2. Why SW-PBIS?
Academic Engaged Time

3. Academic Learning Time: Typical School
School Year (6.5 hours x 180 days)
Absenteeism (1 day/month x 10 months)
= Attendance Time (Time in School)
Non-instructional time (1.5 hrs./day for recess, lunch, etc)
= Allocated Time (Time scheduled for teaching)
(25% of allocated time for administration, transition, discipline-15 minutes/hour)
= Instructional time (time actually teaching)
Time off task (Engaged 75% of time)
= Engaged Time (On task)
Unsuccessful Engaged Time (Success Rate 80%)
= Academic Learning Time
Efficiency Rating = 32%

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

5. 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!)

10. Preparing for Implementation
Plan Ahead
Be Ready for PBIS Kick-Off (First 2 weeks)
Obtain & Organize materials

Have “PBIS Kick Off” schedule ready to go
Might need to Schedule a Summer meeting to finalize plans for the Kick-off

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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
