Positive Behavior Support
Developing A System for Teaching Appropriate Behavior
![Page 5: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
“If a child does not know how to read, we teach. If a child does not know how to swim, we teach. If a child does not know how to multiply,we teach. If a child does not know how to drive, we teach. If a child does not know how to behave, we teach?…punish?” “Why can’t we finish the last sentence as
automatically as we do the others?”
Tom Herner (NASDSE President) Counterpoint, 1998
![Page 6: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Once you have developed classroom expectations, it is not enough to just post the words on the walls of the classroom…
YOU MUST TEACH THEM!
![Page 7: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Behavior Errors More often occur because:
Students do not have appropriate skills- “Skills Deficits”
Students do not know when to use skills Students have not been taught specific
classroom procedures and routines Skills are not taught in context
![Page 8: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Develop a System for Teaching Behavior? Cannot assume that students
Know the appropriate ways to behave Will learn appropriate behaviors quickly and
effectively without consistent modeling/practice
MUST assume Students will require different curricula,
instructional modalities, etc. to learn appropriate behavior
We need to teach appropriate behaviors as effectively as we teach academic skills
![Page 9: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

How Do We Teach Behavior? School-wide
Within Individual Classrooms
For Specific Targeted Groups and Individual Students
Would like to keep…
Would like to revise or expand…
How Do We Connect… Existing programs; Curriculum Standards?
![Page 11: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Introducing School-wide Expectations & Rules All faculty and students participate Decide on method that will be most
effective for your school Consider Importance/Impact-Activity/event
should be a high priority…not given a few minutes in some other activity
![Page 12: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What Other Schools Have Found to be Effective Rotate classes through stations across
school to learn about rules for that particular setting
Principal and teachers put program together to creatively introduce to students in an assembly format (e.g., teacher role play examples & non-examples, ask for volunteers, etc.)
Students perform skits on the morning news to be broadcasted daily
![Page 13: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lesson Plans Provide initial plans and/or lesson plan
format for teachers to begin teaching behavior
Develop a system for expanding behavior lesson plan ideas throughout the year
Determine the minimum requirements for teaching behavior
![Page 14: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Guidelines for Teaching ExpectationsTeach As You Teach Core Academics:
Define in terms that students will understand List critical attributes Provide examples and non-examples Enhance concept development Check for understanding Extend concept development Acknowledge efforts Re-teach and restructure teaching
![Page 15: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sample Language Arts and Reading
Use a novel that has an expectation as a theme
Discuss characters in a novel and how they did not show respect, then have the students write the story with the character showing respect
Have the students develop their own expectations and/or rules and then have them write a persuasive essay or debate why theirs should be used instead of the school’s
![Page 16: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sample: Fine Arts (Music, Art, Computers, Graphics)
When choosing a school play, choose one with a theme centered around one of the school expectations or write your own play
Have the students compose a song/rap with the expectation
Have students come up with a campaign for promoting expectations to the entire student body
![Page 17: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sample: Science and/or Math
Have students develop a hypothesis about what they think are the top behavior problems at school. Have them survey students, parents, & teachers; make graphs; and reach a conclusion about the hypothesis
Have the students count the number of tickets redeemed monthly for prizes & graph them. You can include ratio of number of tickets to students, # of tickets per teacher, etc.
![Page 18: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sample: Social Studies
Have students research different cultures to find out how they define “Respectful”
Talk about how different historical events occurred because of conflict and come up with solutions on how the conflict could have been resolved
![Page 19: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
School-wide Booster Trainings You will be teaching expectations and
rules throughout the year, but there will be times when we all need a more intensive refresher. When do you think some of those times may
be? What will that format look like?
![Page 20: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sample Creative Ideas: “Putting it into Practice” Video students role-playing to teach expectations
and rules and show during morning show Students compete for the GRAND Prize by
participating in a behavior competition by grade level.
“NO Tardy Party”- Pick a random Friday. The principal announces that anyone who has demonstrated “responsibility” by being on time for class the entire week may participate (must have planner signed for entry).
![Page 21: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sample Creative Ideas: “Putting it into Practice” Provide students with a script that includes
actions and words expected Rotate students through different settings-
Teach the behaviors in the setting where the behaviors are expected to occur
Have classes compete to come up with unique ideas (student projects, bulletin boards, skits, songs, etc.)
Recognize staff for creative ideas
![Page 22: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Develop School-wide Plan for First Day of School
Sample Lesson Plan
![Page 23: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Action Plan!
What will you do with this information?
![Page 24: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Positive Behavior Support
Developing a School-wide Reward System
![Page 25: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Something to Think About… Do we provide reinforcers/rewards that are
meaningful to individual students?
Do we align reinforcement with what an individual wants to gain or avoid from his/her behavior and to the universal behaviors we want to teach?
![Page 26: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Reward System Guidelines Keep it simple Provide staff with opportunities to
recognize students in common areas who are not in their classes
Include information and encouraging messages on daily announcements
Rewards should target 85-95% of students
![Page 27: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Guidelines Reward frequently in the beginning
Keep ratios of reinforcement high (4:1) Reward based on school-wide expectations—
contingent upon desired behavior Refrain from threatening the loss of rewards as a
strategy for motivating desired behaviors Refrain from taking earned items or activities
away from a student Students should be eligible to earn rewards
throughout the day contingent upon appropriate behavior
![Page 28: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Challenges Remaining focused on the positive Providing meaningful rewards Maintaining consistency with all staff Tracking your reward system
![Page 29: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Solutions Keep ratio of reinforcement to correction
high (4:1) Involve students on your team to help
determine meaningful rewards Provide reward system trainings to staff
annually and plan for booster trainings as needed
Develop data-based system for monitoring and documenting appropriate behavior
![Page 30: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Meeting Token System Challenges Token System:
Refers to a reward system that works in the same manner as money, where a “token” can be redeemed for “things” or “experiences”
Ex. Students earn “Riverside Bucks” to purchase items at the school store.
If tangible tokens are used: Ensure an adequate supply Take steps to prohibit counterfeiting Establish an efficient system of record keeping
![Page 31: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Meeting Token System Challenges Use tokens that students can “cash in” for
back-up reinforcers Ex: buy button to participate in drawing
Designate a percentage of the tokens to be used to reward students who are not on a teacher’s roll
![Page 32: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What Have Other SchoolsFound to be Effective? School bucks to use in a school store on a
regular basis (weekly) “Caught Being Good” certificates School Mascot cut-outs with students’
names printed on them--used in lottery drawings once a week or twice a month
“No Tardy Party” 12 day “No Violence Countdown”
![Page 33: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Other Effective Strategies Positive parent telephone contacts with
students present Coupons (purchased with established
numbers of tokens) for the following: Extra P.E. Extra art Extra music No homework coupon (use with caution) Earned activity period for a preferred activity Early release pass
![Page 34: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Reward System Self-Check Clearly defined criteria for earning rewards Portable for use in multiple settings Flexible enough to meet the needs of
diverse students Contingent access to rewards Supportive of and aligned with the data
collection system
![Page 35: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Reward System Self-Check Varied to maintain student interest Supportive of behavioral and academic
success Meaningful back-up reinforcers Age-appropriate Plan for encouraging and monitoring staff
use of reward system
![Page 36: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Reward System Self-Check Hierarchical: Small increments of success
are recognized with small rewards Opportunities for naturally occurring
reinforcement in multiple settings are promoted
The system is simple to use
![Page 37: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Reflection for Developing Rewards District Team
What resources do schools need in order to implement reward systems?
Bowers How to get resources (including staffing) to sustain the
existing reward system? How do you communicate the purpose and need for a
reward system to families and staff?
Bennet What rewards would be supported by staff consistently? By students? How do you communicate the purpose and need for a
reward system to families and staff?B

