(SWPBS)
PBS - What is it?

• Expectations for student behavior are defined by
  school.

• Positive behaviors are publicly acknowledged.
• Problem behaviors have clear consequences.

PBS - What is it?

• Student behavior is monitored and students
  receive regular feedback.
• Effective behavioral support strategies are
  implemented at the school-wide, specific setting,
  classroom and individual student levels.
• Effective behavioral support strategies are
  designed to meet the needs of all students.

Continuum of Positive Behavior Support Systems
INTENSIVE 1-3 of students Tertiary
Prevention Specialized Individual Systems for
Students with High-Risk Behaviors

• Intensive (Tertiary)
• Long standing problems
• Multiple agency involvement
• Need strategies from all three levels

TARGETED 3 - 7 of students Secondary
Prevention Specialized Group Systems for
Students with At-Risk Behavior

• Targeted (Secondary)
• Tougher to teach
• Need both Universal and
• Targeted Strategies

UNIVERSAL 80 95 of students Primary
Prevention School wide systems for all
students, staff and settings. Classroom system
designed by the individual teacher (classroom
management plan).

• Universal (Primary)
• Must have structure at this level
• Most students will respond to this level of
  structuring for success.

12
PBS - What is it?

• At the Universal (Primary) Level attention is
  focused on creating and sustaining a level of
  support for all students that improves lifestyle
  results and makes problem behaviors less
  effective, efficient and relevant and desired
  behavior more functional.

13
Universal Practices School-wide
PBS - What is it?

• Essential Features
• Leadership A team has been identified to help
  lead this process
• (Identify your team members and tell who they
  represent)
• Expectations Defined
• School Wide Expectations - Our schools values
  regarding behavior
• Common Area policies and rules - Clearly stated
  expectations for behavior
• Student Matrix - matrix of rules for all common
  areas
• Staff Matrix supervision responsibilities for
  all common areas

14
Universal Practices School-wide
PBS - What is it?

• Essential Features (cont.)
• Expectations Taught
• Lesson plans - Procedures for teaching
  practicing expected behaviors
• Acknowledging Behavior
• School Wide Encouragement Plan - Procedures for
  encouraging expected behaviors
• Behavioral Violations
• Office Referral Process - Clearly defined Staff
  managed behavior vs. Office managed behavior.
• Supervision - (will be taught later)
• Clearly defined and implemented supervision
• Monitoring
• Data gathered to help us problem solve and
  monitor the system

15
PBS-What is it?
Universal Practices School-wide and Classroom

• For Universal practices to become part of the
  climate and culture of your school
• Usually takes 1-2 years
• Staff must be on board for change to occur
• Staff must be aware of how their behavior affects
  student behavior
• Administrators must support staff behavior in a
  way that then supports appropriate student
  behavior.

Targeted/Intensive Practices (Small
Group/Individual) comes later in the process
PBS - What is it?

• PBS Team receives training on identifying
  Targeted and Intensive students.
• PBS Team receives training on specific small
  group or individual strategies, which can
  include
• Check In / Check Out system
• Social Skills
• Self-management
• Mentors
• Peer Tutoring/Peer Network
• Using Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs)
• Individual Student Support Plans

Outcomes
PBS - What is it?
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

Outcomes

PBS - What is it?

• The whole objective of PBS is to level the
  playing field by
• Teaching students how to be civil
• Teaching staff how to be effective supervisors
  and how to use positive, proactive classroom
  management skills.
• Structuring for success
• By doing this, you will meet the needs of all
  your students universal, targeted, and
  intensive.
• When you do this, there is huge payoff!

• (Identify the Common Areas policies you have
  developed. Note it may be beneficial to give
  the staff the policies ahead of the staff
