  7. Benchmarks of Quality (BOQ) The BOQ is completed by the PBIS team each spring. It helps the team identify areas of success and areas for improvement. It measures the fidelity and sustainability of PBIS practices in the school. Use the BOQ to : set yearly team and school implementation goals inform team and staff of strengths and areas of improvement include goals in each meeting agenda and incorporate in team member roles monitor progress of team and school culture throughout year (Example)

  8. Coaches’ Year at a Glance This tool of efficiency: guides the external and internal coaches with leadership tasks frames the key components for the implementation and sustainability actions of the PBIS team supports a proactive and positive school culture incorporates the use of data and a systems approach to implementing behavior and academic goals is available on the Wisconsin PBIS network website (Example)

  9. Team Agendas This tool of efficiency: provides a consistent framework for the “business” of PBIS to be accomplished gives PBIS team members and other guests the opportunity to be involved and invested in the work that has to be accomplished focuses on PBIS team goals and keeps them visible the entire year keeps track of attendance and topics of discussion easily for each meeting allows meetings to run smoothly and efficiently in order to make the most of time (Tier 1) (Tier 2)

  10. PBIS at a Glance This tool of efficiency: provides the PBIS team and entire school staff with the overview of all the PBIS activities for the school year publishesthe monthly theme, cool tools, acknowledgments, and all-school celebrations constructs the vision and road map for the PBIS team and guides the tasks to be accomplished allows grade level teams to individualize and develop their specific behavior needs around the themes and cool tools (Example)

Monthly Calendars This tool of efficiency: supports and links to PBIS at a Glance communicates the expectations for behavior and academic goals to the teaching staff provides teaching staff with the details and teaching materials for Cool Tools, acknowledgements or other resources for the month offers monthly tips to support positive behavior in the classroom and for the school culture allows grade level teams to make adjustments in the schedule or teaching methods (example)

  12. Get Organized! Determine how PBIS resources will be saved and distributed.

  13. Why Organization is Important It embodies the culture and practice of key PBIS features for the team, all staff and the students. All staff can share the work, USE the materials, and be expected to support a positive school culture. Team members and staff can expect the expected…not the unexpected. It allows all staff to plan ahead, participate in plans and bring ideas to meetings and grade level teams. The framework for academics and behavior can be linked in order to standardize the system. It saves time because the activities and the work is done thoughtfully and with purpose.

  14. Tips for Organization PBIS materials can be organized with: 3-ring binders for team members, grade level teams, key staff members, or a central location for binders a shared site on the network server a school website link emails and other communication paper copies to staff as needed NEVERassume that communication or teaching materials that are emailed to the staff are printed and used! Make it easy, accessible, and do-able.

  15. Organizing the Practice of PBIS The framework of efficiency and sustainability is supported with: consistent meeting dates and times that all team members and administrators acknowledge and respect (Example) dates and activities that are aligned with the school calendar (vacations, parent/teacher conferences, grading periods) consistent meeting formats and meeting notes that are sent to team members and staff allotted time for PBIS at each staff meeting and administrative meeting everyone having a role so that “many hands make light work” and the vision is shared by everyone As a leader and coach it is crucial to be mindful of the pulse of the team at any given week or month during the school year. It is also crucial to address the different needs and personalities of the staff as you plan and implement the activities and materials.

  16. Empower the Staff Provide a supportive and flexible framework to allow staff to adapt to specific needs.

  17. The Importance of Empowerment Empowerment increases the buy-in of PBIS. PBIS becomes “us” and“we.” It creates unity of the staff through the common language and goals for all students. Empowerment increases the involvement at all levels and of all competencies. It shares the work and the JOY of PBIS with everyone in the school. This creates the foundation for staff to collaborate and problem solve for the good of everyone. Empowerment gives permission to the staff to adapt or adjust for their grade level needs and resources.

  18. Tools for Empowerment Staff empowerment is carefully guidedwith: PBIS at a Glance monthly calendars behavior and academic goal setting for school and grade levels (example of student goals) flexibility of acknowledgements to meet grade level needs (embed practice with student planner) flexibility of schedules

  19. Just a Thought… With empowerment coaches need to: let go trust the staff gauge the pulse and monitor the culture be able to support or guide when necessary
