Building an Effective Team
Building an Effective Team: Rationale
An effective PBIS team will…
• bring energy and enthusiasm for PBIS.
• allow efficient use of time.
• create action steps that will be implemented.
• increase ownership of PBIS by faculty and staff.
• build capacity and ensure sustainability.
Effective Team Characteristics
Shared goals and objectives
Broad based representation
Mutual trust and respect
Open communication
Effective conflict resolution
Equity of task distribution
Consensus decision-making
Ongoing problem-solving
Effective Team Characteristics: Broad Based Representation
•PBIS team should represent the whole school.
•The size of team is not as important as the effectiveness.
•Consider representatives from the following: – regular education teachers
– special education teachers
– specialists
– support staff
– guidance/social work
– related services
– parents
– students
Effective Team Characteristics: Active Administrator
Each PBIS team should have an administrator on the team who is…
• committed to regularly attending team meetings and module trainings.
• actively participating in the implementation process.
• empowered to make decisions in the absence of the principal.
Effective Team Practices
• Clear roles and responsibilities
• Frequent and regular meetings
• Efficient meeting processes
• Established method for making decisions
The PBIS Team will:• assess current behavior management
practices
• examine patterns of behavior
• establish staff commitment
• develop and implement a school-wide action plan
• seek parental input and participation
• monitor and evaluate planned objectives and activities
Effective Team Practices: Clear Roles & Responsibilities
The PBIS Coach will:
• foster team development and support PBIS chairperson to lead the team
• assist in problem solving
• provide professional development
• support the analysis of data
• serve as a resource
• model effective strategies
Effective Team Practices: Clear Roles & Responsibilities
Effective Team Practices: Clear Roles and Responsibilities
The Chairperson will:• develop meeting agendas
• notify team members of meeting times and locations
• facilitate meeting
• ensure that action steps are delegated
• monitor progress on assigned tasks
• maintain contact with PBIS coach
Effective Team Practices: Clear Roles and Responsibilities
Choosing the Chairperson
• Consider non-obvious leaders, and those with potential.
• Choose a leader who is not also the chair of other committees.
• Enlist leaders who can consistently support PBIS over time.
• Consider individuals who have flexibility and time throughout the school day.
Effective Team Practices: Meet Frequently & Regularly
• During initial planning, teams meet often to establish systems and practices.
• Once established, teams meet regularly to:– analyze existing data– make changes based on the
existing database– problem-solve solutions to
critical issues
• Individual School Information Sheet
It is imperative to discuss and share with the team your decision making preference, so that meetings are efficient.
• Delegate without constraints • Consensus of meeting attendees• Delegate with constraints in the meeting• Gather input and decide • Decide and announce in the meeting• Decide and announce after the meeting
Effective Team Practices: Establish Decision Making Method
Activity 1: Decision Making Method
• Under stress, what is your most comfortable decision making method?
• Which method do you think would be the most effective for PBIS implementation at your school?
• How will you communicate your preferred method to your team or chair?
Using Data
• Allows all staff to see the big picture of behavior in your school.
• Increases the likelihood that PBIS implementation is meaningful and sustainable.
• Helps PBIS team use time efficiently by making needed action items clear.
• Provides information about effectiveness of systems and practices.
• Ensures that strategies and interventions are based on precise problem statements.
Using Data: Rationale
Using Data: Implementation Data vs. Outcome DataImplementation Data
• Designed to measure fidelity of implementation
• Goal is to develop action steps
Outcome Data• Measures progress on specific school-wide
goals
• Allows schools to determine impact of PBIS implementation
• Documents the effectiveness of PBIS on overall school climate
• Used to make system-wide decisions
Using Data: Implementation Tools
• School Survey• Implementation Inventory• School-wide Evaluation Tool• Benchmarks of Quality • PBIS Walk-Through• Phases of Implementation• Team Implementation Checklist • Benchmarks of Advanced Tiers
Using Data: Outcome Tools
• Office Referrals• Achievement• Suspension/Expulsion • Climate Surveys• Special Education Referrals• Staff Retention • Attendance (Staff/Student)
Using Data: Collecting Office Referral Information
• Office referrals are a key component of outcome data.
• Schools collect this information in a variety of ways.
• Regardless of the method, it is important to collect enough information to determine patterns and design effective solutions.
• Ensuring accurate collection of data is an important role for the PBIS team and school administrator.
Using Data: School Wide Information Systems© (SWIS)
• Web-based software program specifically designed to align with PBIS efforts
• Preferred option for collecting and managing behavioral data at whole school, group, and individual levels
• Designed to be simple to use as well as provide customizable detailed reports on patterns of behavior across a variety of contexts
• Five standard reports are considered the best first look at school-wide patterns

