FWPS Strategic Plan: PBIS… • Is a signature strategy within Goal 2: The Whole Child • Connects to Pillar 2: Safe Climate & Strong Relationships with Families & Community • Connects to Pillar 4: Data-Informed Continuous Improvement • Can have positive impact on measures of progress: – % of scholars who feel their school is safe and welcoming as measured by a perception survey – % of scholars participating in at least 95% of classroom instructional time • Increased attendance • Decreased discipline incidents

Learning Targets • Understand what PBIS is and why schools implement PBIS. • Consider staff buy-in and commitment for PBIS, including creation of shared vision. • Composition of PBIS Leadership Team with focus on culturally-responsive components. • Understand team roles, responsibilities, and meeting structures. • Determine where PBIS team fits into pre-existing school team structures.

Success Criteria • We can utilize resources to explain what PBIS is and purpose of implementing it. • We can identify a strategy to assess staff buy-in and commitment to PBIS. • We will begin to identify a PBIS Leadership Team, including effective family & scholar involvement. • We can work to integrate the PBIS team into existing school teaming structures. • We know the different team roles and meeting tools to run efficient team meetings.

Evidence-based features of SW-PBS – – Prevention Define and teach positive social expectations Acknowledge positive behavior Arrange consistent consequences for problem behavior – Collection and use of data for decision-making – Continuum of intensive, individual interventions – Administrative leadership – Team-based implementation

Why implement SWPBS? Create a positive school culture: School environment is predictable 1. common language 2. common vision (understanding of expectations) 3. common experience (everyone knows) School environment is positive regular recognition for positive behavior School environment is safe violent and disruptive behavior is not tolerated School environment is consistent adults use similar expectations

PBIS & ACEs • Scholars who have or currently experience trauma (ACEs) can: – – Act out Withdraw Have anxiety Demonstrate difficulty paying attention & learning • Scholars need: – To feel accepted & understood – Feel safe and supported – Learn self-regulation & social emotional skills – Avoid re-traumatization – Receive appropriate accommodations and supports

School-wide Commitment 10 Minutes (see 1 st yellow planning sheet) • Do you have at least 80% of your staff committed to PBIS? What will it take? • How will you get staff feedback & involve staff in decision-making/ goal-setting? • Do you have family/community/student support for change? • Do you have administrator's support & involvement?

Creating a Shared Vision and Monitoring Its Implementation

Staff Perceptions of Behavior & Discipline SPBD is a survey to measure staff beliefs about behavior and discipline, including their beliefs about schoolwide expectations, school climate, and supports and resources. • Can be given to staff: - Pre-implementation - During implementation http: //spbdsupport. com/ Steps to completing SPBD with staff:

Purpose Statement Example As a result of implementing PBIS at GW High School we plan to: § Create a more positive culture in our school/family/community § Make life in school better for ALL students § Create consistency among adults § Identify ALL students in need of support § Use data to guide our decision-making § Reduce Office Referrals § Strengthen family partnerships

Purpose Statement Development 15 Minutes § What is our purpose? § How do we want our School/Family/Community to be different as a result of implementing PBIS? § Have we clearly establish the need and commitment to change? § Include commitment to equity for ALL groups in team purpose

Establishing the PBIS Team • The purpose and function of a Tier 1 Team • Membership of the team • Establishing effective and ongoing Tier 1 Team meetings • Establishing subcommittees of the Tier 1 Team if needed

Who Should Comprise the Tier 1 PBIS Team? • Active administrator • Representative building staff members, family members & students (secondary schools) • Members understand behavioral principles • Members should be collaborative, critical examiners who are also supportive. * Team members represent the cultures and ethnicities in the school & community • http: //www. wisconsinpbisnetwork. org/asse ts/files/flash/Thisis.

Culturally Responsive PBIS (CRPBIS): Leadership Team, continued • Ongoing conversations about issues of equity for all groups occur regularly • Family input represented on team & role is clearly outlined, defined, and understood • Families have ownership of system components (e. g. , celebrations, acknowledgements) • PBIS aligned and integrated with other school initiatives

Tier 1 Team Responsibilities 1. Conduct Current Data-Driven Business – Review school-wide data – Academic, Behavioral, Attendance – Identify & plan needed interventions based on data – Use data to determine behavioral lesson plans 2.

Establish Team Roles • • • Facilitator Data Analyst Minute Taker PBIS Coach Time Keeper * Back-up for each role.

Team Meeting Agenda, Minutes, & Action Plan 1) Elicit items & establish agenda before each meeting (Facilitator responsibility) – Helps keep the meeting focused and time efficient 2) Take minutes during each meeting that can be sent out afterwards (Minute taker responsibility) – Consider sending to key stakeholders 3) Use an action plan during the meeting to keep track of who will be doing what, by when, etc. You can refer back to this regularly. (Whole team responsibility) - Share responsibility for action items across team members

Team Meeting Considerations ü Consider projecting the agenda, minutes, and action plan during the meeting so that everyone can follow, and so the work is already done by the end of the meeting! ü Consider making these digital files for easy sharing! (i. e. Google doc, One. Note, shared on network drive) ü Time keeper can help move agenda along; make the most of your time!
