  3. PBIS Philosophy Never stop doing what works Focus on the smallest changes that will produce the largest effects on valued outcomes Make any initiative adapt to your school culture Never introduce something new without simultaneously defining what you will stop doing to create the resources for the new effort.

  4. Problem/Challenge Whenever a new initiative is introduced to a school, district/region, or state, the general approach is to “form a team/committee” to develop a plan for implementation. Although this initiative might be a worthwhile, implementation efforts often struggle because of a number of challenges: • Few resources, staff, time, etc. • Duplication of effort with other initiatives and efforts • Lack of clarity regarding purpose and outcomes • Lack of priority • Etc.

  5. Working Smarter (Not Harder) • Allows schools to identify the multiple committees within their school • Helps in identifying purposes, outcomes, target groups, and staff • Assists schools in addressing, evaluating, and restructuring committees and initiatives to address school improvement plan • Important for schools to identify that school-wide PBIS is integrated into existing committees and initiatives
