AgendaBackground on the problem:School to prison pipeline.Disproportionate minority representation.What is punishment anyway and how do I make it work.Integrating SWPBIS and Restorative Practices:Improving school climate.Alternatives to exclusionary discipline.Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 20152

BackgroundWhy do we need to do it this way?Discipline inequities.Race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation.School to prison pipeline.Teacher support.How can we make a difference?Culturally responsive SWPBIS.Restorative justice/discipline/practices.Define restorative practices.Provide background on the approach.Discuss and give examples of restorative practices and their relation to SWPBIS implementation.Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 20153

VocabularySW-PBISRestorative:JusticeThis is where RP is derived, and we recommend you avoid justice language in schools.Dont use offender and victim.DisciplineDerived from the Greek disciplus which means to teach or follow.PracticesMethods used to achieve restorative (and other) discipline outcomes.Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 20154

Common questions aboutPBIS and RPHow do PBIS and RP address school climate improvement?What is common?What is different?PBIS advocates for use of behavioral interventions.What is the basis for Restorative Practices?How does PBIS address disciplinary inequities?Could restorative practices improve these outcomes?Isnt restorative practice just another way to assign consequences?If I treat each student differently, they will start thinking some get away with it.Doesnt using restorative practices take a lot of time?

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 20155

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 2015Common response to behavioral challenges: Apply exclusionary disciplineIncrease monitoring and Supervision.Restate rules & sanctions (talk them out of it!)Pay more attention to problem behavior.Refer disruptive students to office, suspend, expel.Apply exclusionary discipline.6

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 2015Suspension and Expulsion, Why?Suspension and expulsion from school are methods used by school administrators to decrease violence, discourage drug abuse, and curtail criminal activities on campus. Suspension and expulsion are also used to deal with difficult and challenging behaviors, including truancy. Most U.S. schools have policies known as zero tolerancethe term given to a school or district policy that mandates predetermined consequences for various student offenses, and almost 90% of Americans support these policies.The ABA argues that it is wrong to mandate automatic expulsion or referral to juvenile court without taking into consideration the specifics of each case (AKA due process).7

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 20159

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 2015Children most likely to be suspended or expelled are those most in need of adult supervisionand professional helpLeast likely to have supervision at home. Children growing up in homes near or below the poverty level. Children with single parents are between 2 and 4 times as likely to be suspended or expelled from school as are children with both parents at home.There may also be racial bias for application of school disciplinary actions, with African American youth suspended at nearly 2 times the rate of white students in some regions (Skiba & Peterson, 1998).Children who use illicit substances, commit crimes, disobey rules, and threaten violence often are victims of abuse, are depressed, or have mental health needs.10

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 2015Punishment practices may appearto work in the short term:Remove student.Provides relief to teachers, students, administrator.BUT, we attribute responsibility for change to student &/or others (family).

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 2015Does Exclusionary Discipline Work Without A Balance of Teaching and Restoration?Detrimental effects on teacher-student relations.Modeling: undesirable problem solving: Reduced motivation to maintain self-control.Generates student anger and disengagement.Results in more problems (Mayer, 1991).Truancy, dropout, vandalism, aggression.Does not teach: Weakens academic achievement.Correlated with dropout, delinquency, criminality and negative life outcomes.13

13

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 2015When youth are not in school, they are:

More likely to become involved in a physical fight and to carry a weapon.Smoke; use alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine; and engage in sexual intercourse.Suicidal ideation and behavior may be expected to occur more often at these times of isolation among susceptible youth. Drop out of school.

Zero tolerance has not been shown to improve school climate or school safety.

APA Task Force Report on Zero ToleranceJeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201515

What it is: School policies and practices that push students out of traditional school settings into more restrictive settings, including juvenile justice settingsPathway:

16School-to-Prison Pipeline/Discipline Gap

MJeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 2015

Students who dont perform well in school, academically and/or behaviorally, become marginalized. Those who struggle academically are prone to exhibit problem behavior, and those who engage in problem behavior are prone to fail academically. School disciplinary policies like zero tolerance and criminalizing problem behavior promote the process of excluding them from the regular school setting, which sets them on a path leading to disengagement and involvement with the juvenile justice system.16

Teacher supportThe National Center for Education Statistics in 1998 pointed out a staggering statistic: out of the 467 accredited universities and colleges in the study, only 51% stated that they offered specific courses in discipline, and only 43% of the students at these schools were required to take these courses.Greer-Chase, M., Rhodes, W. A., & Kellam, S. G. (2002). Why the prevention of aggressive behaviors in middle school must begin in elementary school. The Clearing House, 75(5), 242-245.

