How Does Behavior Support Academics?

• Improved behavior decreases office referrals and suspensions and increases instructional minutes

• Improved behavior makes instructional minutes more effective

• Improved behavior creates a climate that is calm and conducive to learning

Spring Activities

• Implementation Phases Inventory (IPI)– Due by April 10

• School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET)– Scheduled in the spring

• Benchmarks of Quality (BOQ)– Due by May 15

• Staff Survey– Completed online by school staff

• Prepare for Summer Institute

Implementation Phases Inventory (IPI)

• Features of PBIS are listed, defined, and scored to obtain scores in the following categories:– Preparation Phase (10 items)– Initiation Phase (15 items)– Implementation Phase (12 items)– Maintenance Phase ( 7 items)

response most frequently given• These responses are compared with the score

obtained by the coach using a rubric for scoring• The team evaluates the school’s strengths and

weaknesses to prepare for action planning

• PBIS Team• Faculty Commitment• Effective Procedures for

Dealing with Discipline• Data Entry & Analysis

Plan Established• Expectations & Rules

Developed
