Successful implementation…
Of the many multi-layered facets of PBIS requires a clear, systematic, and straightforward approach…
For our sequence of PBIS strategies we employ the acronym “T-E-A-C-H.”
To Discipline is to T-E-A-C-H
Teach the expectations all students, individual, classroom, non-classroom and school wide.
Encourage students to make good decisions, redirect and pre-correct.
Acknowledge positive behavior with positive words and positive messages.
Celebrate positive choices.
Harvest the referral data for decision-making and interventions.

T-each the Expectations
In order for students to understand positive behavior ….they must be taught positive behavior….Teach positive behavior by describing, demonstrating, explaining, discussing, modeling, listening….
TEACH Behavior !!!TEACH Behavior !!! TEACH Behavior !!!
T-each the Expectations• Teach behaviors directly• School wide Matrix of Expectations-posted

area by class.• Lesson plans that teach respect• Embedding the teaching of respect into the
curriculum (Civil rights, women’s movement) • Behavioral Interventions for non-responders.• Advisory
E-ncourage students to make good choices
We try to encourage positive behavior by helping students make positive decisions using the tools of redirections, pre-corrections, reinforcements and reminders…
E-ncourage students to make good choices
• “Positive interactions are free”• Pre-corrections, Redirections
Reinforcements, Reminders• 5-1 positive to negative • Reframe our own thinking if
needed.• Redirect students
A-cknowledge the positive behavior
If you want the positive behavior to be repeated you have to recognize and acknowledge the positive behavior…It is essential to provide this acknowledgement with positive words, positive messages and positive referrals…
A-cknowledge the positive behavior
• “Catch them being good”• Become ego-architects• Be specific with praise• Positive Referrals• Phone calls home
C-elebrate Positive Choices
When students and are recognized and rewarded for making positive choices they feel valued and important-Rewarding students and staff with incentives, prizes, plaques, awards etc….can make a big difference in creating a more positive school culture…
C-elebrate Positive Choices
• Student of the month• Prizes, gift certificates, movie passes• Ice cream celebrations, assemblies• Classroom celebrations• Difference between a bribe and a
reward?
H-arvest the referral data for decision making and
behavioral interventions.
In order to make decisions about our PBIS program it is critical that the discipline data be analyzed.

Kent Island High School has established…
Four behavioral expectations for the 2007-2008 school year…
We at Kent Island High School believe that
these four behavioral expectations; respecting others, self, learning, and property are critical elements of a positive school environment for all members of our school community.
Directly and Formally TEACH School-wide Behavioral
Expectations Teach expectations in a variety of ways, e.g., sample multiple intelligencesEmbed lessons into subject area curriculumModel with examples and non-examplesHave students practice DEMONSTRATING the expectations until fluentProvide feedback and positive acknowledgement for correct behavior

System?• Increases the likelihood that
desired behaviors will be repeated
• Focuses staff and student attention on desired behaviors
• Fosters a positive school climate
• Reduces the need for engaging in time consuming disciplinary measures
Rewarding Staff
• Keeping staff motivated is just as important to the PBIS process as motivating students
• Utilize community resources and local businesses
• Incentives for staff that have worked at other schools include:– After School Ice Cream Social– Leave early pass– Special Parking Spots– Recognition at faculty meetings
“Golden Plunger”
• Involves custodians• Procedure
– Custodian selects one classroom/ hallway each week that is clean & orderly
