Laurel Ledge School P.B.I.S Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Strategies Implemented • Full implementation of P.B.I.S. began in August 2012. • In order to prepare for full implementation of P.B.I.S. • We determined our three school-wide expectations (Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe). • A behavior purpose statement was developed-At Laurel Ledge School, we treat each other with respect, take responsibility for our learning, and strive for a safe and positive school for all. • A school-wide matrix which outlines our three school-wide expectations, and details how these three expectations should be followed across all environments in the schoolwas created. • Lesson plans were created to help support our staff in explicitly teaching these expectations to our students. • We developed ways to reinforce students following the three school-wide expectations. (green tickets/reward menus)
Strategies Implemented • We also developed a way to acknowledge staff members (morale boosters/”Caught Being Good” bulletin board. • Reflection forms were created in order to help students reflect on the choice they made. • Office referral forms were developed to track minor/major behaviors in SWIS. • A flow chart was created to assist staff in following the proper protocol when working with students exhibiting minor/major behaviors. • A “Defining Behaviors” form was made in order to help staff determine how behaviors should be categorized-warning/re-teach/minor/major. • Once we had full implementation of all our Tier 1 strategies/supports, we began strengthening our Tier 2 supports and services by developing a Tier 2 manual, as well as check-in/check-out for students who required further intervention.
Lesson Learned/Next Steps A preventative, positive approach to discipline works! The data speaks for itself! • Our next steps include: • Continue to analyze SWIS data in order to determine the needs of our students. • Continue training staff (including new staff/cafeteria aides, etc.) in order to maintain P.B.I.S. throughout our school. • Continue focused training for cafeteria aides in order to lessen the number of referrals made during recess/lunch. • Continue to strengthen Tiered supports at all three Tiers.
