8. What’s new in the world of Pbis?

9. Importance of School Climate
California Law – AB 1729
Ammiano. Pupil rights: suspension or expulsion: alternatives and other means of correction.

10.
“Even though national rates of school violence have decreased overall, too many schools are still struggling to create the nurturing, positive, and safe environments that we know are needed to boost student achievement and success…. To meet our goal of preparing all students for college, careers, and civic life.”
2014

11. California Assembly Bill 1729
“This bill would authorize a school district to document the other means of correction used and place that documentation in the pupil’s record. The bill would also specify that other means of correction include, but are not limited to, among other things, a positive behavior support approach with tiered interventions that occur during the school day on campus, a conference between school personnel, the pupil’s parent or guardian, and the pupil, participation in a restorative justice program, and after-school programs that address specific behavioral issues or expose pupils to positive activities and behaviors.”

25. Important Things to Remember
You are the coach; you are not the Team
As a Coach, your job is to make it as easy as possible for the teams to be successful in developing & implementing SW PBIS, but not to do it for them
Your job is to build capacity and expertise in the building – essentially to work yourself out of a job
This means you should not facilitate PBIS Team meetings at the school sites, unless you are modeling how to lead an effective meeting
Build Capacity
I Do – We Do – You Do

33. PBIS Café Presents: Coaching to build sustainability

34. Why PBIS World Café?

35. Café-style conversations
Overview

36. Create a welcoming environment
Step 1: Small, round tables, candy, colorful markers, flip chart paper, sticky notes.

37. Begin with small table groups
Step 2: We begin at small tables. One person is designated as ‘ table host.’ Others number off one through three. Note the flip chart pages posted on the wall. We want to track creative doodling.

38. ? ? ? Pose an authentic question….
Step 3: We don’t know the answers to authentic questions --- the dialogue takes us on a journey toward meaning.
Questions should generate light, not heat.
Pose an authentic question….

39. As you share ideas . . . Doodle, Draw, Take notes
Throughout: Use the table cloth for your doodles. If you find you’re waving your hands around while you talk, put a marker between your fingers and draw, doodle, note. No ‘air doodling.’
Doodle, Draw, Take notes

40. LISTEN for connections patterns new ideas deeper questions
Throughout: You never know what will emerge, but you have to listen.
new ideas

41. Step 4: Go to a new table to discover new ideas, questions, insights
Table hosts stay put and summarize the insights for the next group.
Cross-Pollinate

42. Carry insights to the next table
When you change groups, carry the ideas from your previous table. Don’t bring your own baggage/agenda. Also mention “talking stones.” (If one person dominates the talk, then have an object --- I use the Remember stones --- that a person must hold to be allowed to talk.
Carry insights to the next table

43. Repeat the process
Step 5: You can change two or three times, depending on the time constraints.

44. Assemble our collective wisdom and share…
Step 6: After several rounds we gather as one and put our thoughts together. There are any number of ways to do this: use post-it notes to record ‘big ideas’ and put them on a separate sheet of flip chart paper; all-group discussion (with recorder); gallery walk of the doodle sheets; etc.
