OUTCOMES
Administrators will take 5 minutes to complete a KWL chart about PBIS.. Please charts out your answers and be prepared to share out what you have with your school site..
We would like to take some time and review PBIS for two reason.. 1st its essential that we continue the work we started last years Dr. Molly McCabe and also in light of requirement for all sites to have discipline committees.

Creates and sustains safe school environments
Designed to reinforce positive student behaviors
Prevention and Planning for behavior problems
From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

4. What does PBIS look like in a school?
>80% of students can tell you what is expected of them & can give behavioral examples
Expected behavior has been explicitly taught & reinforced
Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed negative.
And if you to visit a PBIS school, this is what you would see –
More on each of these later in the presentation.

5. What does PBIS look like in a school?
Function based behavior support is foundation for addressing problem behavior.
All stakeholders are active participants.
Full continuum of behavior support is available to all students.
And if you to visit a PBIS school, this is what you would see –

6. Challenge # 2 –
Removing children from our schools is not the solution - If our only goal is to get rid of what’s bad – that will not work – we must work to build and cultivate cultures that support Positive Behaviors (social skills).
Sometimes the only strategy is to wait for summer and then HOPE that the kids will change over the summer – or not return -
We cannot suspend or expel all of the kids that do not follow rules – even if we put them out of school for a period of time, – they are coming back – we are required to educate them – must provide a Free and Appropriate Education (FAPE) until the age of 16 –
The fact is that adolescents rationalize differently than adults – they do not have a 2 year or 5 year horizon – so some of the things that they do – seem bizarre to us – but in the adolescent time frame – no problem !!
We need to find ways to create environments in which these kids can be successful. 6

Action planning
Data collection, analysis, and review

8. Systematic Academic and Behavioral Planning Supports Classroom Instruction
Tier 3: Intensive
SST/IEP Teams
Small groups or individual students; alternative programs and special education instruction and/or services
~ 1-5%
~5-15%
Tier 2: Targeted
Student Support Teams (SST)
Groups of students or individual students at risk;
screen and monitor;
case management,
student support plans,
504 plans
Tier 1: Universal
SIT and PBIS Teams as well as
Grade Level Teacher Meetings
All settings, all students; monitor and differentiate instruction; implement supplemental interventions
At your table agree upon three activities that should take place at tier I of an effective PBIS system at a school site?
Secondly identify ate least two strategic interventions that you current have or should have in tier II?
~80% of Students

9. Tier 1: All Students Strategies and Interventions
Teaching positive school-wide expectations
Positive acknowledgements for all
Active supervision in common areas
Classroom instruction in social skills
Assessment and Progress Monitoring
Discipline data ( data by location, time, type of problem, student)
Attendance/tardy data

Remember to start slow so that you can go fast later.. Next few slide will just provide tools for you to use with your teachers.. PBIS team or Discipline committee.
Think in terms of tier I, II and III as you brainstorm potential problems.. (Inconsistencies on campus in classrooms, few kids causing all the problems or some teachers allow kids to listen to music in their classes) Our kids don’t show proper respect or don’t take responsibility)
