Expect the Great: How PBIS affects Student Behavior & Achievement Dr. April M. Shearer, School Counselor & PBIS Facilitator

K-W-L What do I know ? What do I want to know? What did I learn?

If a Child Doesn’t Know……. “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 how to behave, we…….. …………teach? ………..punish?”

Discipline vs. Punishment Discipline is…… Proactive Presented through consequences Control through inner values Fosters responsibility Punishment is…… Reactive Imposed by an authority figure External control Compliant behavior in the presence of authority

Discipline vs. Punishment cont. The word punishment means: “to inflict hurt” The word discipline means: “to teach” We discipline behavior….. We punish children…….. Discipline brings about long-term change Punishment gives immediate short-term control

The Science of Behavior Students are not born with “bad” behaviors Students must be directly taught “replacement” behaviors to learn better ways of behaving Students must be given specific POSITIVE feedback and opportunities to practice new behaviors in a variety of settings

What is Isable’s Philosophy on Discipline? We believe that children want to behave appropriately. We support consequences for actions. We positively reinforce good behavior.

Positive Behavior Intervention & Support PBIS is a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior.

What makes it work? Support from parents Support from school community Support from school staff Full “supportive” implementation
