C., & Gallup. A. M. (2005). 37th annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup poll of the public’s attitudes toward the public schools. Kappan, September, 41-59. TOP FOUR 2005 • Lack of financial support (since 2000) • Overcrowded schools • Lack of discipline & control • Drug use #1 SPOT • >2000 lack of financial support • 1991-2000 drug use • <1991 lack of discipline Competing, Inter-related National Goals • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Improve literacy, math, geography, science, etc. Make schools safe, caring, & focused on teaching & learning Improve student character & citizenship Alternatives to suspension Responsiveness to Intervention Eliminate bullying Prevent drug use School-based mental health Social & emotional well-being Prepare for postsecondary education Provide a free & appropriate education for all Prepare viable workforce Truancy/attendance Leave no child behind Etc…. PURPOSE Enhance capacity of school teams to provide the best behavioral supports for all students…... MAIN TRAINING OBJECTIVES • Establish leadership team • Establish staff agreements • Build working knowledge of SW-PBS practices & systems • Develop individualized action plan for SWPBS for upcoming year – Data: Discipline Data, EBS Self-Assessment Survey, Team Implementation Checklist – Presentation for school Getting to these objectives • Rationale, context, & features • Implementation practices, structures, & processes • Outcomes & examples • Brief activities & team action planning SW-PBS Logic! Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable (Zins & Ponti, 1990) Context Matters! “141 Days!” Intermediate/senior high school with 880 students reported over 5,100 office discipline referrals in one academic year. Nearly 2/3 of students have received at least one office discipline referral. 5,100 referrals = 76,500 min @15 min = 1,275 hrs = 159 days @ 8 hrs “Da place ta be” During 4th period, in-school detention room has so many students that the overflow is sent to the counselor’s office. Most students have been assigned for being in the hallways after the late bell. “Would you eat there?” Cafeteria staff indicate that food is being thrown on the floor, creating a safety hazard. “Not me” Middle school principal must teach classes when teachers are absent, because substitute teachers refuse to work in a school that is unsafe & lacks discipline. “Class from Hell” Ms. Taken says 3rd period is her “class from hell.” It takes 10 minutes to get classes started. Half students usually leave classroom before period is over. Ms. Taken calls dean of students to her class at least once per week. “Cliques” During Advisory Class, the “sportsters” sit in the back of the room, & “goths” sit at the front. Most class activities result in out of seat, yelling arguments between the two groups. “You said, what?” In two high schools, students cited & fined $113 for using profanity “Four corners” Three rival gangs are competing for “four corners.” Teachers actively avoid the area. Because of daily conflicts, vice principal has moved her desk to four corners. “Not my job” School counselor spends nearly 15% of his day “counseling” staff members who feel helpless & defenseless in their classrooms because of a lack of discipline & support. “FTD” On 1st day of school, a teacher found “floral” arrangement on his desk. “Welcome to the neighborhood” was written on the card. Secondary Features • Social culture is important in high school • Student-student interactions as important • Problem behaviors are different – – – – Tardy & truancy Work completion Insubordination & disrespect. Student-student aggression & harassment • 10th grade is “tipping point” • Adults make a difference through – Being models – Defining clear expectations – Arranging for academic success. Messages 1. Successful Individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or schools that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable 2. Learning & teaching environments must be redesigned to increase the likelihood of behavioral & academic success 2 Worries & Ineffective Responses to Problem Behavior • Get Tough (practices) • Train-&-Hope (systems) Worry #1 “Teaching” by Getting Tough Runyon: “I hate this f____ing school, & you’re a dumbf_____.” Teacher: “That is disrespectful language. I’m sending you to the office so you’ll learn never to say those words again….starting now!” Immediate & seductive solution….”Get Tough!” • Clamp down & increase monitoring • Re-re-re-review rules • Extend continuum & consistency of consequences • Establish “bottom line” ...Predictable individual response Reactive responses are predictable…. When we experience aversive situation, we want select interventions that produce immediate relief – Remove student – Remove ourselves – Modify physical environment – Assign responsibility for change to student &/or others When behavior doesn’t improve, we “Get Tougher!” • Zero tolerance policies • Increased surveillance • Increased suspension & expulsion • In-service training by expert • Alternative programming …..Predictable systems response! Erroneous assumption that student… • Is inherently “bad” • Will learn more appropriate behavior through increased use of “aversives” • Will be better tomorrow……. But….false sense of safety/security! • Fosters environments of control • Triggers & reinforces antisocial behavior • Shifts accountability away from school • Devalues child-adult relationship • Weakens relationship between academic & social behavior programming Science of behavior has taught us that students…. • Are NOT born with “bad behaviors” • Do NOT learn when presented contingent aversive consequences ……..Do learn better ways of behaving by being taught directly & receiving positive feedback Worry #2: “Train & Hope” WAIT for New Problem Expect, But HOPE for Implementation Hire EXPERT to Train Practice REACT to Problem Behavior Select & ADD Practice Development “Map” • 2+ years of team training • Annual “booster” events • Coaching/facilitator support @ school & district levels • Regular self-assessment & evaluation data • Develoment of local/district leadership teams • State/region & Center on PBIS for coordination & TA Role of “Coaching” • Liaison between school teams & PBS leadership team • Local facilitation of process • Local resource for data-based decision making Supporting Social Competence & Academic Achievement 4 PBS Elements OUTCOMES Supporting Decision Making Supporting Staff Behavior PRACTICES Supporting Student Behavior CONTINUUM OF SCHOOL-WIDE INSTRUCTIONAL & POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT ~5% ~15% Primary Prevention: School-/ClassroomWide Systems for All Students, Staff, & Settings ~80% of Students Tertiary Prevention: Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with High-Risk Behavior Secondary Prevention: Specialized Group Systems for Students with At-Risk Behavior http://rtckids.fmhi.usf.edu Kutash, K., Duchnowski, A.

