Narrative Guidelines
• Recommend 1,000 words or less• Share information about the impact SW-PBS
has made in improving the culture and climate in your building
• Address the topics in the order given on Narrative guidelines (p. 3) of packet
• Share what is unique about SW-PBS in your school
Systems• “We have a representative from every grade level on our SW-PBS
team. We have two co-chairs for the team and the support of our building principal as well as SOS (our parent organization). SW-PBS information is given to all staff throughout the year. . . . Parents are given a copy of the matrix at the beginning of the year as well as reminders and information in monthly parent newsletters from the principal.”
• “When we meet, we stay focused on our agenda to realize our goals. Our group leaves each meeting with individual tasks that will enhance the implementation of PBIS in our school. . . . . Our team represents all grade levels; one of our members is an ELL teacher and the support staff is represented as well. . . . The minutes of each meeting are e-mailed to the staff a day or two after each meeting.”
Data• “We use monthly Big 5 behavior referral data to analyze
problem behaviors. We use this information to create new lessons and identify students that may need to be brought to our PST (problem solving team). . . . We share our data with all staff during PLC meetings. SW-PBS data/information is shared with parents in the monthly parent newsletter from the principal. We are consistently comparing data to previous years.”
• “Our principal attends the monthly meetings and keeps track of the data. He records data and passes the results on to the team and staff. . . . He always includes PBIS on the agenda for the monthly staff meeting.”
• We utilize the results from the following surveys and reports to better make decisions…..
Practices• “We use the first 6 weeks of school to teach all of the
expectations on the matrix. Teachers are given a time frame in which to teach each expectation so the principal can do fidelity checks and make sure that the lessons are being taught.”
• “Some practices that have had a positive impact on students are tiger tickets, booster lessons, students used as good examples on our Tiger Brag board, a SW-PBS recess book that includes expectations for recess as well as pictures of students showing those expectations, and a consistent use of the matrix by all staff.”
Unique Features• “SW-PBS has influenced the school’s climate in a positive way
as all teachers have common expectations, rewards, and consequences. Students know what to expect no matter where they are in the building or what staff member is in charge.”
• “One hurdle we had to overcome was a lack of funding. . . . We developed a list of rewards that could be obtained by students that did not require additional funds.”
• “Our culture is unique as we work with and educate students from other cultures. . . . SW-PBIS has effected our school community by making it just that – a community.”
