There is a proverb which says, “If you’ve told a child 100 times to do something and they don’t do it…it isn’t the child that is a slow learner.”
Reviewing Components of School Wide Discipline Plan
• Encouraging Appropriate Behaviors
• Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior
Negative consequences…
• are delivered to:– Provide immediate feedback that behavior is
unacceptable– Increase likelihood behavior will NOT BE
repeated, i.e. punished.
Key to Using Negative Consequences
No Silver bullet!
Rather
MILD CONSEQUENCES
CONSISTENTLY delivered
Systems capacity for use of negative consequences
• Have a clear line between what problem behavior is handled by staff/faculty vs. administration & what consequences may be used in what situations
• Ensure familiarity for delivering consequences and referrals to office
• Have a continuum of consequences for the classroom & other settings, and for administration
• Clarify consequences for actions up front with students and families
General guidelines for negative consequences
• Mild consequences consistently delivered • Deliver consequences as soon after the
infraction as possible• Maintain students respect and dignity when
administering a consequence• Try to keep it relevant to the infraction• Ratio of positive to negative consequences
should be at least 4:1
Examples of negative consequences
• Loss of teacher attention and approval• Loss of privilege• Time out or removal from activity• Re-teaching after school (detention with
skill acquisition)• Restitution or make-up service help• Parent contact and conference• Change in seating
Procedures for Using Negative Consequences
• Deliver negative consequences following occurrence of problem behavior
• Consequences should be mild• More serious consequences usually
delivered by administration• Follow negative consequences with
positive consequences at earliest appropriate opportunity (“fair pair”)
Procedures for discouraging inappropriate behaviors (System)
• Office vs. Classroom managed – Are distinctions clear?– Do administration and staff need to create a
list? If list already exists, does staff agree?– Are appropriate administrators dealing with
office managed discipline? (Not Counselors, SW’s or Psychologists)
– Does staff feel supported?– Is there a clear flow chart to follow for
misbehavior?
Procedures for discouraging inappropriate behaviors Cont…
• Review behavioral consequences– Should be continuum of responses
• The smallest effort to achieve the greatest effect
– Are we inadvertently reinforcing the inappropriate behaviors for students and staff?• Track who is using consequences/options
– Are consequences having no effect?• Repeat offenders
– Do you need to address behaviors with targeted interventions or wraparound services? (intensive)
PROGRESSIVE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES
Dr. Randy Sprick lists two criteria for evaluating progressive negative consequence sytems:
•Does it treat the child with dignity and respect?
•Does it work?
What we can learn:
•Ignoring the expectations or rules leads to confusion
•The wrong behavior becomes the norm
•If you’re not consistent, kids will think you are out to get them (Take personally)
•You must correct kids every time
•It is crucial to recognize the behavior we do want
Guiding Principles
• Natural consequences are varied, unpredictable, undependable,…not preventive
• “Knowing” or saying “know” does NOT mean “will do”
• Students “do more” when “doing works”…appropriate & inappropriate
Concerns with using “big hammer” consequences
• There is no “Silver Bullet,” no one consequence will work for all kids
• Only using “big hammer” consequences shows no degrees of violation
• They can set the stage for escalation• Staff can be reluctant to use them• Do not take away an earned reinforcement• Remember that punishment, like beauty, is in
the eye of the beholder
Use classroom consequences

School Tools
Does the student have 3-5 incidents in the
same quarter?

Management Process
Team Time - Consequences
• Examine your current continuum of consequences
• Use data to determine what consequences are working and are not working
• Review what behavior is classroom (and setting) managed vs. office managed
• What consequences are the staff empowered to use?
Correct Behavioral Errors
• Are you using reteaching, reminding (precorrecting) and other prompts to clarify and refresh on expectations not met?
• Have you established a continuum of consequences and feature ones that are mild and can be consistently delivered?
• Are you using your data to gauge effectiveness of corrective measures?
“Can you tell me which way to go from here?”, asked Alice of the Cheshire Cat.
“That depends a great deal on where you want to get to”, said the Cat.
“I don’t really know where I want to get to” replied Alice.
“Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go” said the Cat.

Steps of Data Collection, Analysis, and Use
Identify sources of information and data
– Office discipline referrals– Attendance, tardies– Detentions, in-school-suspensions, out-of-school
suspensions, expulsions– Academic performance (class work, homework,
grades, classroom tests, state test results) – EBS/PBIS survey– Reinforcers issued
Data
Data Collection, Analysis, and Use(SYSTEM)
Summarize/Organize DataNumber of Office Discipline Referrals By:• “The Big 5 Graphs”
– Number per day per month per 100 students– Time of day– Type of Behavior– Location– Student
• “Additional Graphs”– Day of week– Type of Consequence– Number of Reinforcers– Teacher
Reviewing your ODR FormNecessary
• Student name, grade• Referring staff• Date, time, location• Problem behavior &
operational definitions for problem behaviors
• Others involved• Administrative
decision
Your Choice• Possible motivation• Comments• Follow up comments• Primary teacher• Parent

