BUY IN I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Thomas Edison

Continual Dip Stick- Not Just One and Done. ■Feedback Loop: PBIS Team Members take 'data informed' questions out to staff for input/feedback and suggestions and then we ACT on this information. ■Firm Foundation: Our stability as a PBIS team gives us opportunities to explore enhancements to our systems. ■Continued Committed Time for PBIS. Staff Meetings continued focus even five years later. ■Established Team and Focus: Teachers sign up for this committee. Embedded in our Site Plan Annually.

TEAM WORK You are the most talented, most interesting, and most extraordinary person in the universe. And you are capable of amazing things. Because you are the Special. And so am I. And so is everyone. Emmet ‘The Lego Movie’ 2014

Critter Tree: Classroom to School-Wide Celebration

TIERED SUPPORTS Sometimes you have to go through things...not around them.

Laying the Foundation ■Ensuring Tier One Behavioral Supports are implemented consistently across settings. –Language –Reinforces for students (Critter Cards) –Expectations are taught for every setting consistently –Expectations are present in every part of the building. –For Universal Students-Staff Response is consistent ■Behavioral ticket process is outlined on back of ticket. **Tier One is for everybody...including our Tier Two and Three Students.***

Accountability: Tier One ■Lessons embedded into Curriculum Map ■PBIS OneNote: –Lessons –Social Stories –Videos –Schedule for Teaching Lessons in Environments –SMART Board Lessons with hands on activities for practice and review

Accountability: What Gets Monitored-Gets Done. ■RtI Team: –Reviews SWIS data (Major Referrals) –Reviews Student Specific Concerns –Looks at Attendance, Academic Data points –Makes Recommendations for Tier Two Interventions –Reviews Tier Two/Three Students Bi-Weekly and Makes Adjustments as Needed. –Coach-Social Worker-Administrator on both teams.

Establish Time for Learning Work ■With Foundation in Place we had an opportunity to look ways to support our Tier One and Two Students ■Multiple conference calls, site visits and reviewed literature to determine a 'just right fit' for our school and students. ■Check In Check Out (CICO) was piloted in Spring of 2015 with Administrator, Social Worker, and Intervention Teacher. ■After review of data and discussions with MDE-full implementation of CICO occurred during school year. ■Position was created to support full implementation with fidelity.

PROCESS Hold the Vision….Trust the Process Author Unknown

We Don’t REACT to Isolated Incidents- We RESPOND to Data. ■Take the ‘Gut’ out of decision making. –Review SWIS data –Environmental observations –Feedback from stakeholders ■Examples: –Change in Parent Drop Off/Bus Dismissal –Unannounced Fire Drills and Code Red –Lunchroom Voice Volume and Flow into cafeteria.

Process is not Person dependent. ■PBIS Agenda’s are available to all team members. ■Take Away information is written on shared document so we are consistent with message back to staff. ■Multiple support team members share out so information doesn’t just come from one person. –Para Trainings –Staff Meeting Share Outs. –Role of Coach, Admin, and Other Stakeholders.

ARE WE BETTER FIVE YEARS LATER? Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much. Hellen Keller

What We Have Learned. ■Creating an environment where every staff member is heard. ■PBIS Team is dynamic. Membership changes so we can grow in understanding and apply new ideas. ■Take time to build a strong Tier One. ■Administrator buy-in. ■Do your research-seek out other schools and resources. ■Make sure whatever you do is a good fit for your school. ■Keep it positive. ■Take risks and recognize it is okay to fail.
