3. Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius on the Impact of PBIS
“It is truly remarkable that we can attribute a majority of the decreases in suspensions to schools using PBIS. These schools understand that suspensions are not an effective measure of discipline, and often cause a child to fall behind in class.”

4. State Level Updates
Impact of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports – PBIS
Schools implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) represent approximately 25 percent of Minnesota districts, yet account for approximately 62.1 percent of the decrease in suspensions!
PBIS praised by our Education Commissioner Cassellius:
“It is truly remarkable that we can attribute a majority of the decreases in suspensions to schools using PBIS. These schools understand that suspensions are not an effective measure of discipline, and often cause a child to fall behind in class. I want to thank Governor Dayton for recognizing the importance of this work and including it in his budget proposal.”
Education Minnesota President Denise Specht’s Statement:
“The program called ‘Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports’ has produced promising results in districts where it has been implemented with sufficient training and support for the teachers and other staff members.”

5. What does the use of data look like for Cohort 11??

District Priority
School Priority
Capacity Building
Team Use of Data

10. Reflection Questions-Data Decisions
Has your PBIS team been reviewing other sources of data on a regular basis?
If “yes”, what types of decisions have the data informed?
If “no”, how might the data inform decision-making?
What trends are apparent in your data (both strengths and weaknesses)?
What objective and measurable goals could be set for school improvement based on these data?
- Example, increase percentage of students feeling safe from 72% to 80% by 2007/2008 school year
What additional information could be used or collected to better understand these data?
How are you (or could you) sharing these data with school staff, parents, and students?
