  2. Why should I have to teach kids to be good? Why can’t I just expectgoodbehavior? They already know what they are supposed to do.

  3. In the past, school-wide discipline has “focused on reacting to student misbehavior using strategies such as reprimands, loss of privileges, office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions. However, research has shown that punishment, in the absence of positive strategies, is unsuccessful.” Being proactive is much more effective than waiting for problem behaviors to occur. (Association for Positive Behavior Support, 2011).

  4. What is PBS? School-wide PBS is an approach used by administrators, teachers and other school personnel that teaches students how to behave by acknowledging positive behavior. All students are included in Tier 1 universal interventions. In Tier 1, administrators and teachers define and teach positive social expectations. Rather than using punishment, administrators and teachers reward students for showing positive behaviors. Consequences are established and used as needed.

  9. Additional Interventions “Tier 2 of the PBIS triangle model provides additional interventions to support the smaller percentage of students who do not sufficiently respond to Tier 1 strategies.” Office referral data is used to find the locations in the school or times of the day that are especially problematic and problem-solve solutions. The data is also used to find students who are demonstrating behavior problems and provide them with more intensive instruction in social skills or replacement behaviors. (Michigan Department of Education, 2010)

  10. What is Tier 2? (Technical Assistance Center of Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports, 2011)

  11. Types of Tier 2 Interventions ● Increase opportunities for positive adult and peer attention.● Provide students access to alternate activities.● Provide specific social skills instruction.● Promote a positive relationship with an adult in the form of a school mentor.● Increase structure and stress expectations.● Provide simple behavior plans and contracts.● Increase academic and social support.● Increase opportunities for strong incentives and reinforcements.● Create a home/school partnership with consistency in home and school expectations. (Michigan Department of Education, 2010)

  12. What is Tier 3? (Technical Assistance Center of Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports, 2011)

  13. Intensive Individualized Interventions "Tier 3 of the triangle model focuses on the individual needs of students who exhibit ongoing patterns of problem behavior and typically require intensive intervention.“ “Tier 3 intervention should be consider when problem behavior is chronic, dangerous, highly disruptive, impeding learning and/or resulting in social or educational exclusion.” (Michigan Department of Education, 2010)

  14. Types of Tier 3 Interventions ● Provide students with instruction for replacement behaviors.● Provide system for individualized positive reinforcement.● Provide consequences to decrease problem behaviors.● Implement functional behavior assessments (FBA) and behavior intervention planning.FBA’s are crucial to Tier 3 and include identifying student goals, gathering data, postulating relationships between behaviors and the environment, developing and implementing a behavioral support plan and monitoring the outcomes. (Michigan Department of Education, 2010)

  15. Research shows… that effective behavior management techniques such as PBS can increase student engagement and improve academic achievement.that a critical factor in preventing school violence is having a positive relationship with a supportive adult in school. (Scheuermann & Hall, 2008)

  16. More Research A study analyzing outcomes from 2002 to 2006 in over 100 elementary schools found overall that PBS significantly improved social skills, decreased the amount of time and resources needed to address behavior problems, and resulted in higher test scores and academic achievement. A study of 22 New Hampshire schools found that after only two years of implementation, 73% of PBS schools had increased math scores on standardized tests. The schools also significantly lowered suspensions and office discipline referrals, allowing schools to recover hundreds of days of instructional time that had previously been lost to behavioral disruptions. A study conducted in Illinois found that 62% of 3rd grade students in the schools in which PBS was implemented met the Illinois State Achievement Test Reading Standard. In contrast, only 47% of students met the standard in schools that had not fully implemented PBS. (Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, n.d.)

  17. Consistency Predictability Positivity Schools that have implemented PBS have seen “decreased levels of disruptiveness, office referrals and suspensions, an increase in instructional time, and an improvement in school climate, safety and order” (Michigan Department of Education, 2010).
