Challenge #4

SW-PBS Logic!

Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable(Zins & Ponti, 1990)

Context Matters!

ExamplesIndividual Student

vs.School-wide

“Reiko”

Assessments indicate that Reiko performs in average to above average range in most academic areas. However, her teacher has noticed Reiko’s frequent talking & asking & answering questions without raising her hand has become an annoying problem to other students & to teacher.

What would you do?

“Kiyoshi”Kiyoshi is a highly competent student, but has long history of antisocial behavior. He is quick to anger, & minor events quickly escalate to major confrontations. He has few friends, & most of his conflicts occur with peers in hallways & cafeteria & on bus. In last 2 months, he has been given 8 days of in school detention & 6 days of out of school suspension. In a recent event, he broke glasses of another student.

What would you do?

“Mitch”

Mitch displays a number of stereotypic (e.g., light filtering with his fingers, head rolling) & self-injurious behaviors (e.g., face slapping, arm biting), & his communications are limited to a verbal vocabulary of about 25 words. When his usual routines are changed or items are not in their usual places, his rates of stereotypic & self-injurious behavior increase quickly.

What would you do?

“Rachel”Rachel dresses in black every day, rarely interacts with teachers or other students, & writes & distributes poems & stories about witchcraft, alien nations, gundams, & other science fiction topics. When approached or confronted by teachers, she pulls hood of her black sweatshirt or coat over her head & walks away. Mystified by Rachel’s behavior, teachers usually shake their heads & let her walk away. Recently, Rachel carefully wrapped a dead squirrel in black cloth & placed it on her desk. Other students became frightened when she began talking to it.

What would you do?

Fortunately, we have a science that guides us to…

• Assess these situations• Develop behavior intervention

plans based on our assessment• Monitor student progress & make

enhancementsAll in ways that can be culturally & contextually appropriate

Crone & Horner, 2003

However, context matters….

What factors influence our ability to implement what we know with accuracy, consistency, & durability for students like Rachel, Reiko, Mitch, & Kiyoshi?

“159 Days!”

Intermediate/senior high school with 880 students reported over 5,100 office discipline referrals in one academic year. Nearly 2/3 of students have received at least one office discipline referral.

Reiko is in this

school!

5,100 referrals =

76,500 min @15 min =

1,275 hrs =

159 days @ 8 hrs

“Da place ta be”

During 4th period, in-school detention room has so many students that the overflow is sent to the counselor’s office. Most students have been assigned for being in the hallways after the late bell.Kiyoshi is in this

school!

“Cliques”

During Advisory Class, the “sportsters” sit in the back of the room, & “goths” sit at the front. Most class activities result in out of seat, yelling arguments between the two groups.Mitch is in this

classroom!

“Four corners”

Three rival gangs are competing for “four corners.” Teachers actively avoid the area. Because of daily conflicts, vice principal has moved her desk to four corners. Rachel is in this

school!

“FTD”

On 1st day of school, a teacher found “floral” arrangement on his desk. “Welcome to the neighborhood” was written on the cardYou are in this

School!

2 Worries & Ineffective Responses to Problem Behavior

• Get Tough (practices)

• Train-&-Hope (systems)

Worry #1“Teaching” by Getting Tough

Runyon: “I hate this f____ing school, & you’re a dumbf_____.”

Teacher: “That is disrespectful language. I’m sending you to the office so you’ll learn never to say those words again….starting now!”

Immediate & seductive solution…. “Get Tough!”

• Clamp down & increase monitoring• Re-re-re-review rules• Extend continuum & consistency of

consequences• Establish “bottom line”

...Predictable individual response

Reactive responses are predictable….

When we experience aversive situation, we want select interventions that produce immediate relief– Remove student– Remove ourselves – Modify physical environment– Assign responsibility for change to student

&/or others

When behavior doesn’t improve, we “Get Tougher!”

• Zero tolerance policies

• Increased surveillance

• Increased suspension & expulsion

• In-service training by expert

• Alternative programming

…Predictable systems response!

Erroneous assumption that student…

• ….is inherently “bad”

• …will learn more appropriate behavior through increased use of “aversives”

• …will be better tomorrow…

But….false sense of safety/security!

