Cost-Benefit Analysis

West Potomac HS PBIS Data: 2003 -2008 52% decrease in office referrals 74% decrease in suspensions/expulsions

Group Cost Benefit Office Referral Reduction Across 12 PBIS Schools =5, 606 If students miss 45 minutes of instruction for each Office Referral, 5, 606 X 45= 252, 270 minutes 4204. 50 hours or 700 days of instructional time recovered!!!!!

Group Cost Benefit Office Referral Reduction Across 12 PBIS schools= 5, 606 If one Office Referral=15 minutes of administrator time, then 5, 606 x 15= 84, 090 minutes 1401. 15 hours or 233 days of administrator time recovered and reinvested.

Paradigm Shifts we’re seeing… We’ve noticed a gradual change in focus from: • Aggressive disrespect to an appreciation of manners, respect and excellence. • “Us against them” to shared, thoughtful collaborative relationships between students and staff. • “Do what I say” to “understand why it is important for you to do this. ” • “It’s someone else’s fault” to assumption of responsibility.

Why Bother? • In 1 year, 1 school (880) had 5100 ODRs, 1 student received 87 ODRs, & 1 teacher gave out 273 ODRs • In 1 urban school district: 2004 -05, 400 kindergartners were expelled • In 1 state 55% white, 73% Latino, & 88% African American 4 th graders aren’t proficient readers • Many pre-service teachers have no behavior/classroom management course for teachers or administrators • 1 st response to school violence is “get tougher” • In 1 K-3 school, no teacher could give reading levels of their students • 2 nd grade student receives “body sock” & “lemon drop” therapy to treat violent school behavior • In 1 state 7% of “high experience” teachers & 17% of reading specialists can identify at least 2 indicators of early reading success (e. g. , phonemic awareness, fluency) • Across nation, students who are truant are given out-ofschool suspensions

PBIS within a Systems Perspective

Worry #1 • Do we live in a punishing work environment ? • How do we create systems that support staff?

Measuring workplace strength simplified to 12 questions Buckingham & Coffman 2002, Gallup High School & Successful Organizations 1. Do I know what is expected of me at work? 2. Do I have materials & equipment to do my work right? 3. At work, do I have opportunity to do what I do best every day? 4. In last 7 days, have I received recognition or praise for doing good work? 5. Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as person? 6. Is there someone at work who encourages my development? 7. At work, do my opinions seem to count? 8. Does mission/purpose of company make me feel my job is important? 9. Are my co-workers committed to doing quality work? 10. Do I have best friend at work? 11. In last 6 months, has someone at worked talked to me about my progress? 1 million workers, 80, 000 400 companies 12. This last year, have I managers, had opportunities at work to learn & grow?

Principal’s Role 1. Maintaining standards regarding which innovations their school would employ, 2. Making a public statement of support once the faculty selected an innovation, 3. Establishing a representative leadership team to lead the process of implementing the innovation, 4. Supporting the team members to have the time and resources to accomplish the task, 5. Guiding rather than dictating decision-making, 6. Taking a leadership role to model and reinforce implementing the innovation with fidelity, 7. Regularly attending and participating in team meetings, 8. Providing recognition to faculty and the team for their hard work, 9. Serving as the spokesperson to community stakeholders about the worth and importance of the innovations, and 10. Establishing objective means to monitor and provide feedback to all staff about the effect of the innovation. (Colvin & Sprick, 1999)

Do Principals Make a Difference? All staff rate principals leadership with respect to managing behavior as important • Statistically significant differences between SW-PBIS and non-SW-PBIS schools on staffs perceptions of: ▫ Principals involvement related to behavior management ▫ Overall effectiveness of behavior supports ▫ Job satisfaction

Administrator agrees to actively support and participate in PBIS activities. Administrator agrees to: ▫ attend meetings 90% of the time ▫ provide funding for PBIS activities ▫ allocate time on staff agenda for PBIS updates ▫ actively promote PBIS as priority, and ▫ integrate PBIS with other initiatives/improvement activities

