AGENDA

Excitement! Adolescent brain development Big messages from PBIS at the High School

Level

NEUROSCIENCE

Can provide the technology for understanding brain functioning and development during adolescence

Timerlake, Schaal, Steinmetz, 2005

DEVELOPMENT OVER TIME

EMOTIONAL RESPONDING

EMOTIONAL RECOGNITION

Monk et al (2003)

REWARDS CENTER

REWARDS CENTER

Early adolescent show fewer reward signals in the brain to stimuli. The intensity of rewards must be higher for early adolescents to feel rewarded (Sprague, 2008).

WHITE MATTER

ADOLESCENT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

Physiological and functional differences on cognition Amygdala Emotional recognition Rewards center White matter

NEUROPLASTICITY

“… neuroanatomical evidence suggests that learning and positive experiences help build complex, adaptive brains”.

The Adolescent Brain: A Work in Progress, Daniel R.Weinberger, M.D., Brita Elvevåg, Ph.D, Jay N. Giedd, M.D., June 2005

NEUROPLASTICITY

Environmental supports: Explicitness in instruction Explicitness in acknowledgements

Exaggerated supports around decision-making, responsibility

CONSIDER BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND PBIS AT HIGH SCHOOL

BIG MESSAGES FROM PBIS AT HS

Systems First Feedback Loop Academic and Social Connection Stakeholder Input

SYSTEMS: PBIS FLUENCY

1. Administrative team fluency in PBIS Understand systems perspective Outcomes, Data, Systems, Practices

Understand critical features for implementation and sustainability

SYSTEMS: PBIS FLUENCY

2. Implementation team fluency Understand systems perspective Outcomes, Data, Systems, Practices

Roles within each component

3. Staff-wide training prior to roll out of practices

SYSTEMS

Communication System Feedback loop

Staff Students Families Community

Contextual Considerations…

ACADEMIC & SOCIAL CONNECTION Explicitness of connection

Social behaviors impact academic behaviors Academic behaviors impact social behaviors

Implementation of evidence based practices focuses on: Social behaviors that provide access to academic

success

Explicit language, skill building, supports around access CICO, Academic Supports, Acknowledgements,

Social Expectations, Discipline system, etc.

COMMUNITY, FAMILY FEEDBACK
