3. What is PBIS?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success.

So what is this legislation getting at? Basically--- that a support system needs to exist that will provide the support necessary for ALL students to achieve. PBIS is a Response to Intervention model and has addressed many of the social and emotional needs of students as part of its mission. (NOTE: PBIS addresses “externalizers” because behavior is observable; however, it does not yet address issues with “internalizers” as this cannot be assessed through ODRs—this is one of the caveats to saying PBIS delivers SEL standards)
Tier 1/Universal Interventions %
All students
Preventive, proactive
80-90% Tier 1/Universal Interventions
All settings, all students

5. Levels and Descriptions of Behavior Support
1. School-wide
(Tier 1)
Procedures and processes intended for all
students, staff, in specific settings and across campus
2. Classroom
Processes and procedures that reflect school-wide expectations for student behavior coupled with pre-planned strategies applied within
classrooms
3. Target Group
(Tier 2)
Process and procedures designed to address behavioral issues of groups of students with similar behavior problems or behaviors that seem to occur for the same reasons (i.e. attention seeking, escape)
3. Individual-Student
(Tier 2 & 3)
Processes and procedures reflect school-wide expectations for student behavior coupled with team-based strategies to address problematic behaviors of individual students
Laura
The universal tier involves the whole schools as well as each and every classroom—which must be aligned to the school-wide system! Each school may have different specific supports but there must be a system of supports for each tier based on data analyses of the individual school.

Laura
This is a graphic representing the need to articulate clear outcomes; to build the systems to support the staff in trying to achieve the outcomes; to define and provide the necessary data sources and processes necessary for decision-making and problem solving; and to teach staff the practices necessary for them to implement to support student behavior. It is representative of the bringing together of systems thinking with the science of human behavior.

7. 5 School Wide Practices of PBIS
Define
3-5 Simple School-wide Expectations (Heart of a BARB)
Teach
Behaviors identified in Matrix
Remind
Clear In-the-Moment Reminders (common language)
Acknowledgements
Daily recognition – not currently in place (4:1ratio)
Weekly/quarterly grade-level/whole school celebrations (like Dodgeball)
Reteach
Classroom procedure for minor problem behaviors
Office Discipline Referral for major problem behaviors
Pre-correct often
Laura
Once systems have been addressed and a team is identified, these are universal practices that should become part of the repertoire of the staff as they are interacting with students. 7

8. School-wide Systems
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
Laura
Stress: Although most schools have a written code of conduct or discipline policy-- which is important-- it tends to focus on procedures for processing rule violations (#5 on the slide).
Effective school-wide discipline systems have a matching and strong proactive component that teaches and encourages pro-social behavior, and provides an on-going progress monitoring system.
The remaining five items are important but difficult to sustain without clear school-wide investments and structures in place. 8

PBIS Behavior Matrix is an overview of the behavioral expectations for the entire school.
The side row lists the various environments in the school building (hallway, cafeteria, playground, etc.) where the behaviors are taught, modeled, practiced, and acknowledged. Each of the boxes in the matrix include positively stated phrases about what each of the expectations look like and sound like in each environment.

Behavior T-Chart classifies behaviors as either "Teacher Managed Behaviors" or "Office Managed Behaviors." This makes it very clear when it is appropriate to send a student to the office or not.