Isnt restorative practice just another way to assign consequences?Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201522

PunishmentYou need to know your ABCs:Antecedent.Behavior.Consequence.Punishment involves providing a consequence that reduces the future probability of a behavior:Consequence.Reduced probability.We also know that teaching a replacement behavior puts the old behavior on extinction:Make the problem behavior irrelevant, inefficient and ineffective.ONeill et al., 2014Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201523

Consider Exclusionary Consequences as a form of Time OutTime-out refers to a behavior managementprocedure in which the student is separated from other students for a limited period in a setting:that is not locked; and,from which the student is not physically prevented from leaving.Goals of the timeout procedure:to provide a student with an opportunity to regain self-control.to reduce the future probability of problem behavior in the time in setting (this meets the correct definition of punishment).In this frame, any form of exclusionary discipline can be considered time out.

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201524

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D.Time out and passroom guidelines

Always take data to monitor effectiveness:Start/stop/duration.Staff person name.Behavior.

What we know about PBIS EffectivenessEvaluation reports, single-case studies, and a series of randomized control trials have demonstrated that implementation of SWPBIS is related to:reduction in problem behavior.Racial/ethnic gaps remain (Skiba et al., 2014) http://aer.sagepub.com/content/early/2014/06/24/0002831214541670 improved academic performance.improved perception of school safety.improved staff retention.improved organizational health of schools.reduction in bullying behaviors.increased social emotional competence of students.Horner, Sugai, & Anderson, 2010). There is relatively strong evidence that direct instruction of behavior school-wide, in small groups and individually within a function-based behavior plan has a positive impact on problem behavior. Dunlap, Iovannone, Wilson, Kincaid, & Strain, 2010; Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201527

A new move?We need to address the root causes of behaviors that lead to suspension and expulsion and provide alternative disciplinary actions:These practices might be called restorative practice, adapted from the concepts and practices of balanced and restorative justice commonly used in juvenile and adult corrections and treatment programs.

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201528

what happened, who is to blame, what punishment or sanction is needed?The easiest consequence is the one most likely to be delivered.What happened, what harm has resulted and what needs to happen to make things right? (OConnell, 2004)A restorative process will initially be viewed as more effortful.Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201529

Alongside a general interest in restorative justice, attention has turned to the adaptation of restorative justice practices in educational settings. Restorative justice seeks to provide a much clearer framework for restitution.Offenses can result in sanctions but, The relationship damaged by the offense is the priority.This damaged relationship can and should be repaired.The offending individual can and should be reintegrated, not only for the good of that individual but also for that of the community as a whole. Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201530

Why focus on relationshipsand community?Positive and trusting relationships among all individuals in a classroom:are a prerequisite to classroom community. build the social capital necessary for positive collaboration.Students who perceive themselves a having ownership in a classroom community tend to: comply with classroom rules more readily.be more motivated to complete assigned tasks.be more resilient against negative peer influences. and community building is communication. Greater student compliance and motivation translate into less time spent on discipline issues and more time spent on teaching and learning.The key to relationships.

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201531

Voice over:

Relationships between teachers and students as well as among peers are the cornerstone of a positive classroom climate. Studies have shown that students who perceive themselves as valued members of a classroom community are more likely to follow classroom rules, complete assigned tasks, and are also more resistant to negative peer influences.

Because communication is key to relationship and community building, the 5 practices we will explore focus on how to communicate with students so that they develop a sense of ownership of and responsibility for their school community.31

Restorative Practices

Rather than simply punishing (i.e., excluding) those who have caused harm, restorative practices hold students accountable for their actions by involving them in faceto face encounters with thepeople they have harmed.

Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201532

Restorative PracticesRestorative practices used in schools is where:Staff members and pupils act towards each other in a helpful and nonjudgmental way;Adults and students work to understand the impact of their actions on others;There are fair processes that allow everyone to learn from any harm that may have been done;Responses to difficult behavior have positive outcomes for everyone.Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201533

Student Experience and BehaviorThe Importance of Relationships:Social Capital.Procedural Justice.Institutional Betrayal.Biosocial Stress.Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D. APBS Webinar 201541

Student Experience and BehaviorSocial Capital:Students relationships with each other, teachers, administrators, and the school itself.My school is a good place to go.I care about what the other students at my school think of my actions.I have almost no influence over what my school is like.Increases in levels of social capital are associated with increasing motivation to behave appropriately and declines in discipline issues.Erik J.

Student Experience and BehaviorProcedural Justice:Students perceptions that the schools discipline policies and practices are fair, even if the student does not like the particular outcomes.My teachers treat me with respect.When my teachers make mistakes they are able to recognize them.My teachers give me the chance to put forward my own points of view before making a decision about me.Increases in levels of procedural justice are associated with students taking responsibility for their actions and declines in behavioral issues.

Student Experience and BehaviorInstitutional Betrayal:Students perception that, when something happened to them (e.g., bullying, harassment), the schools response made it worse.teachers, staff, or administrators at your school played a role in the bullying or harassment by:Not taking proactive steps to prevent this type of experience.Responding inadequately to the experience, if reported.Creating an environment where continued membership in the school community was difficult for you.Decreasing levels of perceptions of institutional betrayal increases student engagement in school.

Voice over

Many teachers are concerned about the amount of time it takes to implement restorative discipline practices. For example, proactive circles sound so time intensive, that you probably ask yourself: Where do I find the minutes to do this?

Many restorative practices are comparable to the time it takes to implement standard PBIS practices. For example, the time spent on teaching students the school-wide or classroom expectations at the beginning of the academic year through various activities could be used to conduct a proactive circle. The time it takes to deliver a behavior-specific praise statement can be used to deliver an affective statement.

While some restorative practices might take a bit more time, they are intended to save time in the long run. Students who value their relationships with the teacher and their peers, who feel a sense of ownership in their classroom are much less likely to engage in inappropriate behavior repeatedly.

48

Research base supporting restorative practices:Higher levels of social capital have been associated with rule compliance (Hoy & Weinstein, 2006).Absence of social capital has been associated with reluctance to comply with rules (Gouveia-Pereira et al., 2003; Sanches et al., 2012).High sense of procedural justice has been associated with greater willingness to accept and learn from punitive consequences (Tyler & Blader, 2003).Low sense of procedural justice has been associated with greater engagement in deviant behavior and poorer academic performance (Gouveia-Pereira et al., 2003; Sanches et al., 2012). Low sense of institutional support has been associated with alienation from the institution, increased anxiety, poorer health outcomes and re-victimization (Smith, Gomez, & Freyd, 2014).49Erik J. Girvan, Claudia Vincent, Jeffrey Sprague, Heather McClure and Tary TobinUniversity of OregonJohn InglishOregon Department of EducationTim McCabeCenter for Dialogue & Resolution

Evidence base linking restorative practices to greater disciplinary equityVulnerable students affected by inequitable discipline outcomes:Students from non-White backgrounds, especially Black, Latino, and Native American students.Students who identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, or questioning.Students with a disability.

Vulnerable students identify positive and trusting relationships with their teachers and peers and caring teachers as the most important contributor to their school success 50Erik J. Girvan, Claudia Vincent, Jeffrey Sprague, Heather McClure and Tary TobinUniversity of OregonJohn InglishOregon Department of EducationTim McCabeCenter for Dialogue & Resolution

Evidence base linking restorative practicesto greater disciplinary equityIn small-scale or case studies, schools implementing restorative practices have documented:Reduced disciplinary disparities across students from various racial/ethnic backgrounds (Dravery et al., 2006; Gregory et al., 2014; Simson, 2012).Improved student perceptions of the classroom as a safe place to share problems (Morrison & Martinez, 2001).Improved teacher-student relationships (DeWitt & DeWitt, 2012).Improved peer relationships (McCarthy, 2009).It appears that relationship building might serve as a conduit towards improved disciplinary equity.51Erik J.
