course there needs to be a prize. It could be an invisible one if you really wanted. Once people hear the word "competition" and "prize" they're instantly hooked.

Looks like we're back onto this topic again.

When we first left the classroom for P.E. today, Mr. Hong didn't review the c-chart with us because he trusted us and he thought that we would be able to self-regulate. Sadly, that didn't happen though because we had to go back into the classroom since some of us couldn't self-regulate. Reviewing the c-chart once with Mr. Hong after that, helped us and we did much better the second time. We walked down to the gym a lot more quietly and set a better example for the younger students. Maybe we should always review c-charts before we do any activity. They really do help a lot ti those who have trouble remembering the expectations.

Overall, I hope we can overcome these self-regulation issues as a class and have a successful, productive and fun year.

Self regulation! A great skill to have, as Mr. Hong always says.

When we first left the classroom for P.E. today, Mr. Hong didn't review the c-chart with us because he trusted us and he thought that we would be able to self-regulate while walking down to the gym. I think that he should definitely be able to trust us with things like this and not have to repeat himself overtime we do something. Sadly though, that didn't happen because we had to go back into the classroom since some of us couldn't self-regulate. Reviewing the c-chart once with Mr. Hong after that, really helped us a lot and we did much better the second time. We walked down to the gym a lot more quietly and set a better example for the younger students. Maybe we should always review c-charts before we do any activity until Mr. Hong is 100% sure that he could trust us with everything. He should be able to and we should be able to prove to him that we could too. They really do help a lot to those who have trouble remembering the expectations in the classroom and outside of it.

Overall, I hope we can overcome these self-regulation issues as a class and have a successful, productive and fun year.

First of all in the morning almost everyone in the class were quite self regulated. So mr.Hong trusted us to walk through the halls for about 20 second and be mindful of our surroundings, self regulate overall such as staying in single or double file, moving when you can't focus, not jump and lastly be quite.

But in the first 5 seconds we were much worse at walking in the compared to the kindergarten. So mr.Hongs had to turn us around back to class so we could try again.

A few reasons why I think that we had go try again was because we were not calm, we started talking loudly even before we had left the class and a few student had started to jump and tryed to reach the top of the door.

I dont know what exactly happened because I was I the cloak room getting my gym strip but right after I took a step out side I had to come back in.

Walking down a hallway while self-regulating that was what we always are told to do whenever we leave the classroom for something. But this time Mr.Hong wanted to see if our class can or can not self-regulate without reviewing the C-Chart for walking in the hall, and well you would think we were very loud and blocking the hall, well actually we did exactly we were very loud and disturbing other classes and
blocking the hallway and jumping to hit the doorway.

1 minute later,
Mr.Hong calls us back to review the CQC hart to see if there is a difference this time and there was we walked slowly in a single file line and waited at the gym doors. And I really think we should just review the CQC hart a little more often.

Today when we were going to gym we weren’t really self-regulated because some people were making more than one line and some were loud and taking which also some people were jumping up to touch the exit sign. Reason why self-regulating is important when you’re in the hallways because some classrooms might be doing a test and can’t not focus because some people are loud. The reason why we make criteria sheets are for us to be reminded for us to be quite, make only one line when going somewhere in the school and there are also some other criteria sheets we made for other times in the school such as independent time, in lessons, etc. I hope in the next gym period we do better and not do the opposite things the criteria sheets are telling us to do. It takes practice because everyone is not perfect and it’s also not just about the practice it’s about doing the practice right and self-regulating

C-Charts are so exciting!

The reason we turned back the first time is because we were not self-regulated enough. Not a lot of people were following the C-Chart.

After coming back and reviewing it, we did a better time following the C-Chart. I think our class just needs some more practice on self-regulating I need the hallway.
