INTRODUCTION TO POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT
Agenda
Introduction to SW-PBS Key Features Examples Data collection Engaging staff
Why PBS?
Common mistakes
Assuming students know what is expected of them
Punishing students for failure to exhibit a behaviour they don’t know how to perform
Punitive and exclusionary discipline, which leads to a negative school climate
Why PBS?
We want to actively create a more positive, engaging, and encouraging school climate.
Positive school climate is linked to: Attendance Higher academic achievement Higher school morale Higher teacher self-efficacy
What is PBS?
Evidence-based framework Explicit teaching of socially responsible
behaviour Data guides decision making Proactive, preventative Collaborative Linked to academic and behavioural
outcomes
PBS – District Achievement Contract Goal # 1 – Social Responsibility
“Social responsibility is foundational to academic achievement”
Focus Area # 1 – School-wide PBS PBS is the main framework to achieve Social
Responsibility “Expand successful PBS efforts from pockets of
exceptional practice to a more robust district where all schools adopt common practices”
Major Initiatives Training Coaching support District-wide data collection

4 PBS Elements
Does PBS Work?
Opportunities for teaching and learning are maximized (Horner et al., 2009; Scott & Barrett, 2004)
Improvements in math achievement (Lassen et al., 2006)
Improvements in reading achievement (Horner et al., 2009)
Improved student social relations, student-teacher relationships, and feelings of safety (Conroy et al., 2008; Horner, et al., 2009)
Decreased teacher stress and increased teacher self-efficacy (Bennett & McIntosh, 2011)
Key Features of PBS
1. Code of Conduct/Behavioural Expectations Choose 3 to 5 expectations May be based on your school’s code of
conduct Positively stated Easy to remember Mutually exclusive Staff involvement and input Expanded on in a matrix:
“What does this look like in different settings?”
Key Features of PBS
2. Targeted/Explicit Instruction Have a plan for teaching students the
behavioural expectations in the matrix Age-appropriate instruction Demonstrate/role play examples and non-
examples Have the students practice expectations in
the setting (classroom, hallway, playground, etc.)
Post expectations in all areas of the school
Key Features of PBS
3. Use positive feedback when students demonstrate positive/desired behaviours Easy and quick form of acknowledgement Used by all staff Ratio of rewards to corrections is high System of feedback for all students and
staff Assemblies Posted in the school
Key Features of PBS
4. Establish a PBS team Representative of the school community Administrator as an active member Schedule regular team meetings Agree on expectations for voting,
problem-solving, confidentiality, record-keeping, etc.
Key Features of PBS
5. Use data to track students behaviour and evaluate effectiveness of PBS Data to measure effectiveness:
Social Responsibility Quick Scales Satisfaction Survey School-wide data (i.e., PM Benchmarks, QCA,
VIN) Incident Referrals Record of positive reinforcements given
Data to measure implementation: Benchmarks of Quality
Key Features of PBS
6. Collaborate with District PBS Coaches
Recap: Key Features
1. Code of conduct/behavioural expectations
2. Targeted/Explicit Instruction
3. Positive feedback/reinforcement
4. PBS Team
5. Data Collection
6. Collaboration with PBS District Coaches
Remember that…
Implementation occurs in phases! Becoming a PBS school is a process Take time to ensure you are
implementing with fidelity Most schools take up to 3 years to be
fully implementing PBS

FROM:
TO:
Primary sources of PBS data
Benchmarks of Quality Office Discipline Referrals Social Responsibility quick scales
(Elementary) Satisfaction Survey (Middle and
Secondary)
Benchmarks of Quality
Our measure of implementation focused on the 6 key features
Can be used both as a planning & evaluation tool
Who completes it? PBS team members
How long will it take? 10 to 15 mins.
What scores are produced? % of implementation in all the key features
Incident Referrals
?
Data we are collecting: Number of students who received 0 to 1
referrals Number of students who received 2 to 5
referrals Number of students who received 6 +
referrals
Social Responsibility Quick Scale Positive source of outcome data Two aspects:
Contributing to the classroom and school community
Solving problems in peaceful ways Teacher rates each student using the rubric
Source: http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/perf_stands/social_resp.htm
Social Responsibility QS
How to collate:1. Each classroom teacher rates their
students using the rubric.2. Each classroom teacher reports the
number of students in each category (Not yet within expectations, Meets expectations at a minimal level, Fully meets expectations, Exceeds expectations).
3. PSB rep collects data from all classroom teachers and sums the number of students in each category.
4. PBS rep converts raw data to percentages.
Satisfaction Survey
Questions from the survey we are looking at: Do you feel safe at school? At school, are you bullied, teased, or picked
on? Do you know how your school expects
students to behave? Do you feel welcome at your school?

Satisfaction Survey
PBS Rep’s role: Encourage/promote participation in the
Satisfaction Survey Be able to explain why this data is
important in evaluating PBS and how it will be used