Data-based Action Planning Process
1. Use Team • Ask Questions• Examine Assumptions• Form Hypotheses
2. Identify data sources3. Collect data4. Organize and summarize data5. Analyze data6. Build & implement action plan based on
data
Data for Decision-making: Guiding Questions
1. Do you have an ODR data collection system?– If not use excel!
2. Do you have easy access to the data?3. Are you collecting survey data?4. Are you looking at grades, attendance, tardies?5. Are you presenting the data to staff?6. Are you using data to make decisions?
Who has data here today??
Analyze Data – Build Action Plan
Continual Data AnalysisIdentify areas of strength and progress Identify areas for problem-solving and planning
Build action plan based on data trends
Teaching issue? (boosters needed, re-teaching) Recognition/feedback schedule? (frequency, intensity)Type of recognition/feedback (tangible, verbal)Real root/function of the problem identified?
DATA AND PROBLEM SOLVING
• A look at your current issues
• What does the data tell us?
• What improvements do we want to focus on?
• Where do we go from here?
1. Focus on School-wide system when…
• >40% of students received 1 or more ODR; • >2.5 ODR’s per student
Action to Take:Modify universal/school-wide interventions to improve effectiveness of the overall system.
– Effective teaching of expectations– Increased use if pre-correction– Enhanced consistency with reinforcing expected behavior
2. Focus on Classroom system when…
• >60% of referrals come from classroom• >50% of ODRs come from <10% of classrooms
Action to Take:• Enhance universal and/or targeted classroom
management systems and practices.– Examine academic engagement & success– Teach, pre-correct for, & positively recognize
expected classroom behavior & routines– Consider mentor teachers, administrative support,
family volunteers, classroom management training
3. Focus on Non-classroom systems when…
• >35% of ODRs come from non-classroom settings
• >15% of all students referred are from non-classroom settings
Action to Take:• Enhance universal behavior management practices in specific
non-classroom settings.– teach, pre-correct for, & positively reinforce expected behavior &
routines
– increase active supervision (move, scan, interact)
4. Targeted group interventions if…
• >10-15 students receive >5 ODR
Action to Take:• Provide functional assessment-based, but
group-based targeted interventions– Standardize & increase daily monitoring,
opportunities & frequency of positive reinforcement
5. Individualized action team if...
• <10 students with >10 ODR• <10 students continue rate of referrals after
receiving targeted group support
Action to Take:• Provide highly individualized functional-
assessment-based behavior support planning
Establishing an Action/Evaluation Plan
• Develop evaluation/action questions– What do you want to know?
• Why are there so many injuries on the playground?
• Will a bus PBIS plan change bus referrals?
• Identify indicators for answering each question– What information can be collected?
• Nurse visits, accident reports, ODRs• Bus referrals, bus driver observation
Start with Questions & Outcomes!
• Use data to verify/justify/prioritize• Describe in measurable terms• Specify realistic & achievable criterion for
success• Develop methods & schedules for collecting &
analyzing indicators– How & when should this information be gathered?
• Make decisions from analysis information– What is the answer for the question?
7 Basic Evaluation Questions
1. What does “it” look like now?2. Are we satisfied with how “it” looks?3. What would we like “it” to look like?4. What would we need to do to make “it” look like
that?5. How would we know if we’ve been successful
with “it”?6. What can we do to keep “it” like that?7. What can we do to make “it” more efficient &
durable?
Guidelines: To greatest extent possible….
Use available data Make data collection easy (<1% of staff time) Develop relevant questions Display data in efficient ways Develop regular & frequent schedule/routine for
data review & decision making Utilize multiple data types & sources Establish clarity about office v. staff managed
behavior Invest in local expertise
Excel Office Referral Data System
• Free.
•Can help track student referral data
• Excel is a spreadsheet not database
• Codes must be strictly adhered to or you will loose data. Blanks or typos can loose data as well. You must perform checks to keep data clean.
School Report Cards
• http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/irts/reportcard/ – Choose a School Year– Scroll down to Finding a School Report Card
Choose one of the following and find your school:
– NY State County Map – NY State County List (in Alphabetical Order) – NY State School List (in Alphabetical Order)
Conclusion
• Data are good…but only as good as systems in place for– PBIS– Collecting & Summarizing– Analyzing– Decision making, action planning, & sustained
implementation
SharingWhere is your team with:
• Data Collection
• Data Analysis
• Using Data For Decision Making
10 minutes
Team Time - Data
• Office Discipline Referral Form – does it contain all needed information? What is missing? What needs to be changed?
• What is our current data collection system? Does it have the capacity to provide graphs and charts for the “Big 5” plus other areas we need?
• Do we have a clear definition of infractions? Is there a clear definition of what behaviors are classroom managed vs. office managed?
• Are we using the EBS survey? Discuss plans for involving staff in survey.
