PURPOSE

To review defining and

essential features of school-

wide approach to positive

behavioral interventions and

supports (PBIS) and to develop

action plan for next steps.

• Updates & review• Self-assessments• Action planning

IntroductionsAttendees• Name• Position

School features• Demographics• Status of discipline & behavior: Good, Fair, Poor

PBIS Implementation• SW: Full, Partial, None• Individual Student: : Full, Partial, None

Your outcomes• What would you like to get out of meeting?

SWPBS is about….Improving

classroom & school climate

Decreasing reactive

management

Maximizing academic

achievement

Improving support for students w/

EBD

Integrating academic &

behavior initiatives

SWPBS Implementation “Infidelity”

“SWPBS is intervention”

“Let’s schedule Rob Horner for our in-service day”

“Let’s do SWPBS during morning advisory”

“Can I visit your school & see SWPBS in action?”

“SWPBS is about giving kids tangible rewards”

“She’s a tier 3 kid; give her 2 day suspension”

“Shut up, & show me some respect”

Implementation

ChallengeLack of expert

capacity

Competing initiatives

Lacking implementation

framework

Nondata-based decision making Insufficient

resources

Limited differentiation

No theory of action or change

Problem Statement

“We give schools strategies & systems for improving practice & outcomes, but implementation is not accurate, consistent, or durable, & desired outcomes aren’t realized. School personnel & teams need more than exposure, practice, & enthusiasm.”

“Big Ideas” from Early Years

Teach & recognize behavior directly, school-wide

• Colvin & Sugai (1992)

Focus adult behavior in team-based SW action planning

• Colvin, Kame’enui, & Sugai (1993)

Consider ALL as foundation for some by establishing local behavioral expertise• Sugai & Horner (1994)

Integrate evidence-based practices in 3-tiered prevention logic• Walker, Horner, Sugai, Bullis, Sprague, Bricker, & Kaufman (1996)

Changing Adult Behavior

1.

“Change is slow,

difficult, gradual process

for teachers

2.

“Teachers need to receive regular

feedback on student learning

outcomes”

3.

“Continued support & follow-up

are necessary after initial training”

Guskey, 1986, p. 59

SWPBS Logic!Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, durable, scalable, & logical for all students(Zins & Ponti, 1990)

Academic-Behavior Connection

“Viewed as outcomes, achievement and

behavior are related; viewed as causes of

each other, achievement and behavior are

unrelated. In this context, teaching behavior

as relentlessly as we teach reading or other

academic content is the ultimate act of

prevention, promise, and power underlying

PBS and other preventive interventions in

America’s schools.”

9. Align professional development & support with implementation phase

Where are you in implementation process?Adapted from Fixsen & Blase, 2005

• We think we know what we need, so we ordered 3 month free trial (evidence-based)

EXPLORATION & ADOPTION

• Let’s make sure we’re ready to implement (capacity infrastructure)

INSTALLATION

• Let’s give it a try & evaluate (demonstration)

INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION

• That worked, let’s do it for real (investment)

FULL IMPLEMENTATION

• Let’s make it our way of doing business (institutionalized use)

13. Consider Context

& Culture

Culture is the extent to which a group of individuals engage in overt & verbal behavior reflecting shared behavioral learning histories, serving to differentiate the group from other groups, & predicting how individuals within the group act in specific setting conditions.

That is, culture reflects a collection of common verbal & overt behaviors that are learned & maintained by a set of similar social & environmental contingencies (i.e., learning history).

Emphasis is on applied settings with recognition that group membership is (a) flexible & dynamic, & (b) changed & shaped over time, across generations, & from one setting to another.

2011+ Basic Big Ideas1.

• Invest in prevention

2.

• Teach, supervise, reinforce

3.

• Emphasize implementation framework

4.

• Integrate outcomes, data, practices, & systems

5.

• Invest in multi-tiered prevention logic

6.

• Adopt doable implementation blueprint

7.

• Embed response-to-intervention logic

8.

• Integrate literacy & behavior implementation & supports

9.

• Align professional development & support with implementation phase10.

• Implement evidence-based practice with fidelity11.

• Work smarter by doing a few effective things very well12.

• Guide decisions with data

Implementation Example:

Bullying Prevention

Bullying Program Component Review Purpose

Identify programming components of established methods

Identify skills of key groups

Determine adherence to RTI prevention & intervention logic

Preliminary Conclusions

Develop method that outlines strategies for all key groups

Operationally define behaviors & “focus skills” for all key members

Emphasize identification & teaching skills for students engaging in bullying behavior

Emphasize data use to make programming decisions.

What is “bullying?”

Remember

“Label behavior, not

people…’

So, say, “bully behavior”

Behavior

Verbal/physical aggression,

intimidation, harassment,

teasing, manipulation

Why do bully behavior?

Get/obtain

E.g., stuff, things, attention, status, money, activity,

attention, etc.

Escape/avoid

E.g., same…but less likely

• Victim attention• Bystander attention• Self-delivered praise

• Tangible access

Why is “why” important?
