  19. What to Say? • Avoid general praise. • Instead of “Great job”, say, “Great job of staying in your seat today.” • Be specific. • Point out what they’re doing right. Say, “Thanks for talking quietly today.”

  20. How Can We Recognize Drivers?? They love… • School lanyards • Appreciation from teachers, admin. • Coffee • Special lunch with students or staff • Notes from students

  21. Greetings Initiating the interaction tells the student that you are in control

  22. Provide Continual Supervision • Scan the bus • As safety permits, scan as students get on or off the bus

  23. CORRECTIVE CONSEQUENCES • Eye Contact • Verbal Prompt • Hand Signal • Re-teaching • Modeling

  24. Use Consequences Calmly, Consistently, and Immediately • Avoid emotional reactions • Consistency reduces the need for students to test the limit • Solving small problems initially stops them from becoming bigger problems

  25. Reporting Problem Behavior • Consult with your administrator about forms and procedures • Encourage drivers to keep track of “minor” issues • Report “major” problems • Encourage drivers to listen to students who report problem behavior

  26. PBIS IN THE NEWS Provide PBIS updates and news in your district’s transportation newsletters
