  3. 8 SW-PBS Logic! Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable for all students (Zins & Ponti, 1990)

  4. 2 SWPBS is about….

  5. YEAR 1 OUTCOME OBJECTIVES • Establish leadership team • Establish staff agreements • Build working knowledge & foundations of SW-PBS practices & systems • Develop & being implementation of individualized action plan for SW-PBS

  6. 17 SWPBS Practices School-wide Classroom • Smallest # • Evidence-based • Biggest, durable effect Family Non-classroom Student

  7. Development “Map” • 2+ years of team training • Annual “booster” events • Coaching/facilitation support at school, district, & regional/state levels • Regular self-assessment & evaluation data • Development of local/district leadership teams • Establishment of local specialized behavior competence • Integration with related behavior initiatives

  8. Role of “Coaching” • Liaison between school teams & PBS leadership team • Local facilitation of process • Local resource for data-based decision making

  9. Integrated Elements Supporting Social Competence & Academic Achievement OUTCOMES 15 Supporting Decision Making Supporting Staff Behavior DATA SYSTEMS PRACTICES Supporting Student Behavior

  16. ESTABLISHING A CONTINUUM of SWPBS 29 • TERTIARY PREVENTION • Function-based support • Wraparound/PCP • Special Education Audit Identify existing practices by tier Specify outcome for each effort Evaluate implementation accuracy & outcome effectiveness Eliminate/integrate based on outcomes Establish decision rules (RtI) ~5% ~15% • SECONDARY PREVENTION • Check in/out • Targeted social skills instruction • Peer-based supports • Social skills club • PRIMARY PREVENTION • Teach & encourage positive SW expectations • Proactive SW discipline • Effective instruction • Parent engagement ~80% of Students

  20. STEP 3 – Identify Positive SW Expectations • Linked to social culture of school (e.g., community, mascot). • Considerate of social skills and rules that already exists. • 3-5 in number • 1-3 words per expectation • Positively stated • Supportive of academic achievement • Comprehensive in scope (school-wide – ALL students, staff, and settings) • Mutually exclusive (minimal overlap) • Contextually/culturally appropriate (e.g., age, level, language) • Agreement by >80% faculty and staff • Communicated to stakeholders (e.g., families, community members, district administrators) • Included in school publications (e.g., handbook, posters, newsletters)

  21. STEP 4 – Develop Lesson Plan for Teaching SW Positive Expectations • Considerate of main school settings and contexts (e.g., classroom, common areas, hallways, cafeteria, bus) • Considerate of lessons that already exists. • Specification of 2-3 positive observable behavior examples for each expectation and each setting/context. • Teach social behavior like academic skills. • Involvement by staff, students, families in development • Contextually/culturally appropriate (e.g., age, level, language) • Schedule for initial instruction in natural and typical contexts • Schedule for regular review, practice, and follow-up instruction • Prompts, reminders, or precorrections for display of behaviors in natural contexts and settings • Feedback (corrections and positive acknowledgements) for displays of behaviors in natural contexts and settings • Procedures for providing instruction to new faculty, staff, students • Procedures for informing others (e.g. families, community, district administrators, substitute teachers & staff) • Agreement by >80% faculty and staff • Schedule for continuous evaluation of effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of teaching • Procedures in place for identifying and supporting students whose behaviors do not respond to teaching school-wide behavior expectations • Included in school publications (e.g., handbooks)

  22. STEP 5 – Develop Lesson Plans for Teaching Positive CW Expectations • School-wide action plan for classroom management practices and procedures based on results from Classroom Self-Assessment • Definitions and processes for responding to classroom versus office-managed (minor) or administrator-managed (major) violations of behavior expectations. • Teaching matrix, procedures, and schedules developed for teaching school-wide behavior expectations in typical classroom contexts and routines. • Data system in place to monitor office discipline referral that come from classrooms • Procedures in place for obtaining behavior support for students whose behaviors are not responsive to classroom-wide management • Prompts (reminders and precorrections) for display of behaviors in natural contexts and routines • Feedback (corrections and positive acknowledgements) for displays of behaviors in natural contexts and routines • Involvement by staff, students, and families in development • Contextually/culturally appropriate (e.g., age, level, language) • Schedule for initial instruction • Schedule for regular review, practice, follow-up instruction • Agreement by >80% faculty and staff • Schedule for continuous evaluation of effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of teaching • Included in school publications (e.g., handbooks)

  30. What does SWPBS look like? • >80% of students can tell you what is expected of them & give behavioral example because they have been taught, actively supervised, practiced, & acknowledged. • Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed negative • Function based behavior support is foundation for addressing problem behavior. • Data- & team-based action planning & implementation are operating. • Administrators are active participants. • Full continuum of behavior support is available to all students

  32. Action Planning: Guidelines • Agree upon decision making procedures • Align with school/district goals. • Focus on measurable outcomes. • Base & adjust decisions on data & local contexts. • Give priority to evidence-based programs. • Invest in building sustainable implementation supports (>80%) • Consider effectiveness, & efficiency, relevance, in decision making (1, 3, 5 rule)
