Schoolwide PBIS

1
School-wide PBIS
Based on the work of Drs. Sugai Horner
www.pbis.org
2
Questions You Have

• What is working and what do we need to tweak
  (within your buildings)
• Gotchas at the junior high/middle school level
  (specifically verbiage and necessity)
• Office Discipline Referrals (bring a blank
  referral form)
• Data Based Decisions (bring the same data you had
  with you on the 28th)
• Rolling out to Staff
• Rolling out to Parents
• Community Involvement

3
Student Gotchas and Incentives
4
Encouraging Expected Behaviors Rewards/Acknowle
dgements

• Concerns
• Unfair to some
• Shouldnt work/behave for things
• Discourages development of intrinsic motivation
• Not all kids need rewards
• Kids should know what to do

5
Encouraging Expected Behaviors Purpose of
Rewards/ Acknowledgements

• Teach new behaviors
• Encourage/establish infrequent and non-fluent
  behavior
• Strengthen replacement behaviors that compete
  with habitual undesirable behavior

6
Encouraging Expected Behaviors Positive
reinforcement

• Over time, reinforcement moves from
• Tangible to social
• External to internal
• Frequent to infrequent
• Predictable to unpredictable

7
Encouraging Expected Behaviors Important
Considerations

• Adequacy of incentives
• Likelihood a given student will be acknowledged.
• Likelihood that those who need it most believe
  theres a chance they can achieve long-term
  goals/rewards.
• Potential pitfalls of a response cost system
• Students perceived risk of losing what theyve
  earned.
• Getting too far in the hole to dig your way out.

8
Acknowledgements Caught Ya Being Good!

• Additional Benefits-
• Creates a permanent product (record) useful as
  data reflecting staff behavior and student
  behavior change.
• Increases options for reinforcing students
  school-wide. Useful as tokens that can
  accumulate and be cashed in later for
  events/activities/items.

9
Caught Ya! Acknowledgements IDEAS

• Caught Yas! can be used like tokens. Students
  accumulate and then exchange them at a later time
  for privileges/items.
• Admittance to special events
• discounted school supplies
• computer time
• teacher helper time
• privilege to choose special seat (or rent the
  teacher chair)
• permission to choose the story/song, line
  leader...

10
Program

• We have a free program you can download that you
  can keep track of gotchas for each classroom.

11
Do acknowledgements like the Caught Ya! really
make a difference?

• See for yourself.

12
Talladega School Positive Referrals
Note The 2002 implementation of acknowledging
positive behaviors coincided with a 62 reduction
in ODRs
13
District-wide Caught Ya! Data

• Seven Middle Schools set out to improve
  school-wide discipline at the same time in August
  of 2003.
• Their version of Caught Ya! Was called
  Gotcha(Same acknowledgement programjust a
  different name. However, they did not begin their
  gotcha programs at the same time.
• Data indicate that instituting a gotcha program
  had significant results on decreasing office
  discipline referrals.

The quickest way to change behavior.in anyone.
Research indicates that you can improve behavior
by 80 just by pointing out what someone is
doing correctly.
Point out what they are doing right..........
22
Time to Work

• Adult Gotchas

• Student Gotchas

• How will you reward the adults in the building
  for giving out gotchas?
• Will you give adult gotchas to each other?
• Will students give gotchas to adults?
• Will you send home gotchas to parents?
• How will you get parents involved?

• What will your gotchas look like?
• What will they do with them?
• Drawings
• Points (menu)
• Both????
• Remember some children can wait a few weeks for
  a reward and some cant.

23
Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior

• Even though we will see a decrease in office
  discipline referrals
• We will still have frequent flyers
• How will you discourage inappropriate behavior?

24
Fern Ridge Middle School 1994-95

• Total Enrollment 530 (grades 6, 7 and 8)
• Total Office Discipline Referrals 2628
• 4.95 office referrals per student.
• 304 students (57) with 1 or more referrals
• 34 students (6) with 20 or more referrals
• Students with 20 referrals accounted for 52 of
  all referrals.

25
Discouraging Problem Behaviors
Distinguishing Office versus Classroom
Managed Offenses

• Example

• Weapon
• Drugs
• Fighting
• Sexual Harassment
• Repeated Violation of minor offenses

• Classroom-managed Offenses
• Tardy
• Homework
• Lacking Supplies
• Inappropriate Comments
• Failure to follow directions

26
Discouraging Problem Behaviors Establish
functional office referral procedures

• When discouraging problem behavior
• Consider the function of problem behavior
• Pre-correct predictable problem contexts
• Shape toward more appropriate responses
  contexts
• Positively reinforce expected behavior
• Provide continuum of negative consequences for
  rule violations

27
Possible Functions

• Positive Reinforcement
• Social attention
• Access to materials
• Sensory Stimulation

• Negative Reinforcement
• Escape from
• Activities
• People
• Sensory
• Pain

Discouraging Problem Behaviors Student
Suspension

• BEFORE SUSPENSION ask yourself
• Is this suspension a consequence intended to
  decrease future problem behaviors?
• Is the purpose of this suspension to give the
  teacher/school a break from the student?

29
Data-based decision making
30
Most Important

• You must have clear distinctions between problem
  behaviors that are staff-managed versus those
  that warrant an office discipline referral.

31
What do you need on your ODR?

• Possible motivation
• Others involved
• Administrative decision
• Other comments
• Up to 3 additional categories of your choice

• Students name
• Date
• Time of incident
• Students grade level
• Referring staff
• Teacher (optional)
• Location of incident
• Problem behavior

32
Monitoring and Evaluation

• Data
• Office Referrals (Minors majors)
• Good Behavior Office Referrals

  place for a school to use SWIS.

  be compatible with SWIS-- particularly the way
  that problem behaviors are classified. Refer to
  sample ODRs on your table.

Message

• Pupil achievements and behavior mental health
  can be influenced (for the better or worse) by
  the overall characteristics of the school.this
  means a focus on the features promoting good
  functioning at the classroom, departmental or
  whole school level.
• Rutter Maughan, 2002, pp. 470-471

81
Carnegie Council Task Force on Education of Young
Adolescents

• School systems are not responsible for meeting
  every need of their students. But when the
  need directly affects learning, the school must
  meet the challenge.

Respectful-Accountable-Dependable

• Weve developed three behavioral expectations
• Positively stated
• Easy to remember
• BRAD will remind them what they are

  settings

  way to show being RAD.

  look like in each of the areas of the school.
• Parents will be told what RAD means.
• Well teach it, model it, give the kids
  opportunity to practice it and.

95
Most Important

Kids want two things.

• To GET
• Attention from
• Adults
• Peers
• Access to materials
• Sensory Input

• To GET OUT of
• Work
• Interactions
• Sensory Overload
• Painful situations

116
How can we give kids more attention?

• By pointing out what they are doing correctly
• 4 strokes for every poke
• Teaches kids what we are looking for in behavior
• When we point out what they are doing wrong we
  are teaching others how to get our attention

117
GOTCHA Being RAD
118
Examples

• Billy Bob, I love the way you showed respect by
  taking off your hat when you entered the
  building. I am proud of you.
• Susie Mae, I love the way you showed
  accountability by bringing your signed permission
  slip back a day early. I can count on you.
• Fannie Mae, I love the way you showed
  dependability by stopping to help a
  Kindergartener who was lost. I can depend on you.

119
You dont give GOTCHAS to your own kids.

• The child will get to be an office helper for
  someone in the office and get lots of attention
  for being exemplar.