Many Begin, Many Leave Adelman and Taylor Preparing All Education Personnel to Address Barriers to Learning and Teaching 2008 Predictions of shortages of 2 million educators over the next decade: Data in the U. S. indicate about……. 15% of new teachers leave in the first year, 30% within three years and 40 -50% within the first five years. (Smith and Ingersoll, 2003)

On school reform… Kauffman states “…attempts to reform education will make little difference until reformers understand that schools must exist as much for teachers as for student. Put another way, schools will be successful in nurturing the intellectual, social, and moral development of children only to the extent that they also nurture such development of teachers. ” (1993, p. 7).

Worry #2 • Too much to do • We add more and more each year • How can we be better prepared to integrated into existing programs?

Challenge

Memo To: School Administrators From: District Administrators In keeping with the new state initiative, this fall we will be implementing an exciting new district initiative of SNI in place of LYI. All in-service days previously scheduled for LYI will be rescheduled as staff development for SNI. The $500 for release time and materials for LYI will be discontinued and provided instead for SNI. By the way, you will need to create local SNI teams that meet weekly. The former members of your LYI team would be perfect for this new team. Your new SNI binders will be coming next week. Have a great year!!!

Educational Initiatives • Guiding Principles (Coyne 2008) ▫ Promoting evidence based practices ▫ Supporting change at the systems level (feasible, consistent and relevant to local needs) ▫ Developing local capacity to sustain effective practices over time

Sample Implementation “Map” Building the System • 2+ years of school team training • Annual “booster” events • Coaching/facilitator support @ school & district levels • Regular self-assessment & evaluation data • On-going preparation of trainers • Development of local/district leadership teams • Establishment of state/regional leadership & policy team

Problem Statement “We give schools strategies & systems for developing positive, effective, achieving, & caring school & classroom environments, but implementation is not accurate, consistent, or durable. Schools need more than training. ”

SW-PBIS Logic! Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable (Zins & Ponti, 1990)

ACT I: Why would we consider SW-PBIS?

What’s in it for me? • • Increased instructional time Less time on setting limits Better school climate Ownership of SW-System Use of data for decision making Efficient use of resources/time Community of Practice

Our Solutions… PLAN A: Magic Fairy Dust PLAN B: Get rid of the bad apples

How do we react to problem behavior? • “Joseph, I’m taking your book away because you obviously aren’t ready to learn. That’ll teach you a lesson. ” • “Juan, you are going to learn some social responsibility by staying in timeout until the class is willing to have you back. ” • “You want my attention? ! I’ll show you attention…let’s take a walk down to the office & have a little chat with the Principal. ” • “Karyn, you skipped 2 school days, so we’re going to suspend you for 2 more. ”

The “Get Tough” approach: Assumption that “problem” student… • Is inherently “bad” • Will learn more appropriate behavior through increased use of aversives • Will be better tomorrow…

“A punitive school discipline environment is a major factor contributing to antisocial behavior problems. ” Mayer, 1995 “Exposure to exclusionary discipline has been shown not to improve school outcomes, but in fact to be associated with higher rates of school dropout. ” Skiba, Peterson, and Williams, 1997 “Early exposure to school suspension may increase subsequent antisocial behavior. ” Hemphill et al. , 2006

Science and our experiences have taught us that students…. • Are NOT born with “bad behaviors” • Do NOT learn when presented with aversive consequences …Do learn better ways of behaving by being taught directly & receiving positive feedback

Our Solutions… PLAN A: Magic Fairy Dust PLAN B: Get rid of the bad apples PLAN C: A professional development day

One-Shot Professional Development: The “train & hope” approach 1. 2. 3. 4. React to identified problem Hire expert to train staff Expect & hope for implementation Wait for new problem…

Our Solutions… PLAN A: Magic Fairy Dust PLAN B: Get rid of the bad apples PLAN C: A professional development day PLAN D: Take a systems-level approach to student (and adult) behavior

