SWPBS is about….
Improving
classroom &
school climate
Integrating
Decreasing
academic &
reactive
behavior
management
initiatives
Improving
support for
students w/
EBD
Maximizing
academic
achievement
Role of School Psychologist
PURPOSE
Enhance capacity of
school teams to
provide the best
behavioral supports for
all students and
maximize academic &
social achievement.
OUTCOME OBJECTIVES
• Rationale for adopting proactive
systems approach to improving school
climate
• Features of School-wide Positive
Behavior Support
• Examples of SWPBS implementation
• Samples of Outcome Data
“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
SW-PBS Logic!
Successful individual student
behavior support is linked to
host environments or school
climates that are effective,
efficient, relevant, & durable for
all students
(Zins & Ponti, 1990)
Messages Repeated!
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
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT
PREVENTING VIOLENCE?
• Positive, predictable school-wide
climate
• Surgeon General’s
Report on Youth
Violence (2001)
• Formal social skills instruction
• Coordinated Social
Emotional &
Learning
(Greenberg et al.,
2003)
• Positive active supervision &
reinforcement
• Center for Study &
Prevention of
Violence (2006)
• Positive adult role models
• White House
Conference on
School Violence
(2006)
• High rates of academic & social
success
• Multi-component, multi-year
school-family-community effort
SWPBS

Family
Non-classroom
Student
School-wide
1. Common purpose & approach to discipline
2. Clear set of positive expectations & behaviors
3. Procedures for teaching expected behavior
4. Continuum of procedures for encouraging
expected behavior
5. Continuum of procedures for discouraging
inappropriate behavior
6. Procedures for on-going monitoring &
evaluation
Non-classroom
• Positive expectations & routines
taught & encouraged
• Active supervision by all staff
– Scan, move, interact
• Precorrections & reminders
• Positive reinforcement

– Planned/unplanned
– Desirable/undesirable
• W/o formal feedback to encourage
desired behavior, other forms of
feedback shape undesired behaviors

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
Reinforcement Wisdom!
• “Knowing” or saying “know” does
NOT mean “will do”
• Students “do more” when “doing
works”…appropriate & inappropriate!
• Natural consequences are varied,
unpredictable, undependable,…not
always preventive
“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.

What does SWPBS look like?
• >80% of students can tell you what is expected of
them & give behavioral example because they have
been taught, actively supervised, practiced, &
acknowledged.
• Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed negative
• Function based behavior support is foundation for
addressing problem behavior.
• Data- & team-based action planning &
implementation are operating.
• Administrators are active participants.
• Full continuum of behavior support is available to all
students

90-School Study
Horner et al., in press
• Schools that receive technical assistance from
typical support personnel implement SWPBS
with fidelity
• Fidelity SWPBS is associated with
▫ Low levels of ODR
▫ .29/100/day v. national mean .34
▫ Improved perception of safety of the school
▫ reduced risk factor
▫ Increased proportion of 3rd graders who meet state
reading standard.
Project Target: Preliminary Findings
Bradshaw & Leaf, in press
• PBIS (21 v. 16) schools reached & sustained high
fidelity
• PBIS increased all aspects of organizational health
• Positive effects/trends for student outcomes
– Fewer students with 1 or more ODRs (majors + minors)
– Fewer ODRs (majors + minors)
– Fewer ODRs for truancy
– Fewer suspensions
– Increasing trend in % of students scoring in advanced &
proficient range of state achievement test

After implementing SW-PBS,
Principal at Jesse Bobo

“I like it here.”
Over past 3 years, 0 teacher
requests for transfers

With minutes reclaimed from
improvements in proactive SW
discipline, elementary school
invests in improving schoolwide literacy.
Result: >85% of students in 3rd
grade are reading at/above
