The good news
 PBIS works
< Randomized control trial evidence
< Other national studies
< Local evidence
 PBIS is available
< 15 years of PBIS
< 9 years of PBIS in MN
The “other” news
 PBIS requires effort from teachers/staff
<
<
<
<
Teach behavior expectations
Acknowledge appropriate behavior
Consistent use of school’s discipline procedures
In the classroom, non-classrooms settings, and with
individual kids
 Other things in school require effort, too
< Teaching
< Committees, meetings
< Other initiatives
The reality
 PBIS only works when implemented with fidelity
< 80% overall
 80% teaching in year 1
 80% reward system in year 2+
The BOTTOM LINE
We need staff to buy-in to PBIS in
order to implement with fidelity and
achieve desired outcomes
LET’S TALK ABOUT BUY-IN
What is buy-in?
 A willingness to
participate in the
specific tasks
associated with
PBIS
< Measured by PBISSIM
 Teach behavior
expectations
 Acknowledge
appropriate behavior
 Consistent use of
school’s discipline
procedures
 In the classroom,
non-classrooms
settings, and with
individual kids
What do we know about PBIS buyin?

 Included
< Cohorts 5, 7, and 8
