Individual Student Tier 1

March 18, 2014 Cohort 9, North Region

Bemidji, MN

Individual Student Tier 1 Purpose: Provide an overview

and discuss implementation strategies of School-wide Positive

Behavioral Interventions and Supports for individual students.

Erroneous assumption that student…

•  Is inherently “bad” •  Will learn more appropriate behavior

through increased use of “aversives” •  Will be better tomorrow…….

2

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

Acknowledging SW Expectations: Rationale

•  To learn, humans require regular & frequent feedback on their actions

•  Humans experience frequent feedback from others, self, & environment – Planned/unplanned – Desirable/undesirable

•  W/o formal feedback to encourage desired behavior, other forms of feedback shape undesired behaviors

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
