4 Misunderstandings that Can Block PBIS Implementation 1. Lack of Clarity about the purpose 2. Beliefs about positive reinforcement 3. Positive reinforcement is unnatural 4. Reinforcers irisEd Focus ™ June 2013

1.Lack of clarity about the purpose Is your staff doubting or asking why? Here's why... Punishment-oriented programs create a negative environment that affects success. Clarity of purpose…  Creates a positive culture,  Decrease disruption,  Increases academic engagement time & learning. 4 Misunderstandings that Can Block PBIS Implementation irisEd Focus ™ June 2013

2. Beliefs about positive reinforcement Some feel positive reinforcement is manipulative and/or damaging. The emotion-laden 'Good Job' praise is particularly concerning to them. > Use 'descriptive noticing’/neutral feedback. It's more effective at increasing desired behavior. Emotion-laden praise example: "John, I love the way you are paying attention." Descriptive noticing example: "John, I notice you are looking at the speaker." 4 Misunderstandings that Can Block PBIS Implementation irisEd Focus ™ June 2013

3. Positive reinforcement is unnatural  We are trying to increase desirable behavior by noticing desired behavior and ignoring minor inappropriate behavior. It's a challenging concept. For many staff members it will take sustained modeling and coaching to be successful. 4 Misunderstandings that Can Block PBIS Implementation irisEd Focus ™ June 2013

4. Reinforcers > You don't need costly prizes as reinforcers. Dump the junk from the prize box. Reinforcers should be activities. Quick and as close to free as possible. Go to recess 5 minutes early. Give a ticket to be first in line or eat lunch at a special table. 4 Misunderstandings that Can Block PBIS Implementation irisEd Focus ™ June 2013
