Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis
• Human behavior is predictable
– Environmental conditions can set up, set off, or
maintain appropriate or inappropriate behavior

C
– Educators task is to look for, understand and
interrupt predictable patterns of problem
behavior

Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis
• Human behavior is functional (FBA)
– Serves a purpose, communicates a need
– “Get” or “Avoid”
– Results/consequences of a behavior affect future
occurrences of that behavior
– Sometimes problem behavior is more effective
than appropriate behavior

Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis
• Human behavior is changeable (BIP)
– Understanding predictors, consequences, and
function associated with a problem behavior is key
for designing effective intervention plans.
– Challenge is creating an environment that increase
the likelihood students will behave appropriately.

Functional Behavioral Assessment
• Functional Behavioral Assessment
– is a problem-solving process for
– Identify events that predict and maintain problem
behavior.
• The primary objective of FBA is to develop a
summary statement about the problem
• The summary statement is used to design an
intervention plan that teaches a new pattern
of behavior.
MO SW-PBS
• When given directions to begin work tasks (particularly
reading or writing) the student engages in disruptive
behaviors (e.g., pencil tapping, talking to other students,
digging around in desk, getting out of seat).
• Most often the teacher provides repeated prompts, redirects
or individual conferencing. These responses cause the
behavior to intensify and may include physical or verbal
aggression (e.g., slamming desk, shoving materials away or
use of profanity). When this occurs the student is removed
from the classroom.
• These behaviors occur approximately four to five times per
week and are more frequent in the morning – during
language arts, and social studies instruction. These behaviors
rarely occur in math and science. There are no problem
behaviors on the bus, during P.E., art, music, or at recess.
• The problem behaviors are maintained primarily by
avoidance of work tasks and to a lesser extent by teacher
attention.
Steps in the FBA Process
• Gather information to generate a summary
statement
– Use indirect methods
• Record review
• Context analysis
• Teacher, student and parent interviews
• Goal is to identify what, when, where and
under which conditions
MO SW-PBS
Steps in the FBA Process
• Gather information to confirm the summary
statement.
– Use direct methods
• A-B-C recording
• Goal is to verify what, when, where and
under which conditions they are most likely.

The Power of SW-PBS
• “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.”
• “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.”
• “If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we
teach.”
• “If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.”
• “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we………
teach?... remove...? punish?”
Inspiration for SW-PBS
• District Vision 2006 – Curriculum Director
• Relationship between students’ academic failure and
increased incidents of inappropriate behavior.
• Consistency among elementary schools in the district due to
students attending three different schools during an
elementary students K-5 career from 2006-2012.
– K-1 school, DBE
– 2-3 school, WRE
– 4-5 school, RBE
2012-13 district restructuring of all 3 elementary
schools back to K-5.

Need for Tier 3
• Identification of a student based on intensive
needs and ODR.
– 20 for 2012-13 (5th grade)
– 11 for 2011-12 (4th grade)
– However, had more days of suspension in 11-12
• Student Background:
–
–
–
–
Transfer from another district at beginning of 4th grade to RBE.
Due to district restructuring, attending WRE in 5th grade.
No evidence of SWPBS prior to 4th grade.
Thus, T1 and T2 not in place K-3.
Staff Training for T3
Selection Process:
• PBS team already in place.
• Administrator and “Coach” of Team
FBA Components:
• Most data gathered by administrator (record
review, interviews, direct observations)
• Team approach to summary statement, context
analysis, competing behavior pathway.
• Behavior Specialist - observation
Time and Effort for T3
(Readiness to implement intervention)
• Organized data collection necessary.
• Analysis created a better understanding of
student and problem and need.
• Practice with several scenario summary
statements and competing behavior pathways
and time to completion will decrease.
• Team-based approach.
• Classroom teacher was part of PBS team.
Feasibility of using FBA Process
• With training, implementation is quicker, easier and a flowing
process.
Lessons Learned
•
•
•
•
Keep accurate records and data.
Data drives change and improvement.
Practice creating BIP with scenarios.
Keep staff consistently trained, informed,
and updated on T1 and T2 – teach to the
desired behavior.
• Use SPED reports and cross check with
summary statement.
