  23. Community Center Updates • Less notices going home to parents regarding behavior. • Staff are helping kids understand and demonstrate PBIS expectations. • Adults are using the “three B's” more often. • More staff participation in using the “push-pins” vs. giving time outs. Allows kids to participate in more fun activities instead of sitting out. • Less occurrences of bullying behavior/gossip than previous years. Next Steps • Implement a “Check in Check Out” intervention. • Continue to find better ways to track data.

  24. “It’s in everyone’s best interest that the schools are safe, responsible & respectful.”“Schools are what make a town.” Timothy E. Gillian Village Administrator

  25. How to Get Started • Identify a community-wide goal/need • Use data • Survey families/community • Identify your stakeholders • Who else cares about this goal? • Who can help make an impact in this goal? • What groups/settings support your students when they’re not in school?

  26. Make the News • Caught doing good: PBIS goes community-wide …PBIS …does is make sure those consequences include rewards for good behavior as well as punishments for behaving badly. ... • Snapshot of the schools "We want to take this district from good to great,“ • PBIS taps business "Oh, sure. Recognizing kids for being good is really going to work."

  27. How to Get Started: Relationships • Build on past collaborations, relationships • Can be simple…start casual…make initial call! • Don’t underestimate the School Board • They influence their neighbors • PTO: Can help get families come to other events…must have ‘buzz’ • No rule that you can’t walk right into mayors office…take direct approach • Encourage Superintendent to get to know the Mayor…2-way relationship (think…property values!)

  28. How to Get Started: Leadership Getting leaders to buy-in: • Demand it/expect it • Start where you’re most likely to get leadership success.. • Identify and work towards mutual goals Team without leaders can’t make decisions!
