Continuum of Positive Behavior Support Systems

• For Universal practices to become part of the
  climate and culture of your school
• Usually takes 1-2 years to reach that initial
  goal on the SET but may take 3-5 years for
  Universal practices / systems to become imbedded
  in your schools culture.
• Staff must be on board for change to occur.
• Staff behavior must change before student
  behavior will change.
• Administrators must hold staff accountable before
  staff student change will occur

Remember, PBS is a process!

• For while teaching will forever be in part an
  art, its foundations can and should rest on the
  sciences of human behavior.
• Gordon, DeStefano Shipman, 1985

• Quality is never an accident. It is the result
  of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent
  direction and skillful execution.
• Willa Foster

  priority, set the tone and be the leader.
• Principal must set expectations in 3 ways 1) for
  implementation, 2) for student behavior, and 3)
  for staff behavior (encourage, motivate and hold
  staff accountable).

  from administrators (especially the principal),
  PBS will NOT be as effective.

  the PBS Team.
