School Wide PBIS at Ed Tech

The special education programs at the Lapeer County Education and Technology Center are dedicated to working with students to increase independence and socialization in order to become participating citizens in our society.

We believe in promoting safety, effort and respect with each student and across the school setting. To help accomplish this goal, we will be using a school-wide approach to addressing behavior using the framework of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.

• Some teaching strategies may include, but are not limited to: • Role plays• Real life examples• Direct feedback• Any creative way you can think of!

Sample Lesson Plan

Matrix Location: Hallway

Core Value: Safety First

Behavior Expectations: Travel on the right side of the hallway.

Objective: Students will show being safe by traveling on the right side of the hallway.

Lesson

Define the expectation I can be a STAR in the hallway when walking down the hallway stay on the right hand side.

Why is it important (rationale) We need keep to the right side so that there is room for others to walk down the hall without running into people.

Examples (What does it look like/What does it sound like)

Walking on the far right side of the hallway.

Non-Examples Running.Walking on the left side.Walking in the middle.

Teaching Activity Use demonstration, modeling, role playing, video modeling and explain as appropriate. Give examples of what it is and what it is not. -Thumbs up/thumbs down smiley face/ frown popsicle sticks! - sort pictures of correct/incorrect -magazines appropriate inappropriate -switch activation of pictures/ “that’s a STAR”

Follow up Activities: Have students demonstratethe behaviors and give themopportunities to practice.“Catch a Star” record your students in the act, have other students record each other! Sort pictures on matrix

SYSTEMS FOR POSITIVE ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND

REINFORCEMENT

Principles for Rewarding Positive Behavior

• Appropriately acknowledging and rewarding the positive behavior of students is among the most effective ways to decrease problematic behavior and is essential to strengthening the repeated display of positive behavior in the school setting. Information included in this section of the manual offers general guidelines for acknowledging and rewarding positive behavior and provides an overview of Ed. Tech’s All STAR reward system.

• Reinforcing positive behavior is most effective when acknowledgement and reward is: Meaningful, Immediate, Frequent, Systemic

All STAR Acknowledgement Systems

• STAR Bucks• Shooting STAR of the Day• Trimester Awards• STARs of the Week• All STAR Wall of Fame• All STARs of the Month• STAR Staff of the Month

PREDICTABLE CONSEQUENCE SYSTEMS FOR

BEHAVIOR INFRACTIONS

Principles for Responding to Problematic Behavior

• Immediately and directly addressing problem behavior is essential to positive behavior changes. When giving effective warnings and consequences for problematic behavior, the following things should be considered:

• Meaningful: Students must have a clear understanding of why (i.e. for what specific behavior/expectation) they are receiving a specific warning or consequence

• Immediate: Warning and consequences that immediately follow a problematic behavior are most effective

• Consistent: Warning and consequences that are consistently delivered in response to problematic behavior are most effective

• Systemic: Having a well-defined system for delivering warnings/consequences in response to problem behavior promotes consistency within large group (i.e. classrooms)

Green, Yellow, Red

• Each classroom will display a visual behavior tracking system that includes each individual student in the classroom. The system may be modified to meet the needs of students and to meet teacher preference. Each classroom system must meet the following requirements. Staff may add to the system however they see fit.

• Green: If the student continues to make good choices and follows the All STAR behavioral expectations, his/her name or picture will stay on green/happy face/Yes. Green represents the appropriate behavior, and all students begin their day in this color.

• Yellow: If the student makes a poor choice or is not following the All STAR behavioral expectations, his/her name or picture will be moved to yellow and the student should be reminded of the appropriate behavioral expectations. The “move” may be staff or student initiated as appropriate.

• Red: If the student makes a second poor choice or is not following the All STAR behavioral expectations, his/her name will be moved to red and should have a conference with staff to discuss further decisions.

• If a student is in yellow or red at any part of the school day, he/she should be allowed to work their way back into the yellow and then into the green. This may be accomplished in various ways to accommodate individual students (i.e. demonstrating All STAR expectations, compliance task, participation, etc.)

• If a student has ended the day in yellow or red, it should not carry over to the next school day. Each day begins with a positive indicator.

• Note that within each classroom’s system,

individualized plans may be implemented for students with a Tier II or Tier III behavior support plan.

DATA-BASED DECISION MAKING

Data based decision making

Why??O To monitor effectiveness of PBIS systems O To identify students in need of additional

support

How??O Pre/Post Self-AssessmentsO Positive Indicator: STAR Bucks & STARs of the

MonthO Incidents of Seclusion & RestraintO Behavior Incident Forms

Behavior Incident Forms

• Used to track incidents of threatening or dangerous behavior which may require additional (tier II & tier III) behavioral interventions

• NOTE: BIF does not apply to students with a Tier II or Tier III plan – data should continue to be collected as outlined in his/her plan.

• Review procedures and questions regularly at staff meetings
