Experiences we face when implementing MBI
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”
MBI Involvement
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
If your staff is not familiar with MBI/PBIS
1. Show all staff one of two videos:“Discovering School-Wide MBI: Moving
Toward a Positive Future” or“Creating the Culture of Positive Behavior
Supports”2. Provide suggested readings:
- “MBI Fast Facts”
-“So You Want to Reduce Misbehaviors?”
If your staff is not familiar with MBI/PBIS

Methods to involve staff during MBI development and implementation
Strategies to Help:: Communication
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.”
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)

– How would increasing positive communication impact your staff?
