1. NES Great Expectations PBIS Professional Development August 10, 2012

2. Why Have Great Expectations?
“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” - Benjamin Franklin

3. Why Have Great Expectations?
“If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.”
-Henry Ford

4. Why Have Great Expectations?
“High expectations are the key to everything.” - Sam Walton

5. What is PBIS?
A school-wide POSITIVE Behavioral Intervention and Support
Evidence-based
Allows for acknowledgement of positive behavior
Consistent consequences for problem behavior

6. Why PBIS??
“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 to behave, we…
…teach? …punish?”
“Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?”
(Herner, 1998)

7. Why PBIS? Behaviors are prerequisites for academics
Procedures and routine create structure
Repetition is key to learning new skills:
For a child to learn something new, it needs to be repeated on average 8 times
For a child to unlearn an old behavior and replace it with a new behavior, the new behavior must be repeated on average 28 times

8. Why PBIS? We can no longer assume:
Students know the expectation/rules and appropriate ways to behave
Students will learn appropriate behaviors quickly and effectively without consistent practice and modeling

9. Why PBIS?
Students learn appropriate behavior in the same way a child who doesn’t know how to read learns to read- through instruction, practice, feedback, and encouragement.

36. Whole Brain Teaching What is it? Where do I start?
Research-based program for teaching and classroom management
Engaging the “whole brain”
Prefrontal Cortex- used to make decisions about adding "because", giving examples, being in charge of their learning
Motor Cortex- moving & gesturing to learn and practice a concept
Visual Cortex- posting purposeful signs in class, watching our partners gesture when we "Teach!" to help us see it as well as practice it
Broca's Area- teaching our partner, using our words to think critically (using "because", giving examples), mirroring with words
Wernicke's Area- still being used, but now in conjunction with sooooo much more of the brain!
Limbic System- all of this ties together and allows us all to have fun while learning! This engages our limbic system which makes it fun and ties it to our ling-term memory- yay!
Where do I start?
The rules
The core 4

37. The Rules Rule #1: Follow directions quickly
Rule #2: Raise your hand for permission to speak
Rule #3: Raise your hand for permission to leave your seat
Rule #4: Make smart choices
Rule #5: Keep your dear teacher happy!
The Rules

38. The Core 4
The Core 4 are the four main things you can incorporate into your class to implement Whole Brain Teaching quickly, effectively, and with immediate results each and every day. They are:
Class-Yes: bring class together
The Scoreboard: keep them motivated
Mirror: get them active
Teach-Okay: build community and be accountable for their learning.
Other good stuff:
Hands & Eyes: when you need to say the most important part of the lesson
Oh, yes-Mighty groan: engages students in scoreboard, helps you address positive and negative behaviors