• Fosters environments of control• Triggers & reinforces antisocial

behavior • Shifts accountability away from school• Devalues child-adult relationship• Weakens relationship between

academic & social behavior programming

Science of behavior has taught us that students….

• …are NOT born with “bad behaviors”• …do NOT learn when presented contingent

aversive consequences

...DO LEARN better ways of behaving by being taught directly & receiving positive feedback….consider function

Non-examples of Function-Based approach

“Function” = outcome, result, purpose, consequence

• “Lantana, you skipped 2 school days, so we’re going to suspend you for 2 more.”

• “Phloem, I’m taking your book away because you obviously aren’t ready to learn.”

• “You want my attention?! I’ll show you attention,…let’s take a walk down to the office & have a little chat with the Principal.”

• Overuse of reactive management

• Adoption of non-evidence based practices

• Mis-/non-use information to guide decision making

• Lack of investment in local implementers

• Inefficient use of our potential, time & expertise

• Adoption of inefficient & irrelevant systems

• Use of “train-n-hope” approach to teaching & learning

Teach Rules in the Context of Routines

• Teach expectations directly.

–Define rule in operational terms—tell students what the rule looks like within routine.

–Provide students with examples and non-examples of rule-following within routine.

Skill Name

Getting Help(How to ask for assistance for difficulty tasks)

Teaching Examples

1. When you’re working on a math problem that you can’t figure out, raise your hand and wait until the teacher can help you.2. You and a friend are working together on a science experiment but you are missing a piece of lab equipment, ask the teacher for the missing equipment.3. You are reading a story but you don’t know the meaning of most of the words, ask the teacher to read and explain the word.

Kid Activity

1. Ask 2-3 students to give an example of a situation in which they needed help to complete a task, activity, or direction.2. Ask students to indicate or show how they could get help.3. Encourage and support appropriate discussion/responses. Minimize attention for inappropriate responses.

After the Lesson(During the Day)

1. Just before giving students difficult or new task, direction, or activity, ask them to tell you how they could get help if they have difficulty (precorrection).2. When you see students having difficulty with a task (e.g., off task, complaining), ask them to indicate that they need help (reminder).3. Whenever a student gets help the correct way, provide specific praise to the student.

“Cool Tool”

Teach Rules in the Context of Routines

• Actively involve students in lesson—game, role-play, etc. to check for their understanding.

Reviewing Strive for Five

• Be respectful.• Be safe.• Work peacefully.• Strive for excellence.• Follow directions.

McCormick Elem. MD 2003

Teach Rules in the Context of Routines

• Provide opportunities to practice rule following behavior in the natural setting.

Expectations & behavioral skills are taught & recognized in natural context

Prompt or Remind Students of the Rule

• Provide students with visual prompts (e.g., posters, illustrations, etc).

• Use pre-corrections, which include “verbal reminders, behavioral rehearsals, or demonstrations of rule-following or socially appropriate behaviors that are presented in or before settings were problem behavior is likely” (Colvin, Sugai, Good, Lee, 1997).

Monitor Students’ Behavior in Natural Context

• Active Supervision (Colvin, Sugai, Good, Lee, 1997): –Move around

–Look around

–Interact with students

Monitor Students’ Behavior in Natural Context

• Provide reinforcement and specific praise to students who are following rules.

• Catch errors early and provide specific, corrective feedback to students who are not following rules. (Think about how you would correct an academic error.)

Monitoring DismissalMcCormick Elementary School, MD

Establish a continuum of procedures to encourage rule following behavior.

Are “Rewards” Dangerous?

“…our research team has conducted a series of reviews and analysis of (the reward) literature; our conclusion is that there is no inherent negative property of reward. Our analyses indicate that the argument against the use of rewards is an overgeneralization based on a narrow set of circumstances.”– Cameron, 2002

• who is making them?• where are the errors occurring?• what kind of errors are being made?

• Summarize data (look for patterns)

• Use data to make decisions

Office Discipline Referrals• Definition

– Kid-Teacher-Administrator interaction– Underestimation of actual behavior

• Improving usefulness & value– Clear, mutually exclusive, exhaustive definitions– Distinction between office v. classroom managed– Continuum of behavior support – Positive school-wide foundations– Within school comparisons
