What is the Positive Behavior Support Process ?
• A data-driven team approach with built-in accountability– Follows a carefully look at the context of the problem behavior – Hypothesizes why the behavior is occurring. – Develops a plan to teach the student a replacement behavior
and new skills– Changes environments to match student needs– Involves people who really care about the student– Develops a written plan capturing the team’s decisions and
methods
Positive Behavior Supports
• What can we expect?– Reductions in discipline problems– Improved academic achievement– Deviant peer groups less likely to form– Prevent the onset, or slow the trajectory of
alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, and delinquency

Positive Behavior Support:
A District Wide Continuum of behavior support
Mesa School District Colorado
Decision Rules for School-Wide Tigard Tualatin Schools, Oregon-TTS
K-12 • If more than 20% of all students received 2 or more
referrals: revisit the CORE.• If more than 30% of referrals occur in a specific area
besides classroom (i.e., hallways): revisit CORE for that area.
• If more than 40% of referrals occur in classrooms: have teachers re-teach school rules and associated classroom expectations.
• More than 30% of referrals for similar reasons (e.g., aggression & fighting), re-teach school rules specific to that area and acknowledge positive behavior.
K-5• Office Discipline Referral Data reviewed monthly. If
more than 1 referral per day per month for every 250 students, revisit the CORE.
6-12• Office Discipline Referral Data reviewed monthly. If
more than 1 referral per day per month for every 200 students, revisit the CORE.
Progress Monitoring
K-12: Behavior Data from Check & Connect Programs
K-12: More than 5 absences or more than 3 counseling or discipline referrals in a 30 day period
K-12: Progress on individual behavior goals or Behavior Support Plan (TTS, Oregon)
Intensifying Interventions
Students who receive 2 – 5 referrals should receive CORE + Second Tier Interventions
If progress is below the expected rate after 6 to 8 weeks of Second Tier Intervention, students move to Third Tier Intervention
If a student receives 6 behavior referrals, perform an appropriate Functional Behavior Assessment & develop a Behavior Support Plan (TTS, Oregon)

Persistent Problems:Academic versus Behavioral
• Academic: Assume the student learned the wrong way to do it or has been taught (inadvertently) the wrong way to perform the action.
• Behavioral: Presume that all students are capable of behaving correctly. Assume that this youngster consciously “chooses” to misbehave and be uncooperative.
Teaching Behavior
• Teach ‘em what they don’t yet know
• …but what and how (behaviorally speaking)?
– Reflective decision making
– Problem solving
– Social skills
– Anger management
– Conflict resolution
– Character education, in order to:
• Provide a solid foundation on which to base the newly acquired social-behavior skills
• Prevent a self-serving display of appropriate behavior
How is teaching behavior like teaching academics?
• Determine the current level of knowledge/skill.
(questioning, observation)
• Make the learning relevant & useful to the learner.
• Make use of present knowledge/skills.
• Instruct, model, & provide guided practice.
• Provide more guided practice (at least 20 successes to ingrain in memory bank) with progressively more “pressure”.~
• Recognize effort & progress.
• Re-teach parts with which s/he has difficulty.
(PENT, Wright-Browning; Mary Beth Hewitt, What Changes Behavior? Punishment or Remediation. Choices)
3 Elements of Data-based Decision Making
1. High quality data from clear definitions, processes, & implementation (e.g., sw behavior support)
2. Efficient data storage & manipulation system (e.g., SWIS)
3. Process for data-based decision making & action planning process (e.g., team)
Tier 3: FBA-Functional Behavior Assessment prior to developing a
Behavior Support/Intervention Plan (BIP/BSP)
• Involves all those who know student• Looks for links between the environment and student
behavior (interactions in class, school, instruction, home)• Why problems occur-functions the behavior serves• Testable explanations (can’t do or won’t do?)• Purpose is to get the information necessary to create a
successful, measurable, documented support plan• May be developed in SST with assistance of school
psychologist, behavior specialist, ….

3. Analyze, describe, & prioritize problem within context
4. Specific measurable outcome
5. Select evidence based practice
6. Provide supports for accurate sustained adoption & implementation
7. Monitor practice implementation & progress toward outcome
Essential Questions• Where does the data identify needs?
• What programs do we know that are evidence based? Which of these will impact our students?
• What population do we target first?
• At what level should the intervention(s) focus?
– Analyze data
– Identify Target Areas for Intervention
– Develop Improvement Plan/Pyramid Tiers
– Implement, Monitor and Evaluate
Analyze Data• District and School Demographics
• Student Performance
– Graduation and Drop Out Rates
– Course completion
– AYP
• Assessment, Curriculum, Instructional Systems
• Current Initiatives and Partnerships
• Professional Development
• Parent/Family Engagement
Identify Target Areas for Intervention
• Academic Content
• Behavior (classroom mgmt, behavior support)
• Attendance/Truancy
• School Climate
• Self-management (self determination, problem solving)
• Mentoring (employment, service learning)
• Family Engagement
Develop Pyramid • Select evidence based practices

• Identify Level of Intensity- Let the Data Guide… Intensity- Let the Data Guide… – Tier 1-school wide– Tier 2-small group– Tier 3-small group/individual– Tier 4-individualized
Implement, Monitor and Evaluate
• Conduct baseline measures and progress monitoring at each tier
