Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports

1. Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports Overview of Proactive Support Strategies Module 1 2004 – Revised July 2010

2. BIP Safe Schools Why Are We Here? • School Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (SW-PBIS) • Problem Solving Model (PSM) Implementation Grades K-8 • Safe Schools • PBIS Intensive Tier Processes Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA), Behavioral Intervention (BIP), Manifestation Determination (MD) & Short-Term Suspension Analysis (ST-SA) Processes • Data Collection FBA PSM SW – PBIS MD Data Collection ST-SA

3. What is“Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports”? PBIS focuses on PROACTIVE support strategies that reduce the likelihood of problem behavior and allows individual students to be as independent and successful as possible in the school setting. It encompasses a range of strategies from systemic to individual supports.

4. Major Rationales for Use of Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports Strategies • Schools will continue to see more kids who • engage in problem behaviors. • The strategy of exclusion typically has been • ineffective and will become increasingly more • problematic to use • Schools need to increase the use of special • education practices in general education to • assist in proactively addressing problem • behaviors • Schools will be implementing “Problem • Solving Model” (PSM) processes

5. Is this your idea of “Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports”? “John, you skipped school the last 2 days. Our school policy for skipping is to suspend you for a day.” “Bob, if it is attention you want let’s just go see the principal.” “Mary, if you are not going to do your work then we will just have to take your book.”

8. Intensive Interventions -individualized strategies supporting students with high risk behaviors PBIS Continuum 5% Universal Interventions – proactive strategies supporting all students 15% Targeted Interventions –specialized strategies supporting students with at risk behaviors 80% of Students
