SWPBS OverviewSchool-Wide Positive Behavior Supports
The mission of the Lincoln IntermediateUnit 12 is to provide quality education andservices through leadership, expertise, and innovation.
Mission Statement
IU TaCBehavior Support Consultants
We will promote the use of Positive Behavior Support practices within all school settings of York, Adams and Franklin counties, by providing:
• training to stakeholders in the full continuum of behavior support (universal, targeted and intensive);
•consultative support to all school personnel (reg. ed. & sp. ed.) as they strive to maximize student growth and learning.
Purpose of Today’s Presentation• Provide introduction to school-
wide positive behavior support (SWPBS)
• Describe potential academic and behavioral outcomes
• Present overview of this year’s SWPBS training
Clarifying Terms
• SWEBS = PBIS = SWPBS = SWPBIS
• National Center began at University of Oregon
oCo-directors are Dr. Rob Horner and Dr. George Sugai (now at University of Connecticut)
oNational grant funded by OSEPoPA-PBS network in participation with Lucille Eber, Ed.D. – OSEP Partner
What is School-wide Positive Behavior Support?
• SWPBS is a framework for school improvement. . . .
SW Positive Behavior Supports…
Aims to build effective environments in which positive behavior is more effective than problem behavior
Is a collaborative, assessment-based approach to developing effective interventions for problem behavior
Emphasizes the use of preventative, teaching, and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes

4 Essential Elements
Why Implement SWPBS?
Over 9000 schools across the country are implementing SWPBS because…
• It can be adapted to fit your particular school• It can coexist with most other school-wide
programs (bully prevention, character ed, etc.)• It is a Research-based Practice that is
consistent with principles of behavior• Schools implementing SWPBS with fidelity
report: o 20-60% reductions in office discipline

school safety

The 7 Components of SWPBS:
Levels of PBSAdapted from Levels and Descriptions of Behavior Support(George, Harrower, & Knoster, 2003)
School-wide/Universal (Tier 1) – intended for all students and staff in all settings across campus
Classroom – school-wide expectations for student behavior coupled with pre-planned strategies for classroom settings
Targeted Group (Tier 2) – addresses behavioral issues of groups of students who have been unresponsive to Universal efforts (having similar problem behaviors that seem to occur for the same reasons (i.e. attention seeking, escape)
Intensive, Individual (Tier 3)– to address problematic
behaviors of individual students, to help them meet school-wide expectations of student behavior coupled with team-based strategies

How will you implement in your building?
• SWPBS requires a 3-5 year commitment to develop and implement a program with fidelity.
• This year is focused on planning Universal Interventions (Tier 1).
• Next school year the focus in on implementation of Tier 1 with fidelity.
Your SWPBS Team . . .
Approx. 6-8 participants form the PBS team Representative of all faculty on campus At least one administrator serves on the team The team members will assist our school in implementing and maintaining SW efforts The team will share plans with the staff and ask for staff input on SWPBS efforts
SWPBS TeamTEAM MEETS AT LEAST MONTHLY TO:
Assess the current behavior management practices Examine patterns of behavior Obtain staff commitment Develop a school-wide plan Obtain parental participation and input Oversee, monitor, and evaluate all plan objectives, procedures and activities
What will SWPBS look like in your school? Data will be reviewed monthly to track progress and identify areas to target for intervention
Office Disciplinary Referrals (summarized by time, location, offense, student, & avg. per day per month)Attendance, Suspension, Detention, Grades…
Discipline referral Processes & Procedures will be Consistent throughout the school The school will develop and use school-wide Expectations/Rules in settings across campus to Teach students appropriate behavior A Reward System will be used to encourage and model appropriate behavior Effective Consequences will be developed and used to discourage inappropriate behavior.
What will improve in your school?
• Reactive Proactive ☑ Focus on Prevention
• Punitive Instructive☑ Teach and recognize appropriate
skills
• Exclusionary Inclusionary☑ Keep students in school and in
class
Improvement in the school behavioral climate:
Increase in • academic performance • on-task behavior• parent, student & staff
satisfaction• staff retention
Decrease in • office referrals• suspensions & detentions• disruptive classroom
behavior
Primary Outcomes
