Positive Behavior Support 2013-2014(PBS) North Miami Middle School Respectful Organized Achieving Responsible
ROAR • Respectful • Organized • Achieving • Responsible
We can’t assume … • Students know the expectations/rules and appropriate ways to behave • Students will learn appropriate behaviors quickly and effectively without consistent practice and modeling
We can assume … • Students will require different curricula, instructional modalities, etc… to learn appropriate behavior • We need to teach expectations/rules and appropriate behaviors as effectively as we teach academic skills
Behavior is learned, it CAN be changed and new behavior CAN be taught.“I can, therefore I will”
Simple Definition of PBS… The application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures.
In other words… • We will build • effective, sustaining positive school environments • improve school climate and safety • prevent problem behaviors from occurring and/or reoccurring • instruct and reinforce appropriate behaviors through teaching, modeling, embedding, sharing, reminding, practicing, recognizing, and reinforcing in the classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, and school grounds
In other words… • increase instructional time and academic performance to all students in all settings • develop and strengthen teachers’ abilities to effectively address students’ problem behavior • ultimately produce meaningful and sustainable behavior and lifestyle outcomes
School-wide PBS… • A collaborative, assessment-based process to developing effective interventions for problem behavior • Emphasizes the use of proactive, educative, and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes • Aim is to build functional, effective environments in which appropriate behavior is more effective than problem behavior
School-wide PBS… • Rules and Expectations • Policies and Procedures • Monitoring and Recording • Rewards and Incentives
