Review

What is PBIS?

“…a framework or approach comprised of intervention practices and organizational systems for establishing the social culture, learning and teaching environment, and individual behavior supports needed to achieve academic and social success for all students.” (Sugai, et al, 2010, p. 13)

Data needed to Problem-Solve

Data from “bounces,” ODR, ISS, after-school detention, OSS should include information about Location Frequency Problem Behavior Motivation

Daily Behavior Report = DBR The DBR involves a brief rating of target

behavior over a specified period of time Additional examples at

http://www.interventioncentral.org/htmdocs/interventions/behavior/behrptcd.php

37Level II

ResourcesPage 9

Characteristics of DBR

The DBR involves a brief rating of target behavior over a specified period of time behavior(s) is specified rating of the behavior(s) typically occurs at least

daily obtained information is shared across individuals

(e.g., parents, teachers, students) the card is used to monitor

the effects of an intervention as a component of an intervention

(Chafouleas, Riley-Tillman & McDougal, 2002)

Potential Uses for the DBR

Increase communication As a component of an intervention package,

particularly in self-management Provide “quick” assessment of behaviors,

especially those not easily captured by other means

Monitor student behavior over time Flexible

(Chafouleas, Riley-Tillman & McDougal, 2002)

A systematic DBR possesses the following 4 characteristics:

1. The behavior of interest must be operationally defined

2. The observations should be conducted under standardized procedures

3. The DBR should be used in a specific time, place, and at a predetermined frequency

4. The data must be scored and summarized in a consistent manner

40(Chafouleas, Riley-Tillman & McDougal, 2002)

How are DBR data summarized?

DBR Considerations

Measures perception of behavior “3 to 7” not “he is a 7” No absolutes in Social Behavior Rater Effects

Data Decision Rules

Can be used by teams to determine set points where students will be referred for additional support

Can be used to determine focus of implementation

Data Decision Rule Examples

Any student that is absent more than 3 days in one month (or one 4 week period) will be referred for intervention

Any student who receives 2 or more ODRs within a 9-week period will be referred for intervention

Any student who fails one or more classes will be invited to join a small group related to classroom success

Data Decision Rule Examples

FOCUS ON...

More than 40% of students receive one or more office referrals

More than 2.5 office referrals per student

School Wide System

More than 35% of office referrals come from non-classroom settings

More than 15% of students referred from non-classroom settings

Non-Classroom System

More than 60% of office referrals come from the classroom

50% or more of office referrals come from less than 10% of classrooms

Classroom Systems

More than 10-15 students receive 5 or more office referrals

Targeted Group Interventions / Classroom Systems

Less than 10 students with 10 or more office referrals Less than 10 students continue rate of referrals after

receiving targeted group settings Small number of students destabilizing overall

functioning of school

Effective Classroom Systems

Brain-Based Learning

Students are functioning from either: Limbic System: Fight or Flight Cerebral Cortex: Analytical, Logical

Brain develops from back to front Frontal Cortex: Self-regulation, attention,

critical thinking Problem-solving, long-term planning develop

Proof that impulse control…

…and judgment develop last

Classroom Implications

Emotional responses from students = reduced reasoning, logic, ability to understand consequences

To avoid functioning in limbic mode in the classroom, students must feel Safe Wanted Successful

Perception is Reality

What is “perceived” by the brain determines the chemical response

How one interprets reality when under stress is most reflective of one’s significant life experiences Repetitive experiences reinforce synaptic

pathways

Activity: Johnny’s Story

The Chemistry of Attention

Dopamine levels decrease as focused attention time is required or enforced

Dopamine regulates emotion, movement, and thought

Research suggests 8-12 minutes of maintained attention for grades 3-7

When learners are drowsy or “out of it,” it’s likely that brain chemical levels are low

Provide ENGAGING activities:

•Physical movement•Use humor•Play music•Change location

•Drama/Storytelling•Games•Discussions •Celebrations

BONUS…physical activity triggers release of hormones that enhance neural communication, elevates mood, and assists in long-term memory formation!!

ROTATE STYLES of instruction to provide strong contrast

:•Mini-lectures•Group work•Peer feedback•Reflection

•Individual work•Team time•Computers•Student-led teaching

Use emotion to trigger attention Alert Students’ Senses Trigger Significant Memories Introduce a Sense of Novelty

Build in time for processing and rest so information has a chance to make it into long-term memory

Is School Discipline Fair?30 Years of Study

Disproportionality found based on race/ethnicity & gender in:

Office referrals Suspension & expulsion events Corporal punishment Alternative schools Inconsistently applied rules

(Skiba, 2008)

What Behaviors are StudentsReferred For By Race?

