  1. School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports: OverviewPresented by: Milt McKenna Horner & Sugai OSEP Center on PBIS Universities of Oregon & Connecticut

  2. My Job today… To describe the “CRITICAL FEATURES” of a systems approach to Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports PBIS

  3. Coordination/ Collaboration 1999 - 2008

  4. PBIS Maryland:This is our 10th year!!

  5. So,….what is PBIS? PBIS is a broad range of systemic & individualized strategies for achieving important social & learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students. Not a specific practice or curriculum…it’s a general approach to preventing problem behavior Not new…it’s based on long history of behavioral practices & effective instructional design & strategies Not limited to any particular group of students…it’s for all students

  6. What does PBIS look like in a school? • >80% of students can tell you what is expected of them & can give behavioral examples because they have been taught, actively supervised, practiced, & acknowledged. • Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed negative. • Data- & team-based action planning & implementation are operating. • Function based behavior support is foundation for addressing problem behavior. • Administrators are active participants. • Full continuum of behavior support is available to all students.

  7. Challenge #1

  8. Challenge # 2

  9. Challenge # 3

  10. Challenge # 4

  11. Challenge # 5 Competing, Inter-related National Goals • Improve literacy, math, geography, science, etc. • Make schools safe, caring, & focused on teaching & learning • Improve student character & citizenship • Eliminate bullying • Prevent drug use • Prepare for postsecondary education • Provide a free & appropriate education for all • Prepare viable workforce • Affect rates of high risk, antisocial behavior • Leave no child behind • Etc….

  12. Challenge # 6

  13. Not enough time Too much talk…not enough action Unclear outcomes Too few priorities Too many priorities Too many opinions Multiple competing experts No experts Too many diverse perspectives Too much redundancy Done it before Never done it before Lack of clear outcomes Slow to get started Unstructured Unresolved conflicts ……… Challenges (cont.)

  14. “Worry #1“TEACHING” by Getting Tough If Russell doesn’t respond, we get TOUGHER Russell: “I hate this f____ing school, & you’re a dumbf_____.” If Russell STILL doesn’t improve, we get REAL TOUGH & enforce BOTTOM LINE! Teacher: “That is disrespectful language. I’m sending you to the office so you’ll learn never to say those words again….starting now!”

  15. Erroneous assumption that student… • Is inherently “bad” • Will learn more appropriate behavior through increased use of “aversives” • Will be better tomorrow…….

  16. Science of behavior has taught us that children…. • Are NOT born with “bad behaviors” • Do NOTlearn when presented contingent aversive consequences ……..Do learn better ways of behaving by being taught directly & receiving positive feedback…. consider function