Integrating PBIS with School-Wide Systems
Integrating PBIS
PBIS connects with all systems in your school.
• Leadership Team
• School Improvement Team
• Responsiveness to Instruction (RtI)
Integrating PBIS and Leadership Team
• One staff member serving on both leadership and PBIS teams ensures alignment.
• Regular and open communication between PBIS and leadership teams increases effectiveness of implementation.
Integrating PBIS and School Improvement
• Have you reviewed your SIP?
• PBIS can be included as a “key process” that supports multiple school improvement goals.
• Take a few minutes to review your SIP. How does (or how can) PBIS help support and align your efforts?
Integrating PBIS and School Improvement
• Schools must align their SIP goals with the Strategic Directives for WCPSS.
• Schools should develop goals around the greatest areas of need addressed within their data.
• SSD - Superintendent‘s Strategic Directives
• SBE - State Board of Education‘s Goals
Integrating PBIS and School Improvement
1. SSD: Focus on Learning and Teaching• SBE: Globally Competitive Students• SBE: Healthy, Responsible Students 2. SSD: Retain, Recruit, and Train High Quality Employees• SBE: 21st Century Professionals 3. SSD: Systems and Structures to Support Schools, ensu
re accountability and engage the community• SBE: Leadership for Innovation• SBE: 21st Century Systems 4. SSD: Expand Fiscal Accountability• SBE: 21st Century Systems
Integrating PBIS and RtI
• The concept of layers of intervention and standardized procedures is part of both PBIS and RtI.
• All school staff members have a role in providing the support that students need to be successful.
Integrating PBIS and RtI
The PBIS Team will:• assess current school-wide and student-
specific data to identify areas of need
• assist PLTs in reviewing and analyzing behavioral data
• coordinate with Tier III RtI Team (SST)
• provide support to teachers and PLTs regarding behavioral strategies
• assist in training others and modeling best practices
• provide access to resources

PBIS Trainings
PBIS Trainings: Staff Development Opportunities
• In collaboration with team, PBIS coaches can tailor staff development to the needs and schedule of school (“Phases of Implementation” differentiated sessions).
• Multiple opportunities for staff development exist.
• Be creative and work with your coach to develop ways to meet the needs of your school.

Preparing for Implementation: Factors for Success
Preparing for Implementation: Determining Pace
There is no required amount of implementation that should be completed by the end of the first year.
• Some schools plan all year.
• Some implement right away.
• Some follow a cyclical model (plan/implement/evaluate/modify).
Different teams move through planning and implementation
at different rates.
Activity 2: Preparing for implementation
Discuss the following questions with a colleague:
• What factors might drive PBIS implementation?
• What factors might restrain PBIS implementation?
• How can you begin addressing the restrainers?
Preparing for Implementation: Commitments
• Ensure that the PBIS team is representative of your staff and students.
• Follow data collection schedule and share with staff.
• Implement PBIS for ALL students.
• Participate in PBIS trainings.
• Designate one administrator responsible for PBIS implementation.
• Support time for PBIS team meetings.
• Reserve regular time on staff meeting agendas for PBIS issues.
To Do ListStarting now, you should…
• begin building the PBIS team by thoughtful reflection on team chair selection.
• determine type of data-based decision making process for team.
• plan for PBIS trainings and staff development opportunities.
• decide if you are using SWIS and plan for training dates.
