  1. Northmoor PrimarySchool-Wide PBISKeeping Up the Momentum

  2. In The Beginning… • PBIS WAS NEW!! • We did whatever it took to keep it going • A team with a PASSION • Lot’s of excitement • Enthusiasm • New ideas

  3. As time wore on . . . . • Less enthusiasm • Same old stuff • Burn out • Overwhelmed • Overworked

  4. TODAY, our schools have lots of challenges – • Kids are showing up in our classrooms with a wide range of problems/issues – some of which we did not even think of 20 years ago – but we need to work to create an environment in which they can learn –

  5. Even in the best of schools, there are a few students who need (crave) special attention, and they will find a way to get it – Like Russell, who when he wants attention, knows how to get our undivided attention.

  6. Removing children from our schools is not the solution - If our only goal is to get rid of what’s bad – that will not work – we must work to build and cultivate cultures that support Positive Behaviors. • Sometimes a strategy is to wait for summer and then HOPE that the kids will mature over the summer – or not return. • We cannot suspend or expel all of the kids that do not follow rules – even if we put them out of school for a period of time – they are coming back – with the same issues.

  7. And in many cases, we have not provided the classroom teacher with adequate tools/skills to handle all of the classroom issues that can come up – • In fact, if you think about it, all too often the new teacher reports for work with little or no training/exposure to how to handle disruptive students. When they are completing their student teaching I would argue that the school places them with an experienced teacher who has wonderful classroom management techniques, that may be invisible to the student teacher. • So the new teacher shows up, has Russell in her class, and has no idea how to “manage” the situation.

  8. So they send the kids to the corner – to the corner – to the corner – and before you know it they have to teach to the corner because that is where all of the kids are – stacked up, and probably not learning.

  9. Plus all the other things teachers do… • Improve literacy, and math test scores • Make schools safe, caring, & focused on teaching & learning • Improve student character & citizenship • Eliminate bullying • Prepare for middle school education • Provide a free & appropriate education for all • Affect rates of high risk, antisocial behavior • Leave no child behind • Keep improving our level of teaching

  10. We are being asked to continuously do more – and yet, no one ever takes anything that we are already doing off of the plate – • More federal, state, and district requirements • More expectations from society at large to do more with kids who bring more and more complicated issues to school with them.

  11. And one thing we know for sure - is that time is a challenge – if only we could create that resource – more time might allow us to fix a lot -

  12. So – Considering all that! Here we are At yet another meeting Trying to be positive about student behaviors and using PBIS as a process towards that goal But where are we really?

  13. What happened to the enthusiasm?Better still - How do we getit back?

  14. YOU CAN • Create Energy for “OLD” Ideas • Provide “NEW” Ideas • Provide Useful Info • Reinforce Current Situations

  15. How do we maintain energy, dedication, forward movement for PBIS? Assess: Where we are Where we want to go

  16. If you keep doing what you’ve always done; you are going to get what you always got. • As a team we will - • Determine what is working • Determine what we need to address

  17. The Power Of Teaching • “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.” • “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we …punish?” Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?

  18. Team FunctionsDATAODRS/MINORSCICOAcknowledgements-Celebrations