White students referred more for: Smoking Vandalism Leaving w/o permission Obscene Language

Black students referred more for: Disrespect Excessive Noise Threat Loitering

Of 32 infractions, only 8 significant differences:

(Skiba, 2008)

Other Cultural Factors

Students who receive free lunch are at increase risk for school suspension

Students whose fathers did not have a full time job were significantly more likely to be suspended

Both low and high income adolescents agreed that low income students were unfairly targeted by disciplinary practices

Skiba, Micheal, Nardo & Peterson, 2002

Acknowledge students’ differences as well as their commonalities

Validate students’ cultural identity in classroom practices and instructional materials

Educate students about the diversity of the world around them

Promote equity and mutual respect among students

Assess students’ ability and achievement validly

Foster a positive interrelationship among students, their families, the community, and school

Motivate students to become active participants in their learning

Encourage students to think critically Challenge students to strive for excellence as

defined by their potential Assist students in becoming socially and

politically conscious

OUTCOMESOUTCOMES

Secondary Practices

To correctly match appropriate intervention practices to

problem behaviors, teams will rely on the science of behavior.

Basics of Behavior

Behavior is learned Every social interaction you have with a child

teaches him/her something

Functional Perspective

Every behavior serves a purpose (…every picture tells a story …)

Every behavior’s purpose is to meet a need (either real or perceived)

The “WHY” of behavior

Discuss

How would knowing the function of problem behavior assist in developing interventions?

Brief Behavioral Assessment

Eddie’s teacher is increasingly frustrated with his outbursts. Anytime she asks Eddie to work independently or turn in assignments, Eddie talks back, yells out, gets out of his seat, or “starts something” with his classmates. Eddie’s teacher says that she has tried repeatedly to talk to him about this behavior to no avail.

Behavior Interventions

Look for opportunities to: Prevent problem behavior from occurring Teach an acceptable alternative behavior Reward a positive behavior

Behavioral Interventions ResourcesPage 15

Activity: Assess Current Support

List the Student Support Programs being offered in your school now. Decide which behavioral needs are met by each program.

Common Questions Activity

We know what you’re really thinking…

Common Questions?? Do Problem Students Deserve

Positive Attention? When I Change Interactions, Am I Giving a

Misbehaving Student Her/His Way? Is it Appropriate to Give Even More Time and

Attention to Students Who Misbehave? Won’t the Students Know The Positive Attention is

Tiered Lessons for Students with Behavioral Challenges

(Northey Waterman, 2005)

Select a Differentiated Process

Multiple Intelligences Tiered lessons based on four learning styles Flexible grouping Differentiated learning experiences

(Northey Waterman, 2005)

Multiple Intelligences

Linguistic-skits, letters, speeches

Musical-songs, ballads, commercial jingles

Kinesthetic-skits, dances, videos, talk shows

Naturalist-environment, affect, history, protection

Spatial-maps, posters, models, collages

Logical/Math-database, charts, graphic organizers

Interpersonal skills

(Northey, 2005)

Intrapersonal skills

Four Learning Styles(Northey, 2005)

Flexible Grouping

Flexible grouping helps to avoid “tracking” students at certain levels or learning styles.

Students can get to know more of their peers if they are required or inspired to become involved in group work with everyone in class at some point.

Flexible Grouping Continuum Examples

1. Foundational to transformational2. Concrete to abstract3. Simple to complex4. Single facet to multiple facets5. Small leap to great leap6. More structured to more open7. Less independent to more independent8. Slow to quick

Environmental Assessment

Physical Arrangement

Reduce congestion in high-traffic areas Ensure the teacher can easily see all students Make teaching materials and student supplies

easily accessible Make sure students can easily observe whole

class presentations Devote some display space to student work

Classroom Arrangement Considerations

What type of activities will students typically be doing?

What type of student interaction does the teacher want?

What arrangements will foster these activities and interactions?

Establish Expectations, Rules, and Routines

Establish Behavioral Expectations and Rules

Use school-wide expectations as basis for classroom rules

Clearly and positively stated State in observable terms Posted and referred to frequently Teach explicitly to FLUENCY Reinforce consistently

Establish Procedures Based on Expectations

Develop a schedule Teach an attention signal Teach routines for repetitive

tasks Use precorrects

Develop Classroom Schedule

Establish predictable schedules illustrate with icons, time, etc.

Schedule non-instruction time Evaluate the variety and time for each activity. POST

Develop A Schedule...Down Time Causes Problems

Unscheduled time in a classroom is an open invitation to disruptive behavior.

