North Buncombe District Advisory Council Meeting February 19, 2014
PBIS • Focuses on prevention • Focuses on instruction • Uses data to make decisions & develop appropriate curriculum • Collaborative process 6
PBIS is a school wide system that creates a positive school culture: • School environment is predictable: • Common language • Common vision (understanding of expectations) • Common experience (everyone knows) • School environment is positive: • Regular recognition for positive behavior • School environment is safe: • Violent and disruptive behavior is not tolerated • School environment is consistent: • Adults use similar expectations http://www.pbis.org/common/pbisresources/presentations/SWPBS_Intro_10_04_07.ppt#1
Tertiary Prevention : Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with Secondary Prevention High Risk Behavior Specialized Group Systems for Students with At Risk Behavior ~5% Primary Prevention School wide and ~15% Classroom wide Systems for All Students, ~ 80% of Students Staff, & Settings CONTINUUM of Positive Behavior Intervention & Support
Features of a Comprehensive System of PBIS Total staff commitment to managing behavior Clearly defined and communicated expectations and rules Clearly defined consequences for correcting rule-breaking behaviors and procedures for acknowledging appropriate behavior(s) An instructional component for teaching students expected behaviors A support plan to address the needs of students with chronic, challenging behaviors

What Does this Look Like in Schools? Video example from North Windy Ridge
Why PBIS School-Wide? • Fosters a positive school climate • Focuses staff and student attention on appropriate behaviors and success • Increases the chance that desired behaviors will be repeated • Reduces the time spent correcting misbehaviors Positive Reinforcement: Will Work for Coffee, Johns and Patrick, ppt
What are School-wide Expectations? A list of specific, positively stated behavior that is desired of all faculty and students Should be in line with the school’s mission statement and should be taught to all faculty, students, and parents 17
What Is Gained by Identifying Rules? Allows for teaching behavioral expectations in specific settings Uniform instruction across multiple programs and settings within the school Consistent communication among staff members and parents Legal, ethical, and professional accountability 18
Teaching and Reinforcing Behaviors Use your matrix to create a common language Language must be consistent in order to create consistency Otherwise, students will still have to learn many different definitions for each expectation 22
The Power of Two Letters Language is powerful That’s why we define expectations -- so we can teach what they mean Use the matrix to teach what the expectations look like using the word “by” Expectation BY Rule 26 Mascorro, 2008
School Wide Behavior Expectations Matrix Thank you for showing respect for others BY… staying on the right. Thank you for Respecting Property BY… Cleaning up after yourself. 27
Behavioral Correction “By… tells me…” Bytouching your neighbor, it tells me we should review where you are seated. By putting your hands on the walls, it tells mewe must review the hallway expectations again. 28
Corrections Help students to take responsibility for their own behavior: “What are you doing?” “What should you be doing?” “Show me.” 29
Why Develop Behavior Lesson Plans? “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we…… ……….teach?………punish?” “Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?” John Herner, Counterpoint (1998, p.2) 30
School-wide Acknowledgement Systems • Promote a safe and welcoming climate • Reinforce school-wide expectations and rules • Increase positive staff/student interactions • Prompt adults to acknowledge appropriate behaviors Positive Reinforcement: Will Work for Coffee, Johns and Patrick, ppt
Acknowledgement Guidelines • Reward demonstration of school-wide expectations • Avoid trying to motivate by withholding incentives • Avoid taking away incentives already earned • Should target all students and involve ALL staff • Keep ratios of reinforcement to correction high (4:1) (Walker, Ramsey, & Gresham, 2004) Positive Reinforcement: Will Work for Coffee, Johns and Patrick, ppt
Goals of Acknowledgement Create a learning environment where students are engaged and successful Teach, support, and encourage students to be “self-managers” Help students generalize the skills they learn in school to life experiences beyond school (Horner, 2009) 34
Just some of the ways we are acknowledged as adults Saving money on car insurance Frequent buyer cards (Jersey Mike's, Car Wash, Gym, Ingles-gas) Smiles/encouragement from friends, family, and co-workers Positive Evaluations
Acknowledging School-Wide Expectations:REINFORCERS“RATIONALE” Humans require regular & frequent feedback on their actions Humans experience frequent feedback from others, self, & environment W/o formal feedback to encourage desired behavior, other forms of feedback shape undesired behaviors
