Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports PBIS Team Review Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports SYSTEMS PRACTICES DATA OUTCOMES Administrators will take 5 minutes to complete a KWL chart about PBIS.. Please charts out your answers and be prepared to share out what you have with your school site.. We would like to take some time and review PBIS for two reason.. 1st its essential that we continue the work we started last years Dr. Molly McCabe and also in light of requirement for all sites to have discipline committees. ** PUHSD 10.07.13 From: Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) PBIS shared presentation

Objectives Provide an overview of PBIS essential components Assess the current status of site-based PBIS Team Identify next steps in the development of PBIS

PBIS School-wide behavior planning process Creates and sustains safe school environments Designed to reinforce positive student behaviors Prevention and Planning for behavior problems From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

What does PBIS look like in a school? >80% of students can tell you what is expected of them & can give behavioral examples Expected behavior has been explicitly taught & reinforced Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed negative. And if you to visit a PBIS school, this is what you would see – More on each of these later in the presentation. From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation 4

What does PBIS look like in a school? Function based behavior support is foundation for addressing problem behavior. All stakeholders are active participants. Full continuum of behavior support is available to all students. And if you to visit a PBIS school, this is what you would see – More on each of these later in the presentation. From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation 5

Challenge # 2 – Removing children from our schools is not the solution - If our only goal is to get rid of what’s bad – that will not work – we must work to build and cultivate cultures that support Positive Behaviors (social skills). Sometimes the only strategy is to wait for summer and then HOPE that the kids will change over the summer – or not return - We cannot suspend or expel all of the kids that do not follow rules – even if we put them out of school for a period of time, – they are coming back – we are required to educate them – must provide a Free and Appropriate Education (FAPE) until the age of 16 – The fact is that adolescents rationalize differently than adults – they do not have a 2 year or 5 year horizon – so some of the things that they do – seem bizarre to us – but in the adolescent time frame – no problem !! We need to find ways to create environments in which these kids can be successful. 6

Back to Basics: PBIS 101 Quick review of fundamental concepts Action planning Data collection, analysis, and review Strategic interventions From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Systematic Academic and Behavioral Planning Supports Classroom Instruction Tier 3: Intensive SST/IEP Teams Small groups or individual students; alternative programs and special education instruction and/or services ~ 1-5% ~5-15% Tier 2: Targeted Student Support Teams (SST) Groups of students or individual students at risk; screen and monitor; case management, student support plans, 504 plans Tier 1: Universal SIT and PBIS Teams as well as Grade Level Teacher Meetings All settings, all students; monitor and differentiate instruction; implement supplemental interventions At your table agree upon three activities that should take place at tier I of an effective PBIS system at a school site? Secondly identify ate least two strategic interventions that you current have or should have in tier II? ~80% of Students

Tier 1: All Students Strategies and Interventions Teaching positive school-wide expectations Positive acknowledgements for all Active supervision in common areas Classroom instruction in social skills Assessment and Progress Monitoring Discipline data ( data by location, time, type of problem, student) Attendance/tardy data Positive acknowledgements Why is the evaluative component built into to tier I? The goal is prevention and identifying problems early prior to them becoming critical. From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Tier 2: Targeted Group Strategies and Interventions Check in / Check out Social skill groups Mentoring programs Increased academic support practice Homework club Collaboration / communication with families Assessment and Progress Monitoring Data (IC) Student Support Plan data Behavior charts (DPRs) Check in / Check out data Attendance data What the difference between data in tier I vs. tier II? From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Tier 3: Intensive / Individual Strategies and Interventions Positive behavior intervention plan Individual support for academics and social skills Individual counseling Parent training and collaboration Multi-agency collaboration Assessment and Progress Monitoring Data identified by BIP Data (IC) Student Support Plan data Behavior charts (DPRs) Check in / Check out data From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

PBIS Involves a Continuous Process Define Identify the Problem PBIS Analyze Evaluate Data Based Decision-Making and Problem Solving Continuous Program Monitoring Remember to start slow so that you can go fast later.. Next few slide will just provide tools for you to use with your teachers.. PBIS team or Discipline committee. Think in terms of tier I, II and III as you brainstorm potential problems.. (Inconsistencies on campus in classrooms, few kids causing all the problems or some teachers allow kids to listen to music in their classes) Our kids don’t show proper respect or don’t take responsibility) Implement Evidenced-Based Interventions From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Framework for PBIS: Critical Elements PBIS Team Faculty Commitment Evaluation Procedures for Dealing with Discipline Crisis Plan As a school site if you were to select one or two critical elements that need to focus on next, which one would you select? Implementation Plan Data Entry and Analysis Expectations and Rules Rewards/ Recognitions Program Lesson Plans From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

First Step: Action Planning Review data from last year School Improvement Plan Discipline data Healthy Kids Survey Staff survey Identify critical features of your data From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Continue: Action Planning Identify areas of focus Make a plan Complete the PBIS Action Plan Use the action plan as a guide for the year From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

PBIS Action Plan Consistent with School Improvement Plan Performance Goal PBIS Critical Feature Key Actions (Actions/ Activities) Person Responsible Timeline Start/ Complete Measures Data Collection Implementation Status From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Data: Essential Questions How do you collect data? What data do you use? What do we do with the data? When do you know you have a problem? How often do you look at your data? How often is discipline data shared with staff? Questions What information do you already have? Attendance, suspension, office referrals, achievement scores, tardies, timeout/support room referrals What are the critical discipline issues in your building? Who, What, How Often, When, Where? Discipline data is collected to answer questions and offer solutions From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Discipline Data: Essential Questions How do you know what invention is needed? How many students contribute to your referrals? Are referrals coming from one grade, classroom, or area? Design your interventions to target your concerns What do we measure? How do we measure "it"? How often do we measure "it"? How do we know when we have success? How do we know when we need to make changes? Who do we share it with? How do we share it? Measure success From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Data Needs to be Your Friend Without data, you are just another person with an opinion….. From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Decision Making What is the most effective use of our resources to address this problem? From: BCPS PBIS shared presentation

Next Steps Reconvene PBIS Teams (Discipline Committees) Review your data Initiate process of action planning