Scheduled time is one of the basic proactive variables that is under teacher control.

At least 70% of the school day should be scheduled for academic activity

Teach Attention Signal

Always use a simple portable cue Avoid starting instruction until all students are

attending Reinforce students who attend immediately Provide specific verbal praise to peers to redirect

students Consistency, consistency, consistency!

Routines

Used for transition times and basic activities that happen on a regular basis

Establish clear expectations for students and adults

PLAN, POST, and TEACH routines

Effective Routines - Rationale

The number one problem in the classroom The number one problem in the classroom is not discipline; it is the lack of procedures is not discipline; it is the lack of procedures and routines. A vast majority of the and routines. A vast majority of the behavior problems in the classroom are behavior problems in the classroom are caused by the failure of students to follow caused by the failure of students to follow procedures and routines.procedures and routines.-Harry Wong-Harry Wong

Effective Routines:Why They Help Manage Behavior

Support for transition times and basic activities that happen on a regular basis

Establish predictability Clear Expectations

for Student Behavior

Clear Expectations for Adult Behavior

Encourage Expected Behavior

Provide praise for correct academic responses and appropriate social behavior leading to:

Increases in student correct responsesIncreases in on task behaviorDecreases in disruptive behaviors

(Sutherland, 2000)

Encourage Expected Behavior: Verbal Feedback

Timely and accurate Specific and descriptive (Tie to school-wide expectations)

Contingent Age-appropriate Given in a manner that fits your style

Examples of Non-Verbal Feedback

Wink Nod Thumbs-up Pat on the back High-five Hug (when and where appropriate)

Ratio of Interactions

4:1 ratio of positive-to-negative statements Each time you have a negative interaction, tell

yourself you owe that student positive interactions Identify specific times you will give positive feedback Schedule individual conference time Scan the room for appropriate behaviors Engage in frequent positive interactions with all

students

Teaching Effective Rules

Tell-Show-Practice-Assess-Repeat Give positive reinforcement for appropriate

student use Consider consequences for errors

re-teach redirect time to “Cool Down”

Reflect! Are the rules working? Why or why not?

Give Precorrects

PRECORRECTS function as REMINDERS Opportunities to practice Prompt for expected behavior Especially helpful before teacher

anticipates behavior learning errors

Precorrect Examples

“Remember to put your papers in the bin before you quietly walk out of the room.”

“Sam, show us how to be respectful and line up quietly for gym.”

Increasing Positive Interactions

Focus on teaching students to get attention through responsible behavior

Require adults to change the ratio of adult to student interactions from primarily negative to primarily positive

Increasing Positive Interactions

Based on the concept that most students want and need adult attention

Leads students to feel like valued members of the learning community

Techniques to Improve Compliance

Do not use a question format Get up close - proximity Use a quiet voice Make eye contact Give them time

Techniques to Improve Compliance

Tell them only twice Give one direction at a time Tell students what you want them to do (rather

than what you don’t) Verbally reinforce compliance Get up and move

Increasing Opportunities to Respond:

Active Participation

Encourages everyone to become involved in learning

Increases rate of responses of all learners Increases attainment of material presented Allows reluctant learners a secure environment

to practice Decreases inappropriate or off task behavior

Minimize and Correct Student Behavior Errors

Techniques to Minimize At-Risk Behaviors

Surface Management Cognitive Approaches Sensory Strategies Signaling Systems

Surface Management: Proximity

Physical presence of the teacher is an external source of control for student behaviorAllows for intervention without any “public” acknowledgement of the student or behaviorTeacher circulates around the room, moving closer to the student as behavior occursProximity can range from standing nearby to placing a hand on the desk or shoulderThe teacher continues teaching!

Surface Management: Antiseptic Bouncing

Allows the student to exit the setting briefly and minimizes continuation/escalation of the behaviorSignal student to leave while “saving face”Travel to an arranged spot for a set time This can be done as a “helping job”This process should prearranged

Surface Management: Humor

Humor can be used to effectively redirect and/or de-escalate behaviorA good ice-breaker allows everyone to save faceCaution: avoid sarcasm!Caution: If you said it, and you are the only one laughing, it wasn’t really funny!

