If 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?
punish?
Why can’t we finish the last
sentence as automatically as we
do the others?
- Herner, 1998
Why do we need a system for
teaching behavior?
We can no longer assume students know
expectations, rules, and appropriate ways
to behave
We must assume we need to teach
expectations, rules, and appropriate ways
to behave
as effectively as we teach academics
A closer look…
Traditional Discipline
Focus:
Student’s negative
behavior
Goal:
To stop undesirable
behavior
PBS Discipline
Focus:
Students
demonstrating the
desirable behavior
Goal:
To teach appropriate
skills and reward
appropriate behavior
Do you know students who:
are disruptive?
talk out?
are unprepared?
use inappropriate language
are tardy?
are defiant?
refuse to work?
have difficulty taking turns?
refuse to share?
move about the classroom?
are aggressive?
may have low academic achievement?
Children and Behavior
Some children use behavior to
communicate needs
Undesirable behaviors interfere with
learning
PBS helps us understand the PURPOSE of
the behaviors and teaches children the
necessary skills to replace undesirable
behaviors
Possible Strategies
Student conference
Peer mediation
Re-teach expectation
Role playing
Seating change
Note to parent
Phone parent
Parent conference
Curricular Accommodation
Refer to guidance
Classroom intervention
Positive Behavior Support
a research-based proactive approach for
handling classroom and school campus
behaviors
proven to increase academic achievement and
attendance
a means for providing a more effective learning
environment and keeping each student engaged
requires reflection as it is always in development
Why should I do PBS?
Decrease in negative behaviors = increase
in academic time
Increase in academic time = increase in
academic success
What does PBS look like at
Bayshore?
