Review of PBIS and the philosophy behind it

8

Making a Positive Change

9

PBIS is a new philosophy

PBIS = proactive and positive approach to discipline

PBIS = positive school climate

PBIS = positive student behavior

PBIS ≠ waiting for students to make a mistake

PBIS ≠ focus on punitive discipline

Guiding Questions

Keep asking these questions:

What outcomes do we want for our students?

What supports will help them reach those outcomes?

How will we deliver those supports?

How will we know if they are working?

OutcomesRespectful

Responsible

Safe

Kind

Collaborative

Resilient

…

12

Academic

and Personal

Success

Supports for Outcomes- How you support staff so that they can support students

Plan for how and when you teach students behavior

Plan for acknowledging appropriate behavior

Plan for addressing inappropriate behavior

Develop problem solving team to make decisions

Delivery of Supports for Students- Reduce problem behaviors across the entire

student body

- Everyone receives general education and other

universal practices to support behavioral success

• Teach appropriate behavior

• Model appropriate behavior

• Recognize appropriate behavior

• Discourage inappropriate behavior

Tier 1: Core instruction for all

students.

Tier II: Targeted supports for

students with non-serious

repetitive behaviors.

Tier III: Individualized supports

for students engaging in

dangerous or threatening

behaviors

A continuum of

practices

How to Know if Supports are Working

Monitor data (e.g., Office Discipline Referrals)

How will you make informed decisions & measure

success?

Answer the following:

Who

What

When

Where

Why

Data Allow Informed Decisions

What behavior do you want to see?

18

Behavior Expectations

What expectations did you choose?

Why did you choose them?

Share

19

Use POSITIVE language: tell students what TO DO

Be brief

Use simple language

You can use pictures for very young children

Activity: Behavior Matrices

Identify non-classroom areas of your building (hallways,

restrooms, cafeteria, library, bus, playground, assemblies,

etc.)

Working in pairs, define your chosen behaviors for your

expectations in those areas.

Share your Work On what areas did you focus?

How did you define behaviors?

Are they all phrased positively?

Teaching Expectations

Teaching ExpectationsNow that expectations are defined, how will you teach

students?

Give definition

Model the behavior

Let students practice

Give students feedback

Elementary Lesson Plan For The Bus Line

• Teacher checks for

understanding in multiple

ways

• Students are given

opportunities to practice

Example of Voice Level Chart

Some guiding questions:

Who will teach the expectations?

What method or means will you use?

Where will you teach the expectations?

When will you teach expectations?

Acknowledgements

35

Encouraging Appropriate Behavior

AcknowledgementsAcknowledgements should ONLY be given to students who are demonstrating school-wide expectations

All staff should be giving acknowledgements

Acknowledgements should be linked to the appropriate behavior based on the Expectations Matrix.

When a staff member acknowledges a student for using an expected behavior, the ‘reward’ should be given immediately.

When you award acknowledgements to a student, the student should know exactly why he/she is getting the recognition. The reason should be valid and connected to the core values (expectations).

Examples of Acknowledgements

Some Other Examples of Acknowledgements

Activity: Student AcknowledgementsCreate your plan for Acknowledgements. Some guiding questions:

• Will you use tangible rewards? If so, what type (tickets,

coupons, etc.)?

• How will you ensure they are being given out properly and

consistently?

• What non-tangible rewards will work for your students?

• What types of group, classroom, or schoolwide rewards will

you use?

Kick-off Activity

Preparing for Kick-Off: Staff Think about issues your staff may have with PBIS

implementation

Think about the best way(s) you can present PBIS to your

staff

Preparing for Kick-Off: Students

Idea: Teaching expectations with “Rotation Stations”

Thank you to Brookland Middle School

Preparing for Kick-Off: Parents

Next steps before Kick-Off Develop posters/instructions for each non-classroom

location in school of expected behaviors

Complete behavior lesson plans for each area in school

Develop plans for how to teach behavior

Determine who, what, and when to teach behavior

Complete tangible acknowledgement for good behavior

Determine Assessment Schedule