Surface Management: Ignoring

Quite simply, refusal to respond Useful for low-intensity behaviors No eye-contact, emotion, proximity, message

(verbal, gesture, tone, expression) Begins immediately upon behavior initiation Pair with reinforcement of the correct behavior

Cognitive Approach: Routines

Structure creates safety and comfort Provides a sense of purpose, work guidelines

and ability to anticipate Structure that is universal will especially

benefit certain students Additional individual structure may be needed

Cognitive Approach: Repetition

If it’s important, say it (write it, do it) again! Natural way for the brain to determine

importance Ensures information will be available when it is

ready to be processed Can also be done through symbolic attachment

Sensory Strategy: Music

There are specific neurons for processing music…it may be a preferred learning style.Specifically helpful in spatial reasoning and mathUseful to facilitate student transitionImpacts and helps regulate moodCan be calming to students with anxiety….Provides multiple reinforcement opportunities

Sensory Strategy: Movement

Physical movement (gross and fine motor) Associated with language development and

problem solving Repetitive movement can improve recall Can increase engagement and time on task for

those easily distracted/inattentive Provides stress reduction Provides multiple reinforcement opportunities

Signaling System: Cueing

Visually/Verbally based prompts and reminders Improve overall communication when paired

with language Respond to the brain’s needs during stress to

process information & clarify perceptions Gain student attention by signaling what is

important Minimize disruptions to the learning process

Signaling Systems: VISUAL CUEING

Visuals are the strongest aide in quick learning. Vision also has dedicated neurons in the brain. Children need gestures to make language clearer. Stress makes the brain more dependent on visuals not

only to hear and process, but also to establish perceptions.

Use visual cues to get students’ attention, to clarify language, as a behavioral intervention, and to signal the brain as to what is important.

Signaling Systems: Verbal CueingCATCH PHRASES

Nike?Trix?

Burger King?Conjunction

Junction? Key Points in your lessons should be reduced to

catch phrases. Rules/Procedures should be reduced to catch

phrases.

What should be your first strategy to address repetitive

student behavior errors?

Correct Student Behavior Errors

“Emotion Free” response More effective if students have been taught

expected behaviors Minimize attention other than to signal an

error has occurred Praise for appropriate behavior

How does it look…Correct Student Behavior Errors

1. Signal that an error has occurredRefer to rules: "We respect others in this room by not using

put downs.”2. Ask for an alternative appropriate response "How can you show respect and still get your point across?"3. Provide an opportunity to practice the skill and provide

verbal feedback"That's much better, thank you for showing respect

toward others.”

Utilize Effective Reinforcement Strategies

Behavior(s) are determined and taught Reinforcement is contingent upon appropriate

behavior Be generous with reinforcers at the beginning Reward class when:

Students who have not exhibited behavior in the past are exhibiting the behavior now.

Students who have exhibited behaviors in the past continue to exhibit them.

Effective ReinforcementStrategies

Verbal Praise Paired With

A system to deliver group contingencies or individual reinforcement

“Yes/no” bag Compliance matrix Lottery tickets

A process for students to exchange token/lottery tickets

Assessing Classroom Environment

Things to Consider First…

Establishment of a universal (school-wide) system does not guarantee individual teachers are implementing with high integrity

Students who appear “At-Risk” may benefit more from a teacher improving his/her skills in behavior management than in student participating in targeted interventions

Practices in the Classroom

Assess physical arrangement of classroom Establish behavioral expectations/rules Encourage expected behavior Minimize and correct student behavior errors Provide effective instruction

ResourcesPages 16-22

Secondary Interventions(Practices)

Is It Really Resistance To Intervention?

Before Implementing a Secondary Intervention, You Must Ask:

Is the Student Receiving an Adequate “DOSE” of the Universal Intervention?

Some Secondary Interventions…Some Secondary Interventions…

-Small Group Social Skills Instruction-Check In/Check Out (CICO or BEP) -Mentoring

Targeted Social Skills Instruction

“Students learn appropriate behavior in

the same way a child who doesn’t know how to read

learns to read—through instruction, practice,

feedback, and encouragement.”

- Tim Lewis

Teaching Behavior

Inappropriate behavior is viewed as a skill deficit

Social skills training teaches students a process or strategy to resolve problems

Teaching behavior is used when a student needs to replace problem behavior with a more desirable behavior

Two Types of Social Skill Deficits

Skill deficits (cannot do) Direct teaching approach

Coaching, modeling, behavior rehearsal Performance deficits (will not do)

Incentive-based management approach Prompting, cuing, reinforcement Prompted social initiations Home and school rewards Individual and group contingencies

Assessment of Social Skills

Skill based deficit Provide strong incentive to observe if

student can perform under such conditions

Assessment of Social Skills

Performance based deficit Motivational deficit

Observe if student performs skill following introduction of motivational strategy

motivation=value*belief in ability*get reward promised (Vroom, 1964)

