Basic Concepts of PBIS School Teams are Trained at the Summer Institute sponsored by Maryland State Department of Education, Sheppard Pratt Health System, and the Johns Hopkins University The following training materials are adapted from the PBIS model as developed by George Sugai and Rob Horner, University of Oregon
Process for Supporting Behavior and Achievement OUTCOMES Supporting Staff Behavior Supporting Decision Making DATA SYSTEMS PRACTICES Supporting Student Behavior
Key Elements of PBIS School-wide behavior planning is based on a balance of four key elements: • Clearly specified OUTCOMES that are related to behavior and student achievement • SYSTEMS that support staff buy-in and sustained use of effective practices • DATAgathered by the school to make decisions about improving behavior and learning • Evidence-based PRACTICES and interventions that are effective for staff and students

PBIS School-wide InterventionsOverview • Establish commitment and maintain team • Establish school-wide expectations • Establish an on-going system of rewards • Establish a system for responding to behavioral violations • Establish a data system to monitor progress and aid in decision making • Arrange for consistent implementation and utilize district level support
1. Establish commitment and maintain team • Establish PBIS Leadership Team • Strong, administrative support • School-wide representation on PBIS Team • Secure school-wide agreements and supports • Strive for “full” (>80%) faculty participation • Prioritize resources (time, materials, cost) • Plan on a 3 – 5 year commitment • Establish a data-based action plan • Use the PBIS Staff Survey results • Use behavioral incident data (office referrals, etc.)
2. Establish school-wide expectations • Develop rules of behavior • 3 to 5 positively stated rules • Easy to remember • Apply to all students, settings, and staff • Develop a matrix of expected behavior in target contexts • Contexts include: classrooms, hallways, gym, cafeteria, common areas, bus loading zone, etc. • Teach the expected behaviors using an instructional approach • Directly teach (tell/explain, model/show, practice, give reminders and pre-corrections) • Actively supervise • Positively reinforce

3. Establish an on-going system of rewards • Acknowledge expected behavior • Use tangible rewards and acknowledgements • High 5’s, coupons, gotchas, etc. • Use social recognition • Assemblies, bulletin boards, names over the intercom • Use guidelines • Fade tangibles • Schedule strategically • Maintain 5:1 positive to correction ratio
4. Establish a system for responding to behavioral violations • Develop an agreement about which behaviors are handled in the classroom and which are office managed • Use verbal redirection, teacher consequence, and/or office referral • Use pre-correction and restatement of expected behaviors
5. Establish a data system to monitor progress and aid in decision making • Utilize a data management system, e.g., SWIS • Develop procedures for ongoing monitoring and evaluation • Meet regularly to review data and implement interventions
6. Arrange for consistent implementation and utilize district level support • Develop targeted interventions for groups of at-risk students • Build capacity for function-based support in order to develop individualized plans for specific students (FBA/BIP’s) • Connect PBIS Team with School Improvement Team and Student Support Team • Utilize district level support and other leadership resources
How Baltimore County Supports its PBIS Schools • Levels of PBIS Support include • School-based team • Strong, administrative leadership is encouraged • School-wide representation on PBIS team • PBIS Coach assigned to school team • Provides expertise on the PBIS process, behavior analysis, and data interpretation • MSDE/BCPS Leadership Teams • Provides consultation and support
Phases in the BCPS Model of PBIS Training as a Support to the Summer Institute Training • Phase 1—Administrator Commitment • Spring Forum arranged and Coach Facilitator consults • Phase 2—Training the PBIS School Team • Coach assigned to each school • Phase 3—Implementing PBIS within the School • Coach, Coach Facilitator, and BCPS Leadership Team assists
Phase 1—Administrator Commitment • Administrators of identified schools attend a Spring Forum to learn about PBIS • Follow-up meeting with the Coach Facilitator to share information such as: • School rules • Matrix of expected behaviors • Classroom managed vs. office managed behaviors • Flowchart of the disciplinary process • Gotcha and recognition tickets
Phase 1—Administrator Commitment(continued) • School completes a Staff Survey to document areas of concern • The new school is encouraged to send faculty members to visit exemplar PBIS schools within Baltimore County
Phase 2—Training the PBIS School Team • PBIS school team members attend the Summer Institute hosted by MSDE-SPHS-JHU • School teams begin to plan their implementation of PBIS • They attend a poster session of exemplar schools and dialogue with those schools’ representatives • BCPS Coach Facilitator follows up with new school teams throughout the summer to provide guidance
Phase 2—Training the PBIS School Team(Continued) • School teams develop their products and plan for teacher training the first week of school • Each school is assigned a coach who works with that school during the planning as well as implementation phases • Schools are encouraged to review and adapt the work of experienced PBIS schools • Lesson plans • Teacher training models • Incentive programs for students and staff • Acknowledgement assemblies • Motivational strategies for students and staff
Phase 3—Implementing PBIS within the School • PBIS team trains faculty about PBIS concepts • Works best with multiple leaders training small groups • Encourage discussion and questions • Faculty is given samples of all products and trained in their use • Gotchas • Minor incident reports (for teacher managed behavior) • Office referrals • Rules are posted in all classrooms, hallways, and throughout the building
Phase 3—Implementing PBIS within the School (continued) • Gotchas are collected and reinforcement systems are implemented • Students are acknowledged for appropriate behavior • Staff are acknowledged for their support of the program • Office referrals are logged into the SWIS system and are analyzed
Phase 3—Implementing PBIS within the School (continued) • PBIS Team meets at least monthly to coordinate on-going implementation, analyze data, and develop new interventions • Schools are encouraged to maintain a binder with all their school products, team notes, and other information for reference • A coach works with every school team to provide additional support, PBIS knowledge, and behavioral expertise • Schools are encouraged to attend state level and county level PBIS meetings for new ideas and support
