problems (Newton, et al, 2009)
Problem
Problem identification
Problem solving
An approach to developing interventions and
ensuring positive student outcomes, rather
than determining failure or deviance (Deno,
1995)

What are common
problems in schools?
14
Contributing Factor: NC Suspension
Trends
15
NC School Crime & Violence Trends
16
Contributing Factor: School Discipline
Zero Tolerance Policies associated with:
lower achievement (Rausch, Skiba, & Simmons,
2004)
higher rates of dropout (Bowditch, 1993)
high rates of recidivism (Tobin, Sugai, &
Colvin,1996)
emerging evidence: strengthens school-toprison pipeline by criminalizing student
misbehavior (Advancement Project, 2000;
17
Wald & Losen, 2003)
NC: Dropouts
18
Contributing Factor:
Suspensions & Dropouts
One year’s class of dropouts costs NC $1.3 billion
in corrections and welfare
(NC Child Advocacy Institute, 2005)
Three years after leaving school, 70% of
antisocial youth have been arrested
(Walker, Colvin, & Ramsey, 1995)
82% of crimes are committed by people who
have dropped out of school
(APA Commission on Youth Violence, 1993)
19
Why Positive Behavior Intervention
and Support?
20
Typical School Responses:
Foster environments of external control
Shift accountability away from school
Reinforce antisocial behavior
Weaken the relationship between academic
and social behavior programming
Fail to consider other factors, such as
language, cultural differences, disability, etc
21
Contributing Factor:
Poverty & Language
Approximately one year (11-18 months)
 Children in poverty—hear 250,000 words per
year
 Children in homes of professionals—hear 4
million words per year
(Hart & Risley, 1995)
22
Contributing Factor:
Poverty & Language
Affirmative statements
Professional—30 per hour
Working class—15 per hour
Poverty—6 per hour (prohibition twice as
often as affirmative feedback)
(Hart & Risley, 1995)
23
Contributing Factor:
Poverty & Language
“To keep the confidence-building experiences
of welfare children equal to those of working
class children, the welfare children would
need to be given 1,100 more instances of
affirmative feedback per week…” (p.201).
“It would take 26 hours per week of
substituted experience for the average
welfare child’s experience with affirmatives to
equal that of the average working-class child”
(p. 202).
(Hart & Risley, 1995) 24

Traditional Discipline vs. PBIS
Traditional
Discipline:
Δ Focuses on the
student’s problem
behavior
Δ Goal is to stop
undesirable
behavior through
the use of
punishment
Positive Behavior
Intervention &
Support:
Δ Replaces undesired
behavior with a new
behavior or skill
Δ Alters environments,
teaches appropriate
skills, and rewards
appropriate behavior

What is PBIS?
36
What is PBIS?
“…a framework or approach
comprised of intervention practices
and organizational systems for
establishing the social culture,
learning and teaching environment,
and individual behavior supports
needed to achieve academic and
social success for all students.”

Overview
Purpose of the SET
The School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) is designed to assess and evaluate the critical features of schoolwide effective behavior support across each academic school year. The SET results are used to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
assess features that are in place,
determine annual goals for school-wide effective behavior support,
evaluate on-going efforts toward school-wide behavior support,
design and revise procedures as needed, and
compare efforts toward school-wide effective behavior support from year to year.
Information necessary for this assessment tool is gathered through multiple sources including review of
permanent products, observations, and staff (minimum of 10) and student (minimum of 15) interviews or
surveys. There are multiple steps for gathering all of the necessary information. The first step is to identify
someone at the school as the contact person. This person will be asked to collect each of the available
products listed below and to identify a time for the SET data collector to preview the products and set up
observations and interview/survey opportunities. Once the process for collecting the necessary data is
established, reviewing the data and scoring the SET averages takes two to three hours.

