What’s it Called???• PBS – Positive Behavioral Support• PBIS – Positive Behavior Interventions &

Supports• SW-PBS – School-wide Positive Behavioral

Support• EBIS – Effective Behavioral & Instruction

Supports (Everyone Behaves in School)• PBSIS – Positive Behavior Supports in

Schools

What is PBS?

• A program to teach all students desired behavior in the school setting

• A prevention program to reduce undesirable behavior

• A framework that each school individualizes to meet their specific student and staff populations, problems, and celebrate successes

• Schools use office discipline referral (ODR) data and surveys to identify problems, to plan, implement, and evaluate solutions

What to Expect:

• For the commitment & implementation of PBS:- A decrease of 40-60% in ODRs in the next 3-5 years- Improved relationships with parents and community partners- A cohesive staff with a vision for improvement in student academic achievement

- An environment where teachers can teach and students can learn

Designing School-Wide Systems for Student Success

Using Positive Behavior Supports to…

Develop a Continuum of Interventions for Behavior and Discipline.

Why A Continuum to AddressDiscipline & Behavior?

• Over-reliance on the “local expert”• Build a knowledge base of interventions

that interfaces with the Student Code of Conduct

• Create school based behavioral team competence, Ex. Grade level teams

• Early intervention – move away from the Wait to Fail model

environments• Procedures for teaching expectations• Continuum of procedures to encourage expected

behaviors & discourage inappropriate behaviors• On-going monitoring of the plans effectiveness

Common & Consistent Approach

• Discipline procedures are implemented consistently by staff and administration

• Practices move away from the over reliance on punishers

Set of Expected Positive Behaviors Across Environments

• Expectations for student behavior are defined by a building based team with input from all staff

• Staff incorporate expectations into culture of the school

Appropriate student behavior is taught

• Procedures for teaching expectations

• Behavioral support strategies are designed to meet the needs of ALL students

Continuum of procedures to encourage expected behaviors &

discourage inappropriate behaviors

• Positive behaviors are publicly acknowledged

• Problem behaviors have clear consequences

On-going monitoring of the plans effectiveness

• Student behavior is monitored and staff receive regular feedback

• Leadership teams meet regularly/school & district events

Take Home Message

• A variety of resources must be tapped to develop a responsive pyramid for behavior

• Early intervention is the key

• Effective and efficient resolution for problems is critical

• Empower staff to seek assistance

Take Home Message

• Communication is Critical!

• Find out what staff think and feed that information back to them – powerful!

• Model PBIS behavior – it is contagious.

• Instill the school’s expectations as part of all verbal interactions with everyone

School-wide Behavioral Expectations

• The Basics– 3-5

– Few words

– Verbs (action words)

– Positively stated

– Name them, ex. The 4 B’s

What does a SW-PBS School Look Like?

• 3-5 Behavioral Expectations are clearly defined in observable terms.

• Within five minutes of entering the building anyone should know what the 3-5 expectations are.

The 3 B’s

•Be Responsible

•Be Respectful

•Be Prepared

• As a group complete matrix,

– Write the 3-5 rules down left side

– Write the non-classroom environments across the top

• In positive terms, state what the behavioral expectation is to look like for that non-classroom environment

– At least 3 examples per box

– Ok to have few “repeat” examples

• Using the “stickies”, provide feedback to each group

• Team discussion of feedback

Teaching Behavioral Expectations: Lesson Plans

Telling is not teaching...

...and being told is not the same as being

taught.

Lesson Plan Components• Teach

*Provide Rationales*Examples and Non-Examples

• Model*Practice & identify when to display school-wide expectations w/feedback and pre-correction

• Reinforce* Tweak & Celebrate

• Evaluate* What’s working – not working? Data, data, data.

Lesson Plan Components

• Teach– Select your

rule– Provide a

rationale– Examples/non-

examples

• Respect Others

• “If you want others to show respect to you, you must be respectful of others” or “You’ve got to give it to get it”

Let’s Talk About Rationales

• Even way back in 1974, Eitzen found after a survey of adolescents and found that did not not understand that their behavior determines what happens to them.

• These students fell they are “victims of fate” or blame others for the problem.

