How The Self & Match System Is Used In Schools

The Self & Match System helps educators create and implement clear behavioral expectations in the classroom and provides a roadmap for teaching students these expectations and holding them accountable for their actions. The Self & Match System incorporates teacher input and considers current classroom management strategies. The system is data driven, making monitoring progress a straightforward process and setting the foundation for data-based decisions. The Self & Match System is user-friendly and easy-to-implement. The Self & Match System Manual provides step-by-step instructions and a Considerations Guide that is a roadmap for constructing individualized forms for each student.

Tiers of Self & Match

The Self & Match System can be implemented at the preschool through high school (and beyond) level and can be used at three different levels within a school system. At the broadest level, the system can be implemented school-wide in both Special Education and General Education schools. This universal implementation of the Self & Match System helps establish a foundation of regular, proactive behavioral support and expectations. At the next level, the Self & Match System can be implemented on a class-wide basis in both Special Education and General Education classrooms for all students with special accommodations made for at-risk students. Finally, the Self & Match System can be used to provide intensive implementaton at the individual student Level for students with and without IEP.

What Educators Are Saying

I have been using Self and Match as a Special Education teacher and Behavior Analyst for 3 years. It is easy to implement for the user, provides meaningful opportunities for adults to give feedback, and most of all works to address target behaviors in many environments! It's my go-to recommendation for the school setting.

Administrators, you NEED this resource! The Self and Match System has been a highly valued resource for our Tier 2/3 students with behavior goals. Realistic growth is the focus as students first recognize how they have done and then begin to make gains toward their goals. This resource is worth every penny and the authors are incredibly accessible for support and training.

I am a K-5 school psychologist and use Self & Match with so many students in special education, as well as general education!! I really love how the charts can be adapted and modified to fit individual student needs and it can be written in language/pictures that they can easily understand! I also like how it takes the pressure of the teacher when a student is not being honest and when the student is honest, despite engaging in an unexpected behavior, the student still gets credit for that honesty! I've used so many different behavior charts that I've created but none have been as effective as Self & Match system!!!