Recruiting Staff Commitment
93
Recruiting Staff Commitment
Faculty must be committed to decreasing
problem behaviors and increasing academic
performance.
Staff commitment is essential
Must have the majority of faculty and staff
implementing to ensure sustainability
Remember: this is a 3-5 year process
94
Challenges to Recruiting Staff
Commitment
Reasons for making changes are not perceived
as compelling enough
Staff feel a lack of ownership in the process
Insufficient modelling from leadership
Staff lack a clear vision of how the changes will
impact them personally
Insufficient system of support
Lack of knowledge about behavior interventions
95
Solutions for Recruiting Staff
Commitment
Develop a plan for building faculty buy-in:
Encourage questions and discussion
Provide opportunities for staff to participate in
the development of expectations, etc.
Provide sufficient staff development to give
faculty needed skills
Provide incentives for staff to participate
Build consensus around common values
96
Solutions for Recruiting Staff
Commitment

School-Wide Expectations
112
What are School-wide Expectations?
A list of specific, positively stated behaviors
that is desired of all faculty and students
Should be in line with the school’s mission
statement and should be taught to all
faculty, students, and parents
113
Guidelines for Identifying
Expectations
Identify behaviors expected of all students and
all staff in all settings
Select 3 to 5 behaviors
State expectations in positive terms
Select expectations that are general enough to
be applicable in multiple settings, but specific
enough to be of assistance in generating rules
for targeted settings
114
Clearly Define Expected Behaviors
 Define expectations
 State positively and succinctly
 Keep to five or fewer

Expectations
vs.
Rules
121
How Are Expectations and Rules
Similar?
 Both should be limited in number (3-5)
 Both should be positively stated
 Both should be aligned with the school’s
mission statement and policies
 Both should clarify the criteria for successful
performance
122
How Are Expectations and Rules
Different?
 Expectations are broadly stated
 Expectations apply to all people in all
settings
 Expectations describe the general
ways that people should behave
123
Differences (continued)
Rules describe specific behaviors
- Observable
- Measurable
Rules may apply to a limited number
of settings
Rules clarify behaviors for specific settings
124
Which Ones Are Expectations?
Which Ones Are Rules?
Be considerate
Place food items in their proper containers
Remain seated during instruction
Keep all four legs of your chair on the floor
125
What Is Gained by Identifying Rules?
Allows for teaching behavioral expectations in
specific settings
Uniform instruction across multiple programs
and settings within the school
Consistent communication among staff
members and parents
Legal, ethical, and professional accountability

Why Develop Behavior Lesson Plans?
“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?
………punish?”
“Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically
as we do the others?”
134
John Herner, Counterpoint (1998, p.2)
Why Develop Behavior Lesson Plans?

student diversity
To proactively address skill

Two Levels of Instruction
Level 1: Concept Development (Expectations)
Broad expectations
Applicable to all settings
Level 2: Skills (Rules)
Observable behaviors
Rules for specific settings
138
Teaching and Reinforcing Behaviors
Use your matrix to create a common
language
Language must be consistent in order to
create consistency
Otherwise, students will still have to learn
many different definitions for each
expectation
139
The Power of Two Letters
Language is powerful
That’s why we define expectations -- so we
can teach what they mean
Use the matrix to teach what the
expectations look like using the word “by”

Behavioral Correction
“By… tells me…”
By touching your neighbor, it tells
me we should review where you are
seated.
By putting your hands on the walls,
it tells me we must review the
hallway expectations again.
142
Correct Student Behavior Errors
 Signal that an error has occurred
 Refer to rules
 Ask for an alternative appropriate
response
 Provide an opportunity to practice the
skill
 Provide verbal feedback
143
Corrections
Help students to take responsibility for
their own behavior:
“What are you doing?”
“What should you be doing?”
“Show me.”
144
Points to Remember
Describe specific, observable behaviors for
each expectation
Analyze all the steps required to complete a
task
Teach the behaviors in the setting where
the behaviors are expected to occur
145