Discrimination deficit Student frequently performs skill, but fails to

perform under specific circumstances Oblivious to social cues or social demands of

situation

Social Skills Instruction

Direct instruction Skill based approach

Social problem solving Strategy based approach

Opportunistic teaching (not enough alone) Prompt students who have missed an opportunity to

practice a skill Provide correction when skill is incorrectly or

inappropriately demonstrated Debrief when student uses inappropriate behavior in place

of appropriate social skill

To effectively teachsocial skills you must ALWAYS

determine what you want the student to do INSTEAD

Social Skill Example: Following Directions/Instructions

Discuss rationale for the critical rule What would happen if you do or do not follow

directions? If you follow directions, you may be seen as more responsible

& cooperative which could lead to more privileges Your teacher will view you as a learner because you follow

through If you don’t follow directions, an adult might think you are

deliberately misbehaving or ignoring them Elicit responses from students: when, where & with whom

they would use this skill

Activity: Teaching Skills

We need 12 volunteers

Following Directions

Teach/describe the skill and skill steps Model examples and non-examples Acknowledge (verbal or nonverbal) Decide if you need to ask any clarifying questions Role play/practice with feedback Do the task immediately Students and teachers observing can provide specific feedback Review and test:

Identify one time when you did not follow directions Identify one time when you did follow directions

Critical Components of Behavior Instruction

Teach the skill Demonstrate the skill Provide multiple opportunities for practice

with feedback Reinforce and encourage when students

demonstrate the skill

Key Points

It’s not what they know, it’s what they do Behavior can be taught Students need multiple opportunities to

practice behavioral skill deficits Teachers need to reinforce students when they

demonstrate targeted skills

Check-In Check-Out(CICO, aka BEP)

Research-based intervention effective with 75% of students who participate

Check-in & check-out daily with an adult at school

Daily performance data used to evaluate progress

Behavior Education Program

10 Critical Features of CICO/BEP

1. Linked directly to school-wide expectations and/or academic goals

2. Continuously available for student participation3. Implemented within 3 school days of team

determination4. Can be modified based on assessment and/or

outcome data5. Includes structured prompts for ‘what to do’ in

relevant situations(Crone, Horner, & Hawken, 2004)

10 Critical Features of CICO/BEP continued…

6. Student receives positive feedback from staff7. Includes a school-home communication exchange

system at least weekly8. Orientation materials provide information for a student

to get started on the intervention9. Orientation materials provide information for staff/

subs./ volunteers who have students using the intervention

10. Opportunities to practice new skills are provided daily(Crone, Horner, & Hawken, 2004)

Why does CICO work?

Improved structure Increase in contingent feedback Elevated reward for appropriate

behavior Linking school and home support Organized to morph into a self-

management system

Is My School Ready to Implement a CICO System?

• School-wide system of behavior support in place (SET Score 80% or higher)

• Staff buy-in for implementation of the CICO• Administrative support• No major changes in school climate data• CICO implementation a top priority

How Do You Build Student and Staff “buy-in” for the CICO?

Give CICO program a high profile in your school

Promote CICO as positive support not punishment

Collaboratively involve referring teachers in CICO process

Provide regular feedback to staff, students, and families

CICO/Behavior Education Program –

Referral Flow ChartTeacher(s), Vice Principal and/or Pupil Personnel Worker refer student to Grade Level

Grade Level Team discusses

concerns and makes a decision

Team decides that student is not a potential candidate for BEP – Recommends actions

for teacher(s)

Student Studies Team meets to review student data – Recommends BEP or alternative action

SST recommends and develops alternative action plan – IEP Process, Tri-County Youth Counseling Services, Small

Group Counseling, etc.

Guidance Counselors, Pupil Personnel Worker or School Psychologist

implement SST action plan

Behavior Education Program

1. Vice Principal contacts parents to initiate Behavior Education Program

2. Grade Level BEP Coordinator meets with student to instruct on process and procedures of program

Team decides that the student is a potential candidate for BEP –

Recommends student to SST and initiates Baseline Data

Mentoring

Part of a systems approach to providing critical intervention for students who: Lack a role model Experience academic failure Maintain behavior with adult attention

Implementation/Program Development Mentoring…

Essential components of mentoring programs Involve personnel who have contact with students Select program staff Determine program goals and objectives Define target population Develop activities and procedures

Problem Statements

Write a “problem statement” that specifies the precise nature of the problem

The more Ws (what, when, where, who, why) you incorporate into the problem statement, the more precise the problem statement will be

The more precise the problem statement, the easier it will be to generate a solution that “fits” the problem
