We can’t assume …
Students know the expectations/rules and appropriate ways to behave Students will learn appropriate behaviors quickly and effectively without consistent practice and modeling
We can assume …
Students will require different curricula, instructional modalities, etc… to learn appropriate behavior We need to teach expectations/rules and appropriate behaviors as effectively as we teach academic skills
Behavior is learned, it
CAN
be changed and new behavior
CAN
be taught.
“I can, therefore I will”
Simple Definition of PBS… The application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures.
In other words… We will build • effective, sustaining positive school environments • improve school climate and safety • prevent problem behaviors from occurring and/or reoccurring • instruct and reinforce appropriate behaviors through teaching, modeling, embedding, sharing, reminding, practicing, recognizing, and reinforcing in the classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, and school grounds
In other words… • increase instructional time and academic performance to all students in all settings • develop and strengthen teachers’ abilities to effectively address students’ problem behavior • ultimately produce meaningful and sustainable behavior and lifestyle outcomes
School-wide PBS… A
collaborative
, assessment-based
process
to developing effective interventions for problem behavior Emphasizes the use of
proactive
,
educative
, and
reinforcement-based
strategies to achieve meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes Aim is to build
functional
, effective environments in which appropriate behavior is more effective than problem behavior
