  1. Preventing and Responding to Problem Behavior through School-wide Systems of Positive Behavior Supports (SW-PBS) Tim Lewis, Ph.D. University of Missouri OSEP Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports pbis.org

  4. Starting Point…. • We cannot “make” students learn or behave • We can create environments to increase the likelihood students learn and behave • Environments that increase the likelihood are guided by a core curriculum and implemented with consistency and fidelity

  5. School-wide Positive Behavior Support • Problem solving framework • Systematic implementation of evidence-based practices • Layers in increasingly more intensive environmental supports to increase the likelihood students are academically, emotionally, and socially successful

  6. Social Competence & Academic Achievement SW-Positive Behavior Support OUTCOMES Supporting Decision Making Supporting Staff Behavior DATA SYSTEMS PRACTICES Supporting Student Behavior

  7. Academic Systems Behavioral Systems • Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • High Intensity • Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • Intense, durable procedures • Targeted Group Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Targeted Group Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Universal Interventions • All students • Preventive, proactive • Universal Interventions • All settings, all students • Preventive, proactive Designing School-Wide Systems for Student Success 1-5% 1-5% 5-10% 5-10% 80-90% 80-90%

  9. Essential Features at the School Level • Teams of educators within the school (administrator) • Data-based decision making • Instructional Focus • Teach & Practice • Acknowledge student mastery of social skills • Positive Feedback • Readiness across Tiers (universals always a priority) • Access to on-going Technical Assistance

  10. Do Principals Make a Difference?(Richter, Lewis & Hager, 2012) • All staff rate principal leadership with respect to managing behavior as important • Statistically significant differences between SW-PBS and non-SW-PBS schools on staffs’ perceptions of: • Principals involvement related to behavior management • Overall effectiveness of behavior supports • Job satisfaction

  12. District/School Administrator Support

  13. Universal School-Wide Features • Clearly define expected behaviors (Rules) • All Settings • Classrooms • Procedures for teaching & practicing expected behaviors • Procedures for acknowledging expected behaviors • Instructional procedures for responding to problem behaviors • Procedures for data-based decision making • Family Awareness and Involvement

  20. RCT & Group Design PBIS Studies • Reduced major disciplinary infractions and aggressive behavior • Improvement in concentration, pro-social behavior, & emotional regulation • Improvements in academic achievement • Enhanced perception of organizational health & safety • Reductions in teacher reported bullying behavior & peer rejection • Improved school climate Bradshaw, C.P., Koth, C.

  21. Critical to Success = Classroom Supports

  22. Essential • Classroom expectations & rules defined and taught (all use school-wide, create classroom examples) • Procedures & routines defined and taught • Continuum of strategies to acknowledge appropriate behavior in place and used with high frequency (4:1) • Continuum of strategies to respond to inappropriate behavior in place and used per established school-wide procedure • Students are actively supervised (pre-corrects and positive feedback) • Students are given multiple opportunities to respond (OTR) to promote high rates of academic engagement • Activity sequence promotes optimal instruction time and student engaged time • Instruction is differentiated based on student need

  23. Start with Self-Assessment

  24. Challenge: How to Insure All Staff Are Using Effective Practices

  26. Classroom Systems Teach Brief in-service, single topic focus Practice (performance feedback) Peer coaching Principal “walk through” Direct observation / data collection

  27. Typical School Day 17% Direct Instruction 33% Seatwork 20% Transitions 30% Discipline & OtherNon-InstructionalActivities Cotton, 1995; Walberg, 1988 324 MO SW-PBS

  28. Discussion: Importance of expectations & behaviors? • Pair Up • 2-Minute Frenzy – Discuss: • How has clarifying schoolwide/non-classroom setting behaviors/rules impacted student behavior in our school? • Why do you think it is important to clarify classroom behaviors/rules?

  29. Activity: Classroom Rule Writing Activity Option 1 • List problem behaviors in your classroom • List replacement behavior (what we want kids to do instead) • List schoolwide expectations • Categorize rules within schoolwide expectations

  30. Using Data to Guide Classroom Supports

  31. The Beginning – Background Info. • School used a universal screening instrument in October of 2012. • Results indicated that 32.3% of students were in the at-risk or high-risk range. • Team decided to focus first efforts on implementation of Tier 1 with higher levels of fidelity.

  32. Baseline Data Collection • Classroom-Level Observations of Effective Classroom Practices • Expectations & Rules • Procedures & Routines • Encouraging Expected Behavior • Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior • Active Supervision • Opportunities to Respond • Based on data, team identified 1 practice to improve upon. Initial ratio of positive specific feedback to correctives: 1.85:1

  33. Professional Development Process & Data

  34. End of Year Outcomes • ODRs decreased by 39.41% from 2011-2012 to 2012-2013. • Minor referrals decreased by 34.8% from 2011-2012 to 2012-2013. • Classroom minor referrals decreased by 33.5% from 2011-2012 to 2012-2013.

  35. Tier II • Efficient and effective way to identify at-risk students • Screen • Data decision rules • Teacher referral • Informal assessment process to match intervention to student need • Small group Social Skill Instruction • Self-management • Academic Support • Progress Monitoring • Part of a continuum – must link to universal school-wide PBS system • District Developed Process/System

  36. Data Determine When Your SWPBS Team is Ready to Build Supports Beyond Universals

  37. Readiness for Tier 2 • SWPBS universal systems are consistently implemented with fidelity • School-wide • Non-Classroom • Classroom • SWPBS Universal System Outcomes • SET or BoQ score of 80% or higher within past 18 months • SAS: 80% of staff report that School-wide, Non-Classroom & Classroom Systems are in place

  38. Readiness for Tier 2 • SWPBS Universal System Outcomes • Data indicating 80% of students with 0-1 ODR or within national average for the school’s grade levels • Consistent use of school-wide data for making decisions as evidenced by monthly Big 5 Data Reports • System in place to collect classroom minor referrals

  39. Baseline Behavior Data Spring 57 students with 9+ Referrals 6+ Referrals 2-5 Referrals 0-1 Referral 1712 referrals

  40. Post Intensifying Tier I + Classrooms 16 Students with 9+ Referrals 6+ Referrals 2-5 Referrals 0-1 Referrals 516 Referrals

  41. Tier II Supports • Students who do not respond to classroom / informal supports (2-3 weeks) • Student brought to Tier II Team • Based on function of problem behavior and response to classroom supports, match student to Tier II intervention

  42. Tier II Supports • Check in / Check Out • Social Skill Groups • Academic Accommodations & Differentiated Instruction
