Critical Components Commit to a common purpose and approach to discipline— creating a safe and welcoming culture that includes student voice and family/community involvement Establish and maintain team… with administrator support, participation and leadership Establish a clear set of positive expectations and behaviors Establish procedures for teaching expected behavior Establish a continuum of procedures for encouraging expected behaviors Establish a continuum of procedures for discouraging inappropriate behaviors Establish a system for using data to make decisions, progress monitor, and problem-solve 2

3. Is everyone on board your MBI train?

4. ENCOUNTERING STAFF RESISTANCE…? MBI 1

5. Obtaining staff commitment can sometimes be a daunting task… HISTORICALLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES… TEACHERS ALREADY HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TO ADD “ONE MORE THING”

6. ONE COMMON RESPONSE.. “The principal should MAKE them…” WHAM!!! 1

7. DOESN’T WORK WITH KIDS.. Won’t work with adults either 1

8. SUPPORTING SOCIAL COMPETENCE AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

9. THE BEHAVIORALLY DISORDERED… NOPE, NOT DOING IT! ME EITHER!

10. THE THREATENED… Asking for something beyond their skill set Feel they “should” know and might get “in trouble” 2

11. EXPERIENCES WE FACE WHEN IMPLEMENTING MBI

12. Maybe They Feel Like This… High above the crowd, Rex tried to remain focused. Still, he couldn’t shake one nagging thought: He was an old dog and this was a new trick.

13. The Jimmy Crack Corn Syndrome… and I don’t care… Do the bare minimum Unfortunately…reinforced by the system 2

14. THE OVERWHELMED… MAJORITY Too much work One more thing Don’t think it will work anyhow

15. ASK “WHY?”  What are they thinking? 1

16. It works for the staff, too. 3-5% INDIVIDUALS (FEW) 10-15% TARGETED GROUPS (SOME) 80% UNIVERSALS (MOST). Remember the triangle?... Research indicates that effective teams have full support and participation from at least 80% of staff. 2

17. So what DO you do when some teachers are refusing to play the game?

18. MAKE SURE THEY SEE THE “BIG PICTURE”  The goal is to establish a positive school climate that maximizes TEACHING and LEARNING 1

19. IF YOUR STAFF IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH MBI/PBIS  Show all staff one of two videos: “Discovering School-Wide MBI: Moving Toward a Positive Future” or “Creating the Culture of Positive Behavior Supports ”

20. TALK ABOUT THE NEED… Is there problem behavior? What are the problems? 2 So provide suggested readings: - “MBI Fast Facts” - “So You Want to Reduce Misbehaviors?” (pp. 23-26)

21. ASK THEM TO COME HELP FIX IT… 1

22. CHALLENGES BECOME EASIER TO OVERCOME WITH TEAMWORK… We are all more effective working together than we are working independently.

23. DECISIONS ARE MADE BY A TEAM AND SITE Remember: MBI involves all of us – we decide what our focus will be – we decide how we will monitor – we decide what our goals are – we decide what we’ll do to get there – we evaluate our progress – we decide whether to keep going or change

24. ADD A DIFFERENT VOICE… Someone from the outside can…  Be unaware of the “politics”  Ask the tough questions  Make observations… not judgments Don’t worry, I’ll set them straight about MBI 2

25. STOP… START… Telling me what WON’T work  Telling me what WILL 1

26. SHOW ME THE DATA… The best positive reinforcement for most educators is seeing kids learn and succeed. 1

27. IF YOUR STAFF IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH MBI/PBIS After completing any survey share the results with your staff.

28. GETTING STAFF TO BUY-IN TO ADOPTING MBI Determine if a majority (80%) of your staff are interested and support implementing MBI at your site

29. ACKNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT… Reinforce the staff who DO play.

30. Strategies to Help:: Communication

31. STRATEGIES TO HELP: RESPOND TO COMMON ARGUMENTS AGAINST MBI  “My responsibility is to teach academics.”  “I don’t have enough time.”  “I’m already meeting the behavioral needs of my students.”  “I don’t believe in rewarding students for something they should already be doing.”

32. STRATEGIES TO HELP: DEVELOP A FEEDBACK PROCESS  MBI Feedback Form MBI is a school-wide initiative. Your feedback is very important to us. I would like to:  Offer a suggestion  Volunteer my services or time  Lodge a complaint  Ask a question  Acknowledge a success  Ask for help - If lodging a complaint, please offer a suggestion What do you think? Your opinion matters. 1

33. STRATEGIES TO HELP: USER- FRIENDLY STAFF IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS  All materials provided to staff in one easy to use binder

34. THE GOAL IS: Social Competency and Academic Achievement The Challenge is: WORK “SMARTER”… NOT “HARDER” 1

35. IF YOU’RE ALREADY COMMITTED…  Did you miss any steps?  Are there any steps you need to review with your staff?

36. ANY GOOD IDEAS FROM THE CROWD? What’s been successful at your school?

37. Nearly every organization or work team we’ve spent time with …astonishingly under communicates the genuinely positive, appreciative, and admiring experiences of its members. This is … a terrible deprivation of the vitality of a work setting. Kegan & Lahey (2001)