What We Need To Do Identify areas of evaluation Identify the purpose of evaluation Be aware of the tools used in evaluation of
school-wide PBS Develop an evaluation process for your
school-wide plan
![Page 41: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Evaluating School-wide System Survey of students and staff Random questioning
At least 80% of students can state school’s expected rules
Observations Checklists
![Page 42: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Why is Evaluation Important? To gain an understanding of how the
program is functioning “Are we really doing what we think we are
doing?” To document program effectiveness
“Is what we’re doing working?” To identify and examine strengths and
weaknesses of the program Celebrate success Identify areas to improve
![Page 43: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Introducing PBS to Families What to communicate to families?
The “big picture”—purpose of school-wide plan Expectations—how they can be demonstrated
in non-school settings Reinforcements & consequences Plan for on-going updates of behavior data How they can get involved in the school-wide
plan
![Page 49: School-wide Positive Behavior Support](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813992550346895da128d3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Congratulations! What’s Next?After successfully establishing school-wide behavior support you may find:
Individual students who continue to exhibit significant behavior problems
A group of students with similar behaviors of concern
A particular classroom experiencing difficulty with behavior with a number of students

school-wide PBS? How will you obtain staff buy-in,
understanding, and consistency? How will you engage families and students?
Bennet-How will you roll this out in Illing? What will you accomplish by the end of next
year? Who needs to be involved?
