Why SW-PBIS? Academic Engaged Time

Academic Learning Time: Typical School 1170 School Year (6.5 hours x 180 days) - 65 Absenteeism (1 day/month x 10 months) = 1105 Attendance Time (Time in School) - 270 Non-instructional time (1.5 hrs./day for recess, lunch, etc) = 835 Allocated Time (Time scheduled for teaching) - 209 (25% of allocated time for administration, transition, discipline-15 minutes/hour) = 626 Instructional time (time actually teaching) - 157 Time off task (Engaged 75% of time) = 469 Engaged Time (On task) - 94 Unsuccessful Engaged Time (Success Rate 80%) = 375 Academic Learning Time Efficiency Rating = 32% Education Resources Inc., 2005

Academic Learning Time: Effective School 1170 School Year (6.5 hours x 180 days) - 65 Absenteeism (1 day/month x 10 months) = 1105 Attendance Time (Time in School) - 270 Non-instructional time (1.5 hrs./day for recess, lunch, etc) = 835 Allocated Time (Time scheduled for teaching) - 125 (15% of allocated time for administration, transition, discipline-9 minutes/hour) = 710 Instructional time (actually teaching-710 vs. 626) - 71 Time off task (Engaged 90% of time) = 639 Engaged Time (639 vs. 469 On task) - 64 Unsuccessful Engaged Time (Success Rate 90%) = 575 Academic Learning Time Efficiency Rating = 49% Education Resources Inc., 2005

The Difference: Typical vs. Effective Schools Unallocated Non-Instructional Time 75% vs. 85% = 84 more hours Difference in 15 minutes vs. 9 minutes/hour Teaching expectations, teaching transitions, managing appropriate and inappropriate behavior efficiently Engagement Rate 75% vs. 90% = 86 more hours Management of groups, pacing Success Rate 80% vs. 90% = 30 more hours Appropriate placement, effective teaching So what? 200 hours more academic learning time (575 vs. 375) 53% more ALT 95 more days in school (4-5 more months of school!)

PBIS Handbook & Planning for Implementation

PBIS Handbook What to include: PBIS summary & rationale School Rules & Posters Expectations Grid Lesson plans Schedule for teaching expectations Acknowledgment system Example tickets & description of system Responding to Misbehavior Office referral system Classroom v. Office Managed Behavior Suggested Interventions

Preparing for Implementation Plan Ahead Be Ready for PBIS Kick-Off (First 2 weeks) Obtain & Organize materials Rules Posters, Acknowledgment tickets, handbook Have “PBIS Kick Off” schedule ready to go Might need to Schedule a Summer meeting to finalize plans for the Kick-off

Kick-off Assembly Make it FUN & memorable for students & staff Introducing School rules & Programs Should be more than 1 day/ 1 assembly, make part of every day for the first 2-3 weeks Use the talents of people in school Develop a Schedule for Teaching Expectations Teach expectations & routines across settings Particularly recess & cafeteria

Training Staff for Implementation Plan Ahead Schedule time during Pre-service week to train staff on PBIS implementation Teach a Behavioral Lesson to staff, so they can understand what it will look like Make the lesson fun and engage staff (still working on buy-in & creating a buzz) Model lesson as if you’re teaching it to students OR teach Safe/Responsible & Respectful in staff lunchroom Also use the lesson to help them understand what student lessons will look like

Team Tasks Develop a timeline for completing remaining task Plan for organizing & developing PBIS Handbook Develop schedule for PBIS Kick-Off & Back to School calendar Develop plan for preparing & training staff for PBIS Roll-out and implementation Staff PBIS training in August Demonstrate teaching lessons to staff
