Laurie Fogleman Kenwood High School PBIS: GETTING STARTED Laurie Fogleman Kenwood High School Selling your ideas is challenging. First, you must get your listeners to agree with you in principle. Then, you must move them to action. Use the Dale Carnegie Training® Evidence – Action – Benefit formula, and you will deliver a motivational, action-oriented presentation. 11/13/2018

Projected Outcomes: Reduction in referrals to the office Collection of discipline and behavior data to support effective decision making Creation of a positive school climate to support social and academic growth for all students Open your presentation with an attention-getting incident. Choose an incident your audience relates to. The incidence is the evidence that supports the action and proves the benefit. Beginning with a motivational incident prepares your audience for the action step that follows. 11/13/2018

“Musts” for a Solid Foundation Enthusiastic support from principal and administrative team Reasonable support from student, staff and parent leadership groups Technology to support the SWIS system Alignment with the school’s strategic and school improvement plan. Next, state the action step. Make your action step specific, clear and brief. Be sure you can visualize your audience taking the action. If you can’t, they can’t either. Be confident when you state the action step, and you will be more likely to motivate the audience to action. 11/13/2018

Build Your Team Core team members will make or break the change effort. Choose the team to assure: Representation from all subject areas Representation from all staff cohorts Inclusion of a trusted administrator, discipline guru, motivator To close, restate the action step followed by the benefits. Speak with conviction and confidence, and you will sell your ideas. 11/13/2018
