This document outlines the essential role of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in schools for improving both academic and social outcomes. It highlights longstanding effective behavioral interventions and the importance of accurate implementation by real implementers. Key components include systematic prevention strategies tailored to student needs, from universal interventions for all students to targeted supports for at-risk individuals. Sustained high-fidelity PBIS implementation correlates with significant positive trends in student outcomes, improved school climates, and reduced behavioral issues.

90-School StudyHorner et al., in press • Schools that receive technical assistance from typical support personnel implement SWPBS with fidelity • Fidelity SWPBS is associated with • Low levels of ODR • .29/100/day v. national mean .34 • Improved perception of safety of the school • reduced risk factor • Increased proportion of 3rd graders who meet state reading standard.
Project Target: Preliminary FindingsBradshaw & Leaf, in press • PBIS (21 v. 16) schools reached & sustained high fidelity • PBIS increased all aspects of organizational health • Positive effects/trends for student outcomes • Fewer students with 1 or more ODRs (majors + minors) • Fewer ODRs (majors + minors) • Fewer ODRs for truancy • Fewer suspensions • Increasing trend in % of students scoring in advanced & proficient range of state achievement test

Sustaining Change • Know your basics • Implement with fidelity • Give priority to what matters • Know your outcomes • Integrate for efficiency • Build durable capacity
Summary Notes • Demonstrations – Implementation sustainability • Formalizing family engagement & support • Sustainability involves recognition • Measurable definitions to enable evaluation of time use
Tertiary Demonstrations Interagency – Establishing demos • Specific direction for multiple players/sites • Work w/ existing structures/resources
School/Family/Community Partnerships - Engagement • Driven by stakeholders • Self-assessment & existing structures • Thinking long term with measurable benchmarks
Fiscal – Implementation costs • Enhancements for ease of use • Retest before distribution • Cost data summaries are useful
Related Initiatives - Coaching • Identify what exists & common ground (SIP) • Integrate around outcomes & need data • Generic functions
Political Support/Visibility – National legislation • Nonpartisan approach • Promoting policy through best practice & examples • Targeting small # of powerful influential advocacy groups
Overall • “Working Smarter” – Is “it”…. • Effective • Efficient • Relevant • Durable • Scalable
RtI as umbrella for academic & behavior • Integration for predictability, efficiency, & continuous regeneration • Family engagement metric & continuum of evidence-based practices (RtI)….metric directly outcome linked
Model/demonstrate before promoting • Research-Practice-Policy • Precorrect-prevent, teach, acknowledge, & reinforce at systems level
Organization Common Vision ORGANIZATION MEMBERS Common Experience Common Language
Sr+ • Striving for common vision, language, & routine • Using data & outcome driven decisions • Sticking w/ what works • Modeling what you want to see • Acknowledging & showcasing accomplishments • Staying connected to student outcomes
