Staff Buy-In to SW-PBIS Kevin J. Filter, Ph.D. Minnesota State University, Mankato
The good news • PBIS works • Randomized control trial evidence • Other national studies • Local evidence • PBIS is available • 15 years of PBIS • 9 years of PBIS in MN
The “other” news • PBIS requires effort from teachers/staff • Teach behavior expectations • Acknowledge appropriate behavior • Consistent use of school’s discipline procedures • In the classroom, non-classrooms settings, and with individual kids • Other things in school require effort, too • Teaching • Committees, meetings • Other initiatives
The reality • PBIS only works when implemented with fidelity • 80% overall • 80% teaching in year 1 • 80% reward system in year 2+
The BOTTOM LINE We need staff to buy-in to PBIS in order to implement with fidelity and achieve desired outcomes
What is buy-in? • A willingness to participate in the specific tasks associated with PBIS • Measured by PBIS-SIM • Teach behavior expectations • Acknowledge appropriate behavior • Consistent use of school’s discipline procedures • In the classroom, non-classrooms settings, and with individual kids
What do we know about PBIS buy-in? • Study of 1,200+ teachers/staff in MN in Spring 2012 using PBIS-SIM • Included • Cohorts 5, 7, and 8 • Elementary, Middle, and High Schools • 44.2% of schools from cohorts 5, 7, & 8 participated • Approx. 40.5% of staff in each school participated
Demographics of Respondents Gender Grade Cohort
What should we do to increase buy-in? • Assess buy-in in your school on an annual basis (PBIS-SIM) • Provide opportunities for teacher/staff input • Increase knowledge of what PBIS is and how it works • Share data • Acknowledge positive staff behavior in teaching and discipline
