Team GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS: “Getting Started” Agreements Data-based Action Plan Evaluation Implementation
School-wide Positive Behavior Support Systems Classroom Setting Systems Nonclassroom Setting Systems Individual Student Systems School-wide Systems
School-wide Systems 1. Common purpose & approach to discipline 2. Clear set of positive expectations & behaviors 3. Procedures for teaching expected behavior 4. Continuum of procedures for encouraging expected behavior 5. Continuum of procedures for discouraging inappropriate behavior 6. Procedures for on-going monitoring & evaluation
Nonclassroom Setting Systems • Positive expectations & routines taught & encouraged • Active supervision by all staff • Scan, move, interact • Precorrections & reminders • Positive reinforcement
Classroom Setting Systems • Classroom-wide positive expectations taught & encouraged • Teaching classroom routines & cuestaught & encouraged • Ratio of 6-8 positive to 1 negative adult-student interaction • Active supervision • Redirections for minor, infrequent behavior errors • Frequent precorrections for chronic errors • Effective academic instruction & curriculum
Individual Student Systems • Behavioral competence at school & district levels • Function-based behavior support planning • Team- & data-based decision making • Comprehensive person-centered planning & wraparound processes • Targeted social skills & self-management instruction • Individualized instructional & curricular accommodations

Sustainability Suggestions • Maintain priority • Monitor fidelity & outcomes continuously • Keep data regular, easy, & relevant • Strive for efficiency & economy • Adopt evidence-based practices • Celebrate successes & improvement
SUSTAINABLE IMPLEMENTATION & DURABLE RESULTS THROUGH CONTINUOUS REGENERATION Continuous Self-Assessment Relevance Priority Efficacy Fidelity Valued Outcomes Effective Practices Practice Implementation Local Implementation Capacity
Sustainability Activity10 minutes • What practice is working well? • What is in place to sustain that practice? • What is being done to increase efficiency
Classroom Management Basics • Research guided • Contextualized • Theory • Explicitly taught & practiced • Teach for generalization • Academic & behavior interaction • Data-based decision making
Main Message STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Good Teaching Behavior Management Increasing District & State Competency and Capacity Investing in Outcomes, Data, Practices, and Systems
Essential Behavior & Classroom Management Practices SeeClassroom Management Self-Checklist (7r)
1. Minimize crowding & distraction Design environment to elicit appropriate behavior: • Arrange furniture to allow easy traffic flow. • Ensure adequate supervision of all areas. • Designate staff & student areas. • Seating arrangements (classrooms, cafeteria, etc.)
2. Maximize structure & predictability • Teacher routines: volunteers, communications, movement, planning, grading, etc. • Student routines: personal needs, transitions, working in groups, independent work, instruction, getting, materials, homework, etc.
3. State, teach, review & reinforce positively stated expectations • Establish behavioral expectations/rules. • Teach rules in context of routines. • Prompt or remind students of rule prior to entering natural context. • Monitor students behavior in natural context & provide specific feedback. • Evaluate effect of instruction - review data, make decisions, & follow up.
4. Provide more acknowledgements for appropriate than inappropriate behavior • Maintain at least 4 to 1 • Interact positively once every 5 minutes • Follow correction for rule violation with positive reinforcer for rule following
Reinforcement Wisdom! • “Knowing” or saying “know” does NOT mean “will do” • Students “do more” when “doing works”…appropriate & inappropriate! • Natural consequences are varied, unpredictable, undependable,…not always preventive • Err on side of being positive
5. Maximize varied opportunities to respond • Vary individual v. group responding • Vary response type • Oral, written, gestural • Increase participatory instruction • Questioning, materials
6. Maximize Active Engagement • Vary format • Written, choral, gestures • Specify observable engagements • Link engagement with outcome objectives
7. Actively & Continuously Supervise • Move • Scan • Interact • Remind/precorrect • Positively acknowledge
8. Respond to Inappropriate Behavior Quickly, Positively, & Directly • Respond efficiently • Attend to students who are displaying appropriate behavior • Follow school procedures for major problem behaviors objectively & anticipate next occurrence
9. Establish Multiple Strategies for Acknowledging Appropriate Behavior • Social, tangible, activity, etc. • Frequent v. infrequent • Predictably v. unpredictably • Immediate v. delayed
10. Generally Provide Specific Feedback for Errors & Corrects • Provide contingently • Always indicate correct behaviors • Link to context
Establishing Classroom SWPBS • Establish leadership team • Examine SW data to establish action plan • Link directly to school-wide effort • Secure agreements • Practice/review/remind continuously • Train for highest implementation fidelity • Monitor & celebrate improvement • Individualize for non-responders
Classroom Activity10 minutes • What school-wide classroom management practices are in place? • Are they proactive? Consistently implemented? • What improvements needed?
*Response class *Routine analysis *Hypothesis statement *Function Behavior Support Elements *Alternative behaviors *Competing behavior analysis *Contextual fit *Strengths, preferences, & lifestyle outcomes *Evidence-based interventions Problem Behavior Functional Assessment *Implementation support *Data plan • Team-based • Behavior competence Intervention & Support Plan *Continuous improvement *Sustainability plan Fidelity of Implementation Impact on Behavior & Lifestyle
Individual Student Basics • Establish at least one relevant & reinforcing adult (advocate) in school • Make daily contact, especially a.m. • Provide at least daily reinforcer for progress/improvement • Provide instruction that increases likelihood of academic success
Directly teach & practice specific social skills • Consider function by context • Work as team • Respond early to non-responders • Establish in-school behavioral expertise
Individual Behavior Support Activity 10 minutes • What is being done daily for individual students with behavior needs? • Who has specialized behavior knowledge in school? • Does team meet regularly?
PBIS Messages • Measurable & justifiable outcomes • On-going data-based decision making • Evidence-based practices • Systems ensuring durable, high fidelity of implementation
