Spot Sitters Sequence

An 8-session intensive behavioral intervention sequence designed for K-2 students struggling with out-of-seat and off-mat behaviors. This sequence guides students from basic boundary awareness to self-monitoring, using highly visual elements, movement-based games, and clear replacement behaviors.

Spot Power

Introduces students to their designated "Spot" using physical visual boundaries (tape, carpet square) and teaches the core concept of personal boundaries.

Sticky Feet

Focuses on "Glue to the Spot" physical control, helping students build the core physical stamina and muscle memory to stay in their spot.

Wiggle Zone

Introduces flexible movement alternatives, including "Wiggle Seats", seat bands, or designated pacing lanes in the back of the classroom for sensory regulation.

Boundary Games

Practices boundary containment through active, movement-based games (like Spot-Sitter Red Light, Green Light) to build fun and positive associations with staying on-task.

Distraction Dodge

Practices staying in the spot amidst heavy class distractions (toys, drops, exciting sounds) using modeling, roleplay cards, and immediate positive feedback.

Schoolwide Spots

Generalizes spot containment and replacement behaviors to schoolwide settings, including the cafeteria, assembly, and library.

Hero Tracker

Empowers students with self-monitoring behavior trackers, teaches them how to self-assess and award stickers for maintaining spot integrity.

✓ Success Criteria:

Student selects either a Wiggle Seat, Bounce Band, or Pacing Lane and uses it appropriately without class disruption.

1. Explicit Modeling

"When my hips need a move, I sit on my Wiggle Seat. Watch me wiggle gently—my head sits tall, my hands work, and I don't need to walk!"

2. Roleplay Action

Have students trial the Pacing Lane back of room: "Walk quietly up and down 3 times, then return to base."

3. Workbook & Schoolwide

Complete Wiggle Zone Guide. Ensure the physical tools modeled (bands, cushions) are installed on their seats.

💡 Generalization: Review appropriate pacing lane rules: Silent lips, hands on pocket sides, back-of-room strictly.

Session 4: Boundary Games Fun Practice

🎯 Learning Target:

I can freeze immediately on my spot when I hear the 'Red Light' command.

✓ Success Criteria:

Student freezes instantly within their designated space bounds during active gameplay.

1. Explicit Modeling

"I am jumping in my spot... RED LIGHT! Look at me. I'm frozen solid. No toes crossing, totally still."

2. Roleplay Action

Play the Red Light Green Light game. Praise students who control sudden impulses to wander.

3. Workbook & Schoolwide

Use Boundary Games Guide scorecards to track frozen rounds and stars.

💡 Anchor Chart Tip: Keep game scorecards posted in room to prompt fun boundary-keeping.

Session 5: Distraction Dodge Distractions

🎯 Learning Target:

I can stay glued to my spot even when loud or funny things happen around me.

✓ Success Criteria:

Student maintains spatial containment when teacher purposely models realistic classroom distractions.

1. Explicit Modeling

"Oops! I dropped my markers on the floor! They are rolling everywhere. Instead of jumping out of my seat to pick them up, I will keep my feet glued and let my teacher handle it."

2. Roleplay Action

Use Distraction Dodge Cards. Introduce a distraction scenario (whispers, dropped pencils) and praise students who "dodge" the impulse to wander.

3. Workbook & Schoolwide

Students color scenario checks and reflect on their drawing board page.

💡 Teacher Cue: Create high excitement followed by a "Dodge Shield!" command to signal focus.

Session 6: Schoolwide Spots Generalize

🎯 Learning Target:

I can use my spot powers in the Cafeteria, Library, and Gym assemblies.

✓ Success Criteria:

Student earns at least 2 passport travel stamps from non-classroom staff for spot compliance.

1. Explicit Modeling

"When I go to lunch, my 'Spot' is my space at the table. My bottom stays on the bench, and I do not wander around visiting other tables."

2. Roleplay Action

Coordinate brief visits to the library or lunchroom to physical-drill where correct foot positions lie.

3. Workbook & Schoolwide

Print and clip the Schoolwide Spots Passport. Have cafeteria supervisors or librarians sign off directly.

💡 Staff Liaison: Notify lunch supervisors of the passport target so they can provide heavy verbal praise.

Self-Regulation Principle: Graduation ensures a soft exit from the heavy tier-3 intervention into a self-monitoring system to support long-term behavioral maintenance.

Session 7: Hero Tracker Self-Monitor

🎯 Learning Target:

I can honest-track my own spot powers twice a day and celebrate my focus!

✓ Success Criteria:

Student completes their desk chart AM and PM independently, showing 90%+ honesty agreement with the teacher.

1. Explicit Modeling

"It is lunch time! Let me look at my feet. Yes, they were glued during math! I am going to draw a big happy star on Tuesday AM because I did it!"

2. Roleplay Action

Prompt a weekly review: "Check your desk stars. Did you meet your reward target? Tell me what you chose!"

3. Workbook & Schoolwide

Tape the Hero Tracker Chart directly to their desk. Run check-ins before lunch and at dismissal.

💡 Honesty Incentive: Award an extra bonus star when student rating matches teacher ratings!

Session 8: Graduation Celebration

🎯 Learning Target:

I can celebrate my Spot Powers and promise to keep practicing forever.

✓ Success Criteria:

Student signs their graduation certificate and shares their top spot skill during graduation.

1. Explicit Modeling

"I started as a Spot Sitter, but now I am an official Spot Champion! My feet stay safe, my bubble is strong, and I am ready to succeed in the classroom!"

2. Roleplay Action

Conduct a structured "Graduation Ceremony" where classmates clap, and student stands proud in their spot.

3. Workbook & Schoolwide

Present the beautiful printed Spot Graduation Certificate. Send a copy home to parents.

💡 Maintenance: Keep the desk visual tape for 2-3 more weeks. Fade slowly by shortening boundary lines.
