Finish with a plan to implement school-wide consistent behavior practices!
Your current school-wide discipline process:
What is working well?
What is not working well?
ASSESSMENT/DISCUSSION
… what the problem behaviors are at VPA?
… where problem behaviors occur?
… what your staff views as priority issues for behavior
management?
How do you know?
Discussion
What are your top 3 problem behaviors?
What are your top 3 locations for problem
behaviors?
• Where are you strongest?
• Where are you weakest?
• How big a deal is it to you?
Self-Assessment Survey (SAS)
PBIS is your school’s process for teaching
social and behavioral skills so your focus
can be on teaching and learning!

Fact about Punishment…..
• More instructional time
• More time spent on positive interactions with
students
• Sanity ☺
• Predictability:
• Common, consistent practices and routines
PBIS: What’s in it for you?
Critical components of PBIS
1. Expected behaviors defined clearly
2. Expected behaviors taught
3. Expected behaviors acknowledged regularly
4. Problem behaviors defined clearly
5. Regular examination of data

No Activity Classes today.
Homeroom teachers, please plan to spend about 30 minutes teaching expected behaviors for these parts of the
Behavior Matrix: Arrival, Dismissal, Indoor Break, Activity Classes and Classroom.
Celebration assembly in the Auditorium from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
REPETITION IS KEY!
• Review
• Remind students of expected behaviors
often
• Find opportunities to pre-correct
DAILY ROUTINE!EXAMPLE: PRINCIPAL’S PBIS “TIP OF THE DAY”
“Think of people traffic in the hallway like car traffic on the street. Cars
drive on the right side of the street. If you walk on the right side of the
hall, you won’t run into people traveling in the opposite direction. No
one wants to have a “wreck” in the hall! Bearcats never lose when
they respect others and the environment!”
Thank you to Brookland Middle School
HAVE AN ANNUAL PLAN FOR TEACHING EXPECTATIONS
• Kick-off : with all students in all areas of school
• Weekly behavior lesson plans
• target behavior, expectation, or area of school
• target behavior showing up most often in the data
• Review the expectations daily
• After a long break, a booster training will remind
students of the expectations

Critical components of PBIS
“WHAT THE WORLD'S GREATEST MANAGERS DO DIFFERENTLY”
.Create working environments where employees:
1. Know what is expected
2. Have the materials and equipment to do the job correctly
3. Receive recognition each week for good work
4. Have a supervisor who cares, and pays attention
5. Receive encouragement to contribute and
improve
...buckingham & coffman 202, gallup
Interviews with 1 million workers, 80,000 managers, in 400 companies
WHY DO WE ACKNOWLEDGE DESIRED BEHAVIOR?
• Reinforce new behaviors
• Encourage the behaviors we want in the future
• Positive peer pressure
• Possibly the only bright spot in student’s day!!
• Turn the behavior into a habit!!
Ultimate Goal=INTRINSICALLY motivated.

Bottom line…
Students need recognition and
encouragement and they respond positively,
as all of us do, to acts of appreciation.
Why?
Positive behavior recognition to encourage students to consistently demonstrate school-wide expectations:
Should ONLY be given to students who are consistently demonstrating school-wide expectations
Who?
All staff (teaching, office, building service, cafeteria, bus driver and substitute teacher) should be in on recognizingpositive behavior
Where?
Should be linked to the appropriate behavior based on the locations in the Expectations Matrix.
When?
Should be acknowledged immediately to students when a behavior in the Expectations Matrix is consistently observed. (especially for younger students)
How?
When recognizing 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:
Example: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe.
Be SPECIFIC in your praise!
No: “Yo Dude….good job!”
Yes: “Thank you Jack for picking up that trash!
I appreciate how you are respecting our
cafeteria!”
SPECIFIC POSITIVE FEEDBACK
“Thank you for being responsible by following directions and
getting started right away. When I said it was time to begin,
you got your materials out and began working quickly. You
have earned a Cardinal Card.”
1. Focus on WHAT you are giving out for, rather than on how many.
2. Try setting a ‘goal’ for how many to pass out each day
(Each staff member starts the day with 5)
3. See your PBIS team leader to restock.
4. Don’t use as coercion
“If you don’t do this, I’m not giving youa STAR buck.”
Recap:
• What interests do your students have?
• How would your teachers/staff like to be acknowledged for their efforts?
• What can you do if your school has a limited budget?
Think about it...
“For good behavior, what could an adult at your school give you? What would mean the
world to you? It needs to be something that doesn't cost much money.”
2 Arkansas Middle Schools
“For good behavior, what could an adult at your school give you?
What would mean the world to you? It needs to be something that
doesn't cost much money.”

PLANNING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
What do you use to acknowledge expected
behavior?
How do your students redeem them?
(e.g., go to a PBIS ‘store’, have a traveling cart go room to room, have an order form, etc.)
What do your students redeem them for? (e.g., PBIS ‘store’ items, PBIS order form items, collectables – like charms, etc.)
THE “GIVERS” OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Who gives acknowledgements and are they all
worth the same amount?
Example:
principal tickets count for 5,
substitutes’ tickets count for 2,
librarian gives a class acknowledgement
WHAT DO ADULTS WANT?

Certificate
Rock Star

EXAMPLE FROM MARYLAND
The administrators
present a monthly
GOOSE (Get Out of
School Early) Award
to a staff member
who has gone “above
and beyond” in
service to the school.
GOOSE AWARDS
STAFF member recognition! Helps with PBIS
Buy-in!

NON-COST (MOSTLY) REINFORCEMENT IDEAS FOR
STUDENTS
“About once a week I choose a student to receive the
"positive postcard". I actually mail a postcard to their house!
They love receiving mail from their teacher!”

School-wide Celebrations
HOW DO YOU HANDLE SCHOOL-WIDE CELEBRATIONS?
Do ALL students get what the collective group earns?
Do some students get extra for exceptional performance?

Critical components of PBIS
➢ Do staff agree on what behaviors are
Classroom Managed vs. Office Managed?
➢ Procedures for handling problem behavior
=consistency among all staff
Who deals with what behaviors?
K-4 grades have the same expectations.
Teachers are all aware of the behaviors that
should be managed in the classroom and what
behaviors are office referral worthy.

HOW AND WHY SHOULD PBIS USE DATA?
• Review data showing progress
• Communicate data to school, district, families
• Look at current data and problem solve
PROBLEM SOLVING
Some possible steps after pinpointing the problem:
• Gather more information
• Make environmental or scheduling changes
• Design an intervention (re-teach, reinforce, collect data,
etc.)
Determining what to do next!
• Prevention – keep it from happening again
• Extinction – make the expected behavior more
attractive than the problem behavior
• Recognition – acknowledge those that follow the
expected behavior
• Consequences – consistent handling of any
persistent problem behaviors
• Data Collection – is it working?
Solution Development and Action Planning
PBIS takes work and buy-in from
staff and students
(unfortunately it doesn’t just magically happen! ☺)
Remember….
• People come and go
• long-term sustainability
• Problem-solving process
• need diverse expertise and
input
