3.  Build a continuum of supports that begins with the whole school and extends to intensive, wraparound support for individual students and their families.

4.  School-wide PBIS is:  A systems approach for establishing the social culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for all students.  Evidence-based features of SWPBIS  Prevention  Define and teach positive social expectations  Acknowledge positive behavior  Arrange consistent consequences for problem behavior  On-going collection and use of data for decision-making  Continuum of intensive, individual intervention supports.  Implementation of the systems that support effective practices

5.  Use the core messages of the multi-tiered prevention approach:  Invest in prevention first  Always build multiple levels of support  Adapt procedures to fit the local culture SWPBIS is about making schools more effective for ALL children: A commitment to building schools that are responsive to the culture, disabilities, learning needs, and behavior support needs of each child will begin with establishing a predictable, consistent, positive and safe social culture

17.  Never stop doing what already works Build from a commitment to student outcomes.

18.  Always look for the smallest change that will produce the largest effect Iterative cycles of change View comprehensive models with skepticism

19.  When adopting something new, define what you will STOP doing to create the resources for the new activity. All current activities can be defended. The issue is priority. The typical school has over a dozen “programs” to address the social behavior of students. Typically none are implemented with fidelity and few with effect. Glenn Latham

33.  Scaling up involves implementation of effective practices at a level that the practice becomes the “regular way of operating.”

34. Making SWPBIS the norm not just an initiative  District Policy stating value of student social behavior  School Improvement Plan lists social behavior of students as a core goal.  Annual Orientation : School-wide academic and behavior supports  Hiring : Competence in school-wide behavior support is an expected competence  Annual Evaluations: Include competence in school-wide behavior support as part of annual evaluations  Professional Development focused on school-wide systems of behavior support  Develop data systems for decision-making at the school level (literacy, behavior, math, writing).
