Basic Components of
Positive Behavior Intervention
and Supports (PBIS)
Presented to Grayslake Central Staff
October 6, 2011
What is PBIS?
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.¹

In basic terms: PBIS helps establish school wide behavioral
expectations, reinforces students for meeting those expectations, and
creates specific support for those students who are not.

Question for the audience…
Simply put:
We get as good of a school social
climate as we demand…
Tier 1

•   Universal/
    Primary Level
    80%
       GOAL: To
        reduce new
        cases of
        problem
        behavior and/or
        academic
        failure

    Tier 1 allows us to work SMARTER not harder with our students!
    Universal expectations allow us to quickly identify students who may
    not know the rules versus those students who may need more
    attention.
Tier 1 Examples
   Teacher classroom
    behavior/management




All students in the school are exposed
to Tier 1 interventions
Tier 1 Examples
   Guidance Counselor




All students in the school are exposed to
Tier 1 interventions
Tier 1 Examples
   Link Crew




All students in the school are exposed
to Tier 1 interventions
Tier 2

•   Secondary
    Level
    15%
     GOAL: To
      reduce current
      cases of
      problem
      behavior and/or
      academic
      failure

Tier 2 weeds out the students who are “one and done” discipline issues
and allows for the PPS staff and faculty to offer support to those groups
of students who may have deeper concerns/issues in school
Tier 2 Examples
   Support Groups
   Change in school
    schedule (class
    order)
   Work Study
   ESL
   RAMS
   Reading Specialist
   Peer Mediation
Tier 2 Examples
                                                       Behavior Contract
                                                       Self-Evaluation
                                                       Mentoring
                                                       Check in/Check out
                                                       Attendance
                                                        Contract
                                                       Project Pass
                                                       SRO Home Visit
                                                       SAP

                                                       Social Work
Tier 3

•    Tertiary Level
     5%
       GOAL: To
        reduce
        complications,
        intensity,
        severity of
        students with
        chronic problem
        behavior and/or
        academic
        failure

    Tier 3 allows PPS and faculty to focus specifically on individual students
    (not groups as in Tier 2) who need additional support to be successful
Tier 3
 Behavior Intervention Plan
 Skills for Life
 Strategic Study Skills
 Modified schedule (Late start/early
  release)
 504 plan
PBIS in the School
High Schools vs. Elementary Schools

   High Schools are different
    ◦   Size
    ◦   Expectations
    ◦   Departmentalized staff
    ◦   Teams can be layered
    ◦   Implementation comes more slowly
   However, we need the same
    components
Elementary or High School
The fact remains that students are still
students, and they need positive adults
in their lives…
Trends in Discipline Practices
   Least Effective
    ◦ Punishment when used too often or
      without change
    ◦ Exclusion
Trends in Discipline Practices
   Most Effective
    ◦ Proactive school wide discipline systems
    ◦ Social skills instruction
Trends in Discipline Practices
   Most Effective
    ◦ Early screening and identification of
      behavioral patterns (data driven)
    ◦ Change of school wide culture/climate
How it works…
The basis of what PBIS will look like in your
building is partially dependent upon…

How Do We Use It?
1) State behavioral expectations
2) Specify student behaviors (define
 behavioral expectations)
3) Model appropriate student behaviors
4) Students practice appropriate
 behaviors
5) Acknowledge and reinforce
 appropriate behaviors

   wooden box located throughout school
The RAMS Way!
             Monthly Drawings
 4 students per month (one for each
  attribute)
 The student with the most Ram Bucks
  in each category will be recognized
 ◦
The RAMS Way!
           Monthly Drawings
 2 Teachers per month will be
  recognized
 Teacher names will be pulled from the
  Ram Bucks turned in by students
 The more you give out, the better
  chance you have of winning.

How will the students know?

   All staff will have a link to Rams Way
    video
How will the students know?
   Then there will be another video giving
    examples of the RAMS way:
Ok…quick quiz time…
Let’s Review
   In PBIS we DEFINE appropriate behaviors

   In PBIS we MODEL appropriate behaviors

   In PBIS we TEACH appropriate behaviors

   In PBIS we REINFORCE appropriate
    behaviors
No Worries…

   In PBIS we STILL have consequences
    for problematic behaviors
Where are we now?
 Continue ODR usage- WE COUNT
  ON THIS DATA!
 Continue focus on decreasing tardies
 Continue focus on hallway supervision
Where are we now?
 Implementing the RAM Bucks
 Implementing consistent reward
  system
 Increasing student awareness
Where are we now?
   Preparing for FULL launch next fall

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Also about changing ADULT behaviors
  • #6 Examples: STAR matrix, handbook guidelines, classroom expectations
  • #10 Targeted groups (grief groups),
  • #13 FBAs, BIPs
  • #17 Chat about it. Punishment does not teach the replacement behavior, kids learn how to act by being in school. Severe consequences may break the bond between home and school. Consequences are needed, but they need to be specific and effective. Suspending a student for not showing up to class?
  • #18 Chat about it. Punishment does not teach the replacement behavior, kids learn how to act by being in school. Severe consequences may break the bond between home and school. Consequences are needed, but they need to be specific and effective. Suspending a student for not showing up to class?
  • #19 Chat about it. Punishment does not teach the replacement behavior, kids learn how to act by being in school. Severe consequences may break the bond between home and school. Consequences are needed, but they need to be specific and effective. Suspending a student for not showing up to class?
  • #21 Talk specifically about how these expectations are chosen. How it effects the culture of the school (not just the students). Highlight the line “who you are” and stress that it means the culture and climate of the school.
  • #22 Talk specifically about how these expectations are chosen. How it effects the culture of the school (not just the students). Highlight the line “who you are” and stress that it means the culture and climate of the school.
  • #23 Talk specifically about how these expectations are chosen. How it effects the culture of the school (not just the students). Highlight the line “who you are” and stress that it means the culture and climate of the school.
  • #24 Talk specifically about how these expectations are chosen. How it effects the culture of the school (not just the students). Highlight the line “who you are” and stress that it means the culture and climate of the school.
  • #26 Take some time to talk about these specifics- The Star matrix is displayed EVERYWHERE in the schoolThe matrix helps determine who we are as a school and what we expect from everyone in it.
  • #27 Describe what Cool Tools are- give examples of what we have developed
  • #35 Prevention, pre-teaching, proactive approach- does not say that we don’t consequence for behaviors
  • #36 Followed by change in OUR behaviors and structures too, when students return to the classroom
