13. Community and Family Involvement in Positive Behavior Support By Laura A. Riffel, Ph.D.

14. Positive Behavior Support Isn�t about changing individuals- it�s about changing the environment Putting proactive systems in place for a continuum of support in the behavioral and academic realm

15. Basic Concepts 3-5 behavioral expectations Tell kids what to do instead of what not to do Teach, Model, Practice, Praise Give booster shots Oct., Dec., Jan., Mar., May Continuum of Support for ALL students

17. What we have found is that the behavior side of the pyramid matches the behavioral side of the pyramid. When we first introduce a new skill to students about 80% of the students get the skill the first time, about 10-15% of the students need booster shots, and about 3-5% need intensive interventions. We teach the skill, we model it, we give the students opportunities to practice it and then we put �C�s� on all the problems they get correct and leave the ones they miss blank so they can go back and correct them. We have to start thinking about behavior the same way we think about academics, Teach it, model it, practice it, and reward appropriate attempts.What we have found is that the behavior side of the pyramid matches the behavioral side of the pyramid.
