8. Why do schools need to do this? Some intriguing facts…

9. Why do schools need to do this? Historically, schools have tried to “control” students with punishment. Punishment is a reactive strategy (misbehavior has to happen first). Reactive strategies require educators to use negative and exclusionary practices. Exclusionary practices (time-out, removal from class, ISS, OSS, etc.) remove students from instructional contact. Reactive practices don’t work to prevent studentmisbehavior and often don’t work to stop inappropriate behavior.

11. Why do schools need to do this? Instead of using punishment as a method of changing behavior, PBS schools focus on preventingmisbehavior. Students who misbehave will still receive consequences; consequences however will match the misbehavior. There will be a greater focus on teaching students the expected behaviors and then encouraging those by acknowledging students who make good choices.

14. Why do schools need to do this? • Rewards and acknowledgement are natural. In the real world, everyone works for something. Adults work for recognition and money. • Students enjoy being recognized for the good job they are doing. • Acknowledging students more often when they do something well or right than when they misbehave leads to more students behaving well.

16. Why do schools need to do this? PBIS schools define behavioral expectations for all areas of the school and then teach them to all students. Because PBIS is for all students in all school settings, everyone benefits from using a common language to define expectations. Because less time is spent on punishing and correcting, there is more time to teach academics. Nationally and in OC, there is data to show that schools using PBIS have higher academic scores

19. Why do schools need to do this? Research tells us that the rate of behavior is matched to the rate of reinforcement. Punishment is also “reinforcing” for some of our students and can actually lead to increases in their inappropriate behaviors.

21. Why do schools need to do this? Schools that focus more on recognizing appropriate behavior see increases in students making good choices and a reduction in students demonstrating inappropriate behaviors. Nationally and in OC, there is data that indicates reductions in office referrals as well as reductions in suspensions in schools implementing PBIS.
