New York City PBIS Technical Assistance Center Update:Adaptation, Alignment, and Integration National PBIS Leadership Forum SatishMoorthy, NYC PBIS Chicago: October, 2011
NYC PBIS Big Ideas for Today • Learn about our Progress and Expansion • Learn about our Integrative Implementation Demonstrations • Systems alignment: A Global Perspective on Implementation (Federal, State, City)
The Big Picture in the Big Apple • 9 years of PBIS in New York City • >200 schools trained (12.5% of NYC public schools) • Training at all 3 Tiers of PBIS • Success in Implementation of PBIS is dependent on INTEGRATION with District and School-based Policies and Initiatives. • Focus for 2011: Capacity building in Districts/Networks
Big 5 PBIS “Commitments” for Student Achievement (at school, city, state levels) • Commitment to Coordinated (Cross-Functional) Teams • Commitment to Capacity-Building • Commitment to Sustainability • Commitment to Policy Alignment and Coherence (INTEGRATION) • Commitment to Ongoing Progress Monitoring (FIDELITY)
School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) • Build a continuum of supports that begins with the whole school and extends to intensive, wraparound support for individual students and their families.

What is School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports? • School-wide PBIS is: • A systems framework for establishing the social culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for ALL STUDENTS.
Urban Challenges for PBIS • Poverty and Health • Disproportional Rates of Suspensions of SWD by Race/Ethnicity • How do we move from reactive approaches to the “problem”, to preventative (e.g., culturally responsive) • How can we prevent? How do we include diverse communities, within school and in our neighborhoods?
The Urban Context • NYC Population: 8,214,426 (Census Est. 2006) (42.5% of total NY State population) • Urban Population Density (2006): • NYC: 26,402 per sq. mile • Chicago: 12,750 per sq. mile • Los Angeles: 7,877 per sq. mile

Four Areas for NYC PBIS Integration 1) Response to Intervention and Universal Design for Learning (FAPE and Common Core) IDEA 2) Systems of Care and Wraparound Social Services – Safe and Drug Free Schools 3) Culturally Responsive Positive Behavioral Support Systems – Civil Rights Act 4) Bully Prevention and Safe Schools – ESEA, Safe and Drug Free Schools
Integrative PBIS Domain #1 • 1) Response to Intervention and Universal Design for Learning (FAPE and Common Core, FBA-BIP and MDR)

Integrative PBIS Domain #3 • 3) Safe and Supportive Schools - Bully Prevention
Safe and Supportive Schools Integration • In 2010: SW-PBIS is now Recommended Discipline Policy in NYC!!!
Reducing School Violence and Suspensions 2007-2009 • Of 14NYC PBIS schools cited as Persistently Dangerous by the State: • 11 showed increases in attendance • 12 showed decreases in violent incidents • 9 showed significant decreases in total suspensions • 12 were removed from the Persistently Dangerous List • Of 16 cited in 2008 by the State for Disproportional Rates of Suspensions of Students with Disabilities (SPP #4) that have been in NYS PBIS for more than a year: • 14 (or 88%) saw either significant reductions in suspensions (9) or no increase (5)
PBIS/ School Safety Implementation • Training Youth Development Staff (in charge of Safety and Suspensions) in PBIS • Half-Day Modules: • Basic Principles of ABA/ Behavior • Competing Behavior Pathway • School-wide PBIS • Youth Development Staff attend PBIS along with school-based teams
Integrative PBIS Domain #4 • 4) Culturally Responsive PBIS Systems • Addressing Disproportionality in Suspensions (SPP 4B)
Addressing Disproportionality Focus: Disproportional Rates of Long-Term Suspensions (>10 days) of Black or African-American Students with Disabilities, where Black and African American Students are more than 2 times as likely to be suspended than other students with IEPs Action: PBIS has been identified as a recommended approach to address disproportionality
Digging Deeper • Deeper analysis shows 91 schools with the highest disproportionality • Where risk of suspension of Black or African American student with disabilities is more the 2 times as likely as that of all other students with disabilities • 2.0 Relative Risk threshold is set by the State (shows over 330 schools)
PBIS/ Culturally Responsive Integration 2010-12 • Collaboration with New York University TAC for Disproportionality • 2 Levels of Intervention (Culturally Responsive Schools) • School-Based (8 schools in pilot) • Leadership training and capacity building
