16. FULL IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE: CLEVELAND COUNTY

18. 23 rd Largest School System 20 th Largest in Number of EC Students 63.97% Free and Reduced Lunch 29 Schools (16 elementary, 2 intermediate, 4 middle, 4 high, 1 ECHS, 1 special purpose, 1 alternative and 2 18-21 post- school programs)

19.  19 of the 29 schools in CCS Practice PBIS  2 High Schools  2 Middle Schools  2 Intermediate Schools  12 Elementary Schools  1 Alternative School

20.  All CCS Schools were awarded some level of PBIS State Recognition in 2014-15  7 Exemplar Schools  10 Model Schools  2 Green Ribbon Schools

21.  Increase the days of PBIS Module 1 Training (5-7)  Allow PBIS team time to create PBIS required materials DURING the PBIS training days  Use Professional Learning Communities (PLC) to train school staff about PBIS  Provide Teacher Assistants Training in Behavior Management and PBIS  Allow all school staff to vote on whether or not their schools implement PBIS

22.  Crest Middle School  North Elementary School

23.  Administrators & School Staff CHOOSE to be trained in PBIS Module 1  Module 1 Training is completed in 5-7 days spread out from September to May  PBIS LEA Coordinator trains each school INDIVIDUALLY to ensure their needs are met

24.  Specific implementation examples from CCS are added to the DPI PBIS Module 1 material (matrix, lesson plans, newsletters, etc.)  PBIS teams choose 1-3 currently implementing PBIS schools to visit and explore their PBIS implementation practices  LEA PBIS Coordinator arranges the school visits and helps facilitate the process

25.  PBIS Module 1 Training by the LEA Trainer is completed in the MORNING of each training day- AFTERNOON training sessions are used to create specific module 1 requirements  PBIS matrix of expected behaviors  Social skill lesson plans  Behavior discipline decision tree  Office discipline referral form  Creating training to teach ALL staff members about PBIS implementation  How to communicate to parents about PBIS  

26.  PBIS team members use existing PLC times to train staff about PBIS and to gain their input  LEA PBIS Coordinator assists PBIS team in creating the training materials for the PLC  LEA PBIS Coordinator’s role in the PLC is different at each school

27.  Teacher Assistant Buy-In is crucial for successful PBIS implementation at all schools  Specific behavior management and PBIS training is provided to all Teacher Assistants  Teacher Assistants are taken away from their classroom duties to attend the training  Effort is made to make them feel appreciated (lunch provided, drawings for prizes, etc.)

28.  After a full year of PBIS training, the school votes to determine whether they will implement PBIS the following school year  80% of staff must vote YES to proceed with PBIS implementation  100% of our schools have voted YES to implement PBIS
