Positive Behavior Support:School-Wide Reinforcement Systems March 8th, 2010 with Patty Parnell / ODE PBS Initiative
Today, you’ll leave with: • A clear understanding of how the use of positives shapes behavior… • Why… • What… • How…
RECOGNITION SYSTEM … often the most challenging conversation of all… ‘the use of positives to shape behavior’.
BOTTOM-LINE… • In business, relationship and educational literature/research, positives effectively shape behavior. • They can be used poorly and/or have adverse effects if we don’t keep the end in mind.
Primary Errors Involve: • Providing rewards without being clear about the behavior being rewarded. • Inadvertently providing rewards for problem behavior. • Providing large rewards and suddenly, rather than gradually, withdrawing them. • Providing rewards so infrequently that aren’t connected to behavior and/or building fluency.
The Use of Positives… • Setting the environment • Recognize behaviors you want repeated • Initiate new behaviors
JIGSAW ACTIVITY: • Gather in groups of five - • Read your section of the hand-out - • Summarize your section to your table group - • Share insights with full group -
Designing your feedback system for effectiveness & efficiency: • Who gets recognized? • What about fading? • Can responses be multiplied?
Ideas for implementation • Start with where there is agreement • Address resistance • Influence with information, rationale, benefits instead of power