Are “Rewards” Dangerous? “…our research team has conducted a series of reviews and analysis of (the reward) literature; our conclusion is that there is no inherent negative property of reward. Our analyses indicate that the argument against the use of rewards is an overgeneralization based on a narrow set of circumstances.” – Cameron, 2002 • Cameron & Pierce, 1994, 2002 • Cameron, Banko & Pierce, 2001 “Good morning, class!” Teachers report that when students are greeted by an adult in morning, it takes less time to complete morning routines & get first lesson started. “Bus Bucks” • Springfield P.S., OR • Procedures – Review bus citations – On-going driver meetings – Teaching expectations – Link bus bucks w/ schools – Acknowledging bus drivers “Super Sub Slips” • Empowering subs in Cottage Grove, OR • Procedures – Give 5 per sub in subfolder – Give 2 out immediately “Positive Office Referral” • Balancing positive/negative adult/student contacts in Oregon • Procedures – Develop equivalent positive referral – Process like negative referral “Piece of Paper” In one month, staff recorded 15 office discipline referrals for rule violations, & 37 for contributing to safe environment Team GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS Agreements Data-based Action Plan Evaluation Implementation Team Managed Staff Acknowledgements Effective Practices Implementation Continuous Monitoring Administrator Participation Staff Training & Support FCPS CO PBS “80% Rule” • Apply triangle to adult behavior! • Regularly acknowledge staff behavior • Individualized intervention for nonresponders – Administrative responsibility CONTINUUM OF SCHOOL-WIDE INSTRUCTIONAL & POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT ~5% ~15% Primary Prevention: School-/ClassroomWide Systems for All Students, Staff, & Settings ~80% of Students Tertiary Prevention: Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with High-Risk Behavior Secondary Prevention: Specialized Group Systems for Students with At-Risk Behavior “Golden Plunger” • Involve custodian • Procedure – Custodian selects one classroom/ hallway each week that is clean & orderly – Sticks gold-painted plunger with banner on wall “1 Free Period” • Contributing to a safe, caring, effective school environment • Procedures – Given by Principal – Principal takes over class for one hour – Used at any time “G.O.O.S.E.” • “Get Out Of School Early” – Or “arrive late” • Procedures – Kids/staff nominate – Kids/staff reward, then pick Team GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS Agreements Data-based Action Plan Evaluation Implementation Team-based Decision Making & Planning Relevant & Measurable Indicators Efficient Input, Storage, & Retrieval Evaluation Continuous Monitoring Effective Visual Displays Regular Review SWIS FRMS CONTINUUM OF SCHOOL-WIDE INSTRUCTIONAL & POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT ~5% ~15% Primary Prevention: School-/ClassroomWide Systems for All Students, Staff, & Settings ~80% of Students Tertiary Prevention: Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with High-Risk Behavior Secondary Prevention: Specialized Group Systems for Students with At-Risk Behavior T otal O ffic e D is c ipl ine R efer r al Kennedy Middle School 1500 1200 900 600 300 0 95-96 96-97 97-98 School Years 98-99 FRMS Total Office Discipline Referrals Sustained Impact Pre 3000 Total ODRs 2500 2000 Post 1500 1000 500 0 94-95 95-96 96-97 97-98 98-99 99-00 00-01 01-02 02-03 03-04 04-05 05-06 Academic Years ODR Admin.
