  1. Restraint and Seclusion training Simpson County Schools Joseph Kilburn and Shelia Baugh 2013-2014

  2. Benefits of PBIS“Begin with the End in Mind” • PBIS is not a curriculum — it is a framework to help schools identify needs, develop strategies, and evaluate practices. • Implementing positive, instructional discipline strategies and systems is the most effective way to prevent decrease or eliminate problem student behavior. • PBIS meshes naturally with many other school improvement initiatives (Leader In Me)

  3. Basic Components of PBIS“Put First Things First” • Teaching and re-teaching policies, procedures, and expectations • Consistently communicating the expectations through our actions and our words • Recognizing positive behaviors

  4. Basic Components of PBIS“Synergize” • Using data to evaluate procedures and supervision plans • Using data to evaluate interventions • What types of discipline data do we use to evaluate our efforts, and what can we learn from it?

  5. Motivations for Misbehavior“Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood” Think about a time when a student has misbehaved in your school or class. Describe the behavior and what you believe to be the motivation behind the behavior • Power • Revenge • Hide inadequacies • Attention • Display of frustration • Conflict What strategies can you use to curb behavior based on each of these motivators?

  6. Types of Interventions“Think Win-Win” • Universal interventions • Discipline matrix • Targeted interventions • Address the motivation behind the behavior • Intensive interventions • Address the needs of the child • Give two examples of universal interventions at the administrative level and two examples of universal interventions at the classroom level • Give two examples of targeted interventions at the administrative level, and two examples of targeted interventions at the classroom level • Give two examples of intensive interventions. What resources are available in our schools to assist teachers in accessing intensive interventions for students

  7. Universal Strategies For Preventing Problem Behaviors in Non-classroom Areas • Active Supervision in all areas where students are found • Common understanding of expectations • Consistent enforcement of expectations • Using positive language to address problem behavior

  8. Universal Strategies For Preventing Problem Behaviors in Non-classroom Areas • Use strategies to manage the flow of traffic and maintain a safe and orderly environment during transitions • Greet students by name, smile, and have positive interactions • Model the way students should interact with peers in the way you interact with peers

  9. Universal Strategies for Preventing Problem Behaviors in the Classroom • Increased student engagement • 4 to 1 positive to negative interaction • Address problem behaviors in a positive way when possible • Arrange the classroom to support the activities going on • Clear goals, objectives, and instructions

  10. Universal Strategies For Preventing Problem Behaviors in Classroom Areas • Avoid embarrassing students • Don’t let negative emotions dictate your behavior • Practice common procedures • Student choice • Behavior momentum

  11. Elements of Effective Praise“Be Proactive” • Praising effort more than outcome and outcome more than ability • Use “you” more than “I” • Be specific • Be genuine • Praise 4 times as much as you correct

  12. Culture and Climate“Sharpen the Saw” • The most powerful tool we have to impact student behavior is adult behavior and that is directly within our control. • How do you create opportunities for students and staff to take ownership in the school? • How do you create opportunities for students to take leadership roles within the school? • How do you celebrate successes, recognize accomplishments, and reward positive behaviors?

  13. Why Are These Kids SO Angry? “You must first seek to understand before you seek to be understood.” – Stephen Covey “Angry children are children who are very afraid. Violent children are children who are scared, angry children.” –Malcolm Smith The same part of the brain controls fear and anger. Anger is a secondary emotion that is dependent upon the presence of fear.

  14. Anger Three types of anger: • Expressive anger-want adults to know about their anger, don’t seem to care about consequences, easy to recognize, not well though out; Adults must help them express what is causing the anger and find appropriate ways to express it.

  15. Anger • Passive anger-appear to be sneaky and avoiding consequences, carefully plotted. Students displaying passive anger don’t usually admit they are angry. Their anger may come out in devious & anonymous acts. • Implosive anger-students who have buried their anger under a layer of emotions; so painful they may hurt themselves or others rather than face it. Students may turn to drug abuse or eat or starve away their anger, greater risk for suicide, may be inconsistent with out-of-control emotions

  16. Escalation Cycle Adult responses to student problem behavior may actually cause negative behavior to escalate. Calm stage-students follow rules, on task, exhibits socially appropriate behaviors, accept corrective feed-back, and follow directives. Trigger stage (Anxiety)-something occurs that upsets the student, often unresolved conflicts such as repeated failures, frequent corrections, interpersonal conflicts, inconsistent or infrequent positive reinforcement- look for way for quick success and immediately provide positive feedback Acceleration and Peak stages (Defensive, Acting Out Person)-student is unable to think rationally or exhibit self-control, INTERVENTION IS FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENT AND OTHERS. Disengage from the student and follow school’s crisis prevention procedures. Peak stage the student’s behavior is most severe and may include destruction of property, physical aggression or injury to self or others (may use room clear). De-escalation stage (Tension Reduction)-severe behaviors decrease, but the student may appear confused. You may see denial or disengagement from social or group activities. Recovery stage-The student prefers non-engagement activities. You may see withdrawal, sleeping, or attempts to correct the problem.

  17. Avoiding Escalating Behaviors • Modeling empathy- “May I help you?” • Appropriately intervene early • Manipulate the environmental factors • Identify replacement behaviors that can be taught Non-verbal strategies • Acknowledge the student’s feelings • Remove the student from behavioral triggers • Avoid getting into a power struggle with the students “If you inadvertently assist the student to escalate, do not be concerned; you will get another chance to do it right the next time around.” -Colvin

  18. Verbal de-escalation: The process used to calm an agitated student by using communication, listening and body language. When a student becomes agitated you can use Empathic Listening: -Provide the student with your undivided attention -Maintain eye contact with the student -Focus on the feelings & engage the student in positive self-talk -Avoid power struggles with students -Give choices- (pencil or marker, front or back of room, now or ISI)

  19. Verbal de-escalation Look at your voice: • Lower your volume of voice when talking to the student • Tone- use a calm and reassuring voice that is non-judgmental • Cadence- talk at a slower speed of speech • Monitor your body language (non-verbal communication)-avoid gestures that appear judgmental or non-supportive

  20.