Acknowledgement System
148
Why Develop a School-wide
Acknowledgement System?
Increases the likelihood that desired
behaviors will be repeated
Focuses staff and student attention on
desired behaviors
Fosters a positive school climate
Reduces the need for engaging in time
consuming punitive disciplinary measures
149
Goals of Acknowledgement
Create a learning environment where students
are engaged and successful
Teach, support, and encourage students to be
“self-managers”
Help students generalize the skills they learn in
school to life experiences beyond school
(Horner, 2009)
150
Challenges
Use of rewards is seen by faculty members as:
Expensive
Time consuming/effortful
Unnecessary
Inappropriate
Fine for elementary school but ineffective and
inappropriate in middle or high school
(Horner, 2009)
151
What Do We Know?
Rewards are effective when:
Used to build new skills or sustain desired
skills
Delivered contingent upon specific
behavior
Faded gradually over time
(Akin-Little, Eckert, Lovett, & Little, 2004)
152
Main Messages: Acknowledgement
Rewards are a core feature of building a
positive school culture
Rewards make a difference
Initial behavior change
Sustained behavior change (Doolittle, 2006)
Rewards do NOT inhibit intrinsic motivation
However , they can be used inappropriately
Rewards can be used effectively in all school
contexts
(Horner, 2009)
153
Acknowledgement Guidelines
Acknowledge frequently in the beginning
Acknowledgement should be contingent on
students engaging in the desired behavior(s)
Refrain from taking back a reinforcer that has
been earned, or threatening the loss of
reinforcement
Students should be eligible to earn
acknowledgement throughout the day
154
Acknowledgement Guidelines
Keep ratios of reinforcement to correction high
(4:1) (Walker, Ramsey, & Gresham, 2004)
Involve all staff in implementing your school’s
reinforcement system
Develop a data based system for monitoring
and documenting appropriate behaviors
Involve students to help develop meaningful
reinforcers
155
Procedures for Encouraging Expected
Behaviors
Identify expectations student met
Sincere verbal feedback
Accurate, specific, & descriptive
Deliver reinforcement
Tangible to intrinsic
External to internal
Frequent to infrequent
Predictable to variable
Developmentally appropriate
156
Acknowledgement Example
Reward the “behavior” not the “person”
Say this: “You were working hard, on-task
and quiet during independent seat
work…that is respectful of others trying to
get their work done… nice job.”
Rather than: “You are selected as student of
the week. Congratulations!”

166
Defining Problem Behavior
Problem behaviors must be operationally
defined
What one teacher may consider disrespectful
may not be disrespectful to another teacher
All faculty, staff, administration, students, and
families must be trained on the definitions
167
It’s time to play…

168
Looking At The Big Picture!
Instructional Time Lost for Students
Each minor incident takes an administrator
about 25 minutes to process
Students are losing instructional time when
minor incidents are handled in the office
Classes are interrupted whenever the
teacher has to write up a student and get
him/her to the office
169
Minor Discipline Incidents
Defined
Discipline incidents that can be handled by the
classroom teacher; usually do not warrant a
discipline referral to the office.
Example: tardiness to class, lack of classroom
materials, incomplete classroom assignments,
gum chewing, etc.
Purpose
To determine appropriate consequences and where
the consequences should be delivered
170
Major Discipline Incidents
Resources
Page 28
Defined
Discipline incidents that must be handled by
the administration. These may include but
are not limited to: physical fights, property
damage, drugs, weapons, tobacco, etc.
Purpose
Once problem behaviors are operationally
defined, it is essential that the team
distinguish the major discipline incidents
from the minor to determine the appropriate
171
consequences
Activity:
Defining Problem Behavior
1. Assess current practices
2. Categorize common problem behaviors
3. Identify action steps

Developing a
Discipline Referral Process
173
Considerations for Developing
a Referral Process
When does a recurring behavior become a major?
• Re-teaching the behavior ineffective?
• From one particular teacher?
• Time frame?
Look at patterns of behavior
• What are the recurring behaviors?
• When are the behaviors occurring?
• What is the motivation for the behavior?
• What interventions have been used?
174
The Next Step:
Discipline Referral Process
Discipline Referral Process: This process must
be defined, taught, and agreed upon with all
staff and must include definitions for:
major discipline incidents
minor discipline incidents
emergency or crisis incidents
a continuum of discipline procedures

A Closer Look at Office
Discipline Referral Processes/Forms
Schools must have a coherent system in place to collect
office discipline referral data
 Agreement on major/minor behavior categories and
the referral process
 The office discipline referral form should include:
Name & grade, date, time, location
Staff: Homeroom and referring staff
Problem behavior and possible motivation
Administrative decision/outcome

Sample Action Item
One school’s survey data showed that many staff marked “Data on
problem behaviors are collected and summarized within an
ongoing system” as both “not in place” and a high priority for
improvement. Since the school had a data management plan, the
team decided the issue was really about staff awareness. They
created the following action item.

Sample Action Item
One school’s implementation inventory yielded a score of 61% in
universal practices. All the items marked 1 or 0 were about specific
teaching of school wide expectations. They also noted a need to
improve non classroom setting routines from the Staff Assessment
survey. The following action item was developed.
