PBISPositive Behavior Interventions & Supports
We know…• To improve the academic success of our children, we
must also improve their social success.
• Academic and social failures go hand in hand.

Logic for School-wide PBIS• Schools face a set of difficult challenges today
-Multiple expectations (Academic accomplishment, Social competence, Safety)
-Students arrive at school with widely differing understandings of what is socially acceptable.
-Traditional “get tough” and “zero tolerance” approaches are insufficient.
-Faculty come with divergent visions of effective discipline.• Individual student interventions
-Effective, but can’t meet need
• School-wide discipline systems-Establish a social culture within which both social and academic
success is more likely
Traditional Discipline vs. PBIS• Traditional
-Focuses on the student’s problem behavior
-Relies on punishment to stop unwanted behavior
• PBIS-Replaces unwanted behaviors
with new behaviors or skills
-Alters environments
-Teaches appropriate skills
-Reinforces appropriate behaviors
Tier 1/Universal Practices of PBIS Define
-3 to 5 school-wide expectations Teach/Pre-correct
-cool tools/behavior lesson plans direct instruction-in-the-moment reminders
Model/Practice-adults model what they teach-students practice what we teach
Acknowledge-daily recognition – ex. Gotchas-weekly/quarterly grade-level/whole school celebrations
Re-teach-re-teach the expectations using different strategies-have the student practice the skill
School-Wide Behavioral MatrixPurposes:*Defines the expected behaviors for specific non-classroom settings:
-hallways, gym, cafeteria, bus, bathrooms, assemblies, playground
*Creates the “curriculum” that will guide the teaching of expected behaviors
*Enhances communication and creates common language among staff and between students and staff

Establish Procedures for Teaching Expected Behavior
Since behavioral skills are learned, it is necessary to teach expected behaviors to fluency as we would academic skills.
The purpose of Cool Tools/Behavior Lesson Plans is to teach behaviors like we teach academics.
“Why Should I Acknowledge Students for Something They
Should Be Doing Anyway?”
Guidelines for Use of Acknowledgements
• School-wide reinforcements are for every student in the building, regardless of where they fall in the PBIS triangle
• Move from-highly frequent to less frequent-predictable to unpredictable-tangible to social -other-delivered to self-delivered
• Individualize for students needing greater support systems
Why do we use data?Data gives a picture of what’s happening behaviorally in the schoolSets baseline to measure improvement Identifies needGuides intervention planningMeasures effectiveness of interventions
PBIS Team CONSISTENTLY Review the Following Data/Graphs(Current to within 48 hours):
The “Big Five” Reports
• Average per day per month
• By type of behavior• By location• By time of day• By student
Other Data
• Ethnicity• Disability• Attendance• Detentions/Suspensions• Academic
-grades-missing work
• Etc.

Benefits to Implementing PBIS with Integrity
• Safe, calm, and predictable environment• Consistency among ALL adults and in ALL settings• Gain of instructional minutes• Fewer ODRs, suspensions and expulsions• Engaged families have a positive effect on the school environment
What you can see in a PBIS SchoolSmall number of positively stated & behaviorally
appropriate school wide expectations.Expectations are taught and encouraged.Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed the negative.Data & team-based action planning & implementation is
happening.Administrators are active participants in all aspects of
implementation process.More than 80% of students can tell you what is expected
of them & give behavioral example because they have been taught, actively supervised, practiced and acknowledged.
What evidence of PBIS do you see in your building???
Do you see a small number of positively stated & behaviorally appropriate school-wide expectations???
Do you see that expectations are taught and encouraged???
Do you see that positive adult-to-student interactions exceed the negative???
Do you see that data & team-based action planning and implementation is happening???
Do you see your administrator as an active participant???
Do you see that more than 80% of students can tell you what is expected of them & can give a behavioral example because they have been taught, actively supervised, practiced, and acknowledged???
How can I support creating this consistent and positive environment for my student?
Be aware of and use the common language used at school.
Model the expectations so the students can see examples.
Help the students practice the expectations by using positive language.
-helping them with what TO do, not what NOT TO do
Acknowledge students for success!
Tips for Teaching Behavior
Pre-correctHave a plan for behavioral acting-outPractice should be conducted in actual setting whenever possible
Use example and non-exampleUse high frequency acknowledgments
How to Give an Acknowledgement?Example:
Step 1: Acknowledge specific behaviorStep 2: Tie back to school-wide expectations
Example: Nice job sitting in your seat
when the bell rang. Way to be there, be ready.Non-example:
Giving ticket without saying anythingGiving ticket for non-school wide expectationsOnly giving for “above and beyond” behavior
