If all agree to try the program, each one signs a contract. An important part of the pro gram is that everyone, including the child, agrees to participate, sail) Bruce Stiller, the program's behavioral consultant The CLASS i omponent works on a point and reward basis that involves the entire ( lass even though only one or two students an* involved in ihe actual pro gram for ihe first six days, the con sultant works closely with the child, displaying cards for good and not-so good behavior. When the child is shown a green (,a»i, he or she is praised for good behavior ana earns points If the child is acting out or not staying on task, he or she is given a red card and points are deducted. A i ertain number of points are needed to earn rewards, sonic of which include extra play time and games However, if the child doesn't earn enough points, it's announced to the class that he or she i an try again the next week Kyan's classmates enjoy the rewards. Craven said, and they also help him and remind him to act appropriately. The CLASS component lasts six weeks with the teacher taking the consul tant's place after the first week. Ryan sun •►ssfully finished the CLASS component Wednesday, earning enough total points to get not one. but two rewards The first was a Lego "Aqua-Shark” from his proud parents. The second reward Ryan had been planning for weeks An avid space-fan. he had the class build space stations and ro< kets Thurs day He was quick to point out his favorite planet is Saturn, and one might be surprised to find how know ledgeable this kinder gartner is. Craven said she appreciates the program and would use it next year if she has the opportunity. 'Most students who art* acting out only gut negative attention, and this also draws attention away from the other students," Craven said. "This program allows me to give Ryan positive attention, which is very effec tive." Home Hase, the other coinpo nent, works with parents of at risk kindergartners to teach their children behavioral and social skills in order to get a good start in school. The consultant meets in the child's home once a week for six. weeks, and the parents and child art; expected to practice the skills at home. Ryan's parents. Meredith Keene Wilson and Dennis Wil son, said they have learned numerous skills in promoting not only good behavior, hut also calming Ryan down when he gets hursts of "explosive energy." "The program has reinforced old skills that we just got lazv with." Keene-WiIson said. "It made us focus on our follow through.” She added that Ryan is much more cooperative at home now and realizes it's easier to just do his tasks rather than complain about them First Stops is currently in its second year of the research phase whore it is being offered in tin* 4| School Distrit ! Next year, the program will be rewritten to make it more user-friendly. Stiller said. I'hen it will la* published and "packaged" for other schools to adopt in Oregon school dis tricts as well as across the nation The program has already received enormous support, founder Walker said The head of the Kentucky school system was so impressed by the program — even in its research stage — that he had some project coordinators travel there to train teachers to start the program. Results from last year’s study of 2A children, parents and teach ers have been very positive, Walker said. "I’ve never seen cross-year maintenance effects as positive and as high as these* in my entire* career.' Walker said.