Specialized Classroom Management/Boys Town

Three Rationale Categories• Benefit to the student

• Negative outcomes

• Concern or effect on others

Rats that focus on benefits of concern are most meaningful to students, so they shold be used more frequently.

Types of Rationales

1. Benefit to the Student: “What’s in it for me?” or “How can it help me?”When you ask for help by following the rules, you will likely get help faster. OR When you don’t tease others they will probably want to include you.

Benefit does not include the possibility of earning a tangible reward.If you do what I say then you can earn a Maverick Buck.

Types of Rationales

2. Negative outcomes state the potential associated with the behavior “How can I be hurt?” or “what price might I have to pay?”When you don’t in in homework, you get further behind and your grades drop. When you argue when corrected you may not get the help you need and may repeat the same mistake.

Negative consequences seem the most logical to use, but may be interpreted as verbal warnings or threats. This tpe of rat should be used selectively.

Types of Rationales

3. Concern for others states the effect a student’s behavior could have on others and incorporates the notion of consideration for the rights and property of others. If you call out for assistance, you could disturb others that are working. When you tease others they could take you seriously and their feelings could be hurt.

Many students, at first, are unable to consider the rights, feelings, or needs of others. For students making behavioral progress, this could be an effective approach.

Rat Summary

• Keep rationales brief, personal and developmentally appropriate will enhance effectiveness.

• Rats must be incorporated into teaching expectations and with consequences/recognition for greatest impact.

• Who are the best people in the school setting to ask for examples of rats?

Lesson Plan Components

• Model– Activities– Role plays– Feedback

• Respect Others• Students act out

examples• Teacher acts out non-

examples• “Chalk and talk”

where students come up with own examples/non-examples

• Teacher provides precorrection and error correction

Lesson Plan Components

• Reinforce– Verbal

– Tangibles

• Respect Others

• Students given verbal praise or earn a “GOTCHA” for displaying respect for others

Lesson Plan Components

• Evaluate– Graph

– Chart

• Respect Others

• Teacher monitors number of times students display respect (# of praise statements, “GOTCHAS” given)

Incorporate Lessons into Daily Activities

• Writing or Math Assignments

• Morning Announcements

• Recognition Programs

• Practice in School Locations

• School Newsletter Articles

• Staff Buy-In

• Team Presentations/Communications with Staff

Activity #8: Lesson Plans

• In 3 groups per Team (tape on large post-it), – Select lower or upper age of students– Select 1 of 3-5 behavioral expectations– Write a lesson plan for the rule

• Post & Share with Teams for feedback

• Using the “stickies”, provide feedback to each group

Recognizing School-wide Behavioral Expectations

• Encouraging/establishing use of new behaviors– Consistent and equal opportunities to access– Over time, reinforcement should move from

• Tangible to social• External to internal• Frequent to infrequent

• Student Focus & Staff Focus– Changes in behavior to be recognized

• Students who display expected behaviors• Staff who implement the PBIS program

• Concerns– “Kids know how to act and don’t need reinforcement”– “Not fair”– “Kids shouldn’t work for things”

• Remember: Response cost is NOT an aspect of PBIS

GOOSE Passes - Staff

• We give a GOOSE to a teacher every Friday who is implementing the PBIS program. This allows them to leave early one day that month.

Villa Rica ES

Willis Road ES

Take Home Message• Plan for ways to monitor (collect data) on your

systems!• Avoid Response Cost Systems – Refrain from

taking away student’s earned incentives – talk to them about a “missed Opportunity”

• Avoid staff telling students “I will give you – if you –”

• KISS – Keep It SMOOTH & SIMPLE• Change incentives to heighten interest level• Plan incentives based on DATA

Activity #9: Reinforcement System

• As a group (write/tape on large post-it), – Select reinforcers to provide students who display

the school-wide rules• What will it look like?

– Write how, when, and by whom will reinforcers be given

– What will students earn?– Write how data will be recorded/analyzed

• Repeat above for staff reinforcers– What would motivate you to follow through?

Collecting: Office versus Classroom Managed Behaviors

Office-Managed

Behaviors• Weapon• Drugs• Fighting• Sexual Harassment• Repeated violation of

minor behaviors
