FAILURE SUCCESS 5 : 1 Prompting Student Behavior What parents, teachers, peers and others do to increase student success---the whole village!

5:1 ratio, it’s not just for kids ■ Business teams  High Performance teams = 5.6 to 1  Medium Performance teams = 1.9:1  Low Performance teams = 1 to 2.7 ■ Losada, 1999; Losada & Heaphy 2004 ■ Married couples that last  5.1 to for speech acts and 4.7 to 1 for observed emotions ■ Gottman, 1994

Gottman info. Predicted whether 700 newlywed couples would stay together or divorce by scoring their positive and negative interactions in one 15-minute conversation between each husband and wife. Ten years later, the follow-up revealed that they had predicted divorce with 94% accuracy. – Marriages that last: 5.1 to 1 for speech acts and 4.7 to 1 for observed emotions – Marriages likely to end in divorce: 1 (+) to1.3 (-) ratio likely to end up in divorce

It’s about the conversation…. “Sergio, thank you for picking up Jackie’s book for her you are being very Respectful. I want to recognize your good behavior with a Caught Being Good ticket, I really appreciate it when you follow the school rules.” Tell the student what specific positive behavior they were doing and what rule it is tied to.

I came to school this morning with the lessons from yesterday fresh in my mind. I decided that I would focus on positive behaviors today, and try and let the negative go away on its own. I started the day with a quick carpet talk, telling students how proud I was of all their good work and asking them to continue for today. I addressed a few issues but then if was off to work. I called students to my desk, or leaned over to talk to them every time I saw something respectful or helpful. At the end of the day, I sat at the carpet with them and asked if it was different today as compared to before I left. I had 20 hands fly up and the comments ranged from, “you were nice” to “you liked us.” Talk about immediate feedback. I am sure every day will have new challenges and one day is not forever, but I believe that the first step to having a great day is being positive. - George Kastanis, 3 rd grade teacher, John Still Elementary

Team Discussion What concerns might come up at your school regarding acknowledgement systems, incentives, etc? What ideas or questions do you have about how to address these concerns with staff?

Considerations when developing an acknowledgement ticket Easy for staff to use Limit writing….quick & easy! Link acknowledgement to a school rule ALL staff should use tickets ALL students should be able to access tickets & acknowledgement At least 50% of the students should be acknowledged every 2 months

“Thanks for Making Good Choices”

Frequently Asked Questions Should we track Positive Referrals? – Track it broadly, not individually Are teachers going through enough referral pads? Are grade levels invested in the system? How many should be given out? – Better to err on the side of more than less – Need to be genuine & verbally paired w/ reason, not handed out indiscriminately

Frequently Asked Questions Shouldn’t students be expected to do these things without being rewarded? 1)Sure, BUT students are bringing a varied set of experiences and skills to school, unfortunately some students may not get enough acknowledgment at home 2)How many of you feel you get acknowledged often enough for the work you do? 3)This system should not replace regular verbal praise and pats on the back for students …all this system provides in addition for most students is a small piece of paper 4)This system is as much to help remind the adults to catch kids doing the right thing in school… we get busy and too often get caught up focusing on predominantly negative behavior ▪(5 to 1 ratio)

Family Involvement Extending SW-PBIS into the Home

How can we involve families? Family representative (s) on PBIS team Regular PBIS updates in Parent Newsletter, Back to School Night; Introduction to PBIS Integration of PBIS into home

Try PBIS at Home 3 School Rules: – Manage Self, Respect Others and Solve Problems Responsibly Select a routine or setting in your home and begin to build your own matrix. For example, let’s take the routine – Doing homework. What would that behavior look like under each of the expectations? RoutineManage SelfRespect Others Solve Problems Responsibly Homework -Do homework from 4:30 - 5:30 everyday-Do work in study area-No TV or music-Do your best work- Use signal to indicate when help is needed. -Work quietly -Save questions until parent check in -Have all materials ready and organized -Skip difficult problems for help later

PBIS Tips for Home Encourage self-control by providing meaningful choices. Focus on the desired behavior, rather than the one to be avoided. Build children's images of themselves as trustworthy, responsible and cooperative. Expect the best from the child. Say "Yes" whenever possible. Notice and pay attention to children when they do things right. Take action before a situation gets out of control. Set clear, consistent rules. Make certain the environment is safe and worry-free. Show interest in the child's activities. Provide appropriate and engaging playthings. Give clear directions, one at a time. Encourage children often and generously. Set a good example. Help children see how their actions affect others. Tips for Schools on How to Involve Families - Rev , Illinois PBIS Network