What would a positive, encouraging school climate look like? • Students know what is expected of them and choose to do so because they: ▫ Know what to do ▫ Have the skills to do it ▫ See the natural benefits for acting responsibly • Adults and students have more time to: ▫ Focus on relationships ▫ Focus on classroom instruction • There is an instructional approach to discipline ▫ Instances of problem behavior are opportunities to learn and practice pro-social behavior

VIOLENCE PREVENTION • Positive, predictable schoolwide climate • High rates of academic & social success • Formal social skills instruction • Positive active supervision & reinforcement • Positive adult role models • Multi-component, multi-year school-family-community effort • Surgeon General’s Report on Youth Violence (2001) • Coordinated Social Emotional & Learning (Greenberg et al. , 2003) • Center for Study & Prevention of Violence (2006) • White House Conference on School Violence (2006)

Effective Academic Instruction Effective Behavioral Interventions Continuous & Efficient Databased Decision Making Systems for Durable & Accurate Implementation = POSITIVE, EFFECTIVE SCHOOL CULTURE (SWPBS)

Critical Features of PBIS

What is School-wide Positive Behavior Support? • School-wide PBIS is: ▫ IS a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidencebased academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students. • Evidence-based features of SW-PBIS ▫ Prevention ▫ Define and teach positive social expectations ▫ Acknowledge positive behavior ▫ Arrange consistent consequences for problem behavior ▫ On-going collection and use of data for decision-making ▫ Continuum of intensive, individual interventions. ▫ Administrative leadership – Team-based implementation (Systems that support effective practices)

61 TIER I: Core, Universal GOAL: 100% of students achieve at high levels Tier I: Implementing well researched programs and practices demonstrated to produce good outcomes for the majority of students. Tier I: Effective if at least 80% are meeting benchmarks with access to Core/Universal Instruction. Tier I: Begins with clear goals: 1. What exactly do we expect all students to learn ? 2. How will we know if and when they’ve learned it? 3. How you we respond when some students don’t learn? 4. How will we respond when some students have already learned? Questions 1 and 2 help us ensure a guaranteed and viable core curriculum 61

62 TIER II: Supplemental, Targeted Tier II For approx. 20% of students Core + Supplemental …to achieve benchmarks Tier II Effective if at least 70 -80% of students improve performance (i. e. , gap is closing towards benchmark and/or progress monitoring standards). 1. Where are the students performing now? 2. Where do we want them to be? 3. How long do we have to get them there? 4. How much do they have to grow per year/monthly to get there? 5. What resources will move them at that rate? 62

TIER III: Intensive, Individualized Tier III For Approx 5% of Students 63 Core + Supplemental + Intensive Individual Instruction …to achieve benchmarks 1. Where is the students performing now? 2.

Old Approach New Approach • Each school works out their own plan with Mental Health (MH) agency; • A MH counselor is housed in a school building 1 day a week to “see” students; • No data to decide on or monitor interventions; • “Hoping” that interventions are working; but not sure. • District has a plan for integrating MH at all buildings (based on community data as well as school data); • MH person participates in teams at all 3 tiers; • MH person leads group or individual interventions based on data; • For example, MH person leads or co-facilitates small groups, FBA/BIPs or wrap teams for students.

Agency/School Collaboration: A Real Example • Middle schools SWIS data indicated an increase in aggression/fighting between girls. • Community agency had staff trained in the intervention Aggression Replacement Training (ART) and available to lead groups in school. • This evidence-based intervention is designed to teach adolescents to understand replace aggression and antisocial behavior with positive alternatives. The program's three-part approach includes training in Prosocial Skills, Anger Control, and Moral Reasoning. • Agency staff worked for nine weeks with students for 6 hours a week; group leaders did not communicate with school staff during implementation.

Agency/School Collaboration Example (cont) • SWIS Referrals for the girls dropped significantly during group. • At close of group there was not a plan for transference of skills (i. e. notifying staff of what behavior to teach/prompt/reinforce). • There was an increase in referrals following the group ending. • Secondary Systems team reviewed data and regrouped by meeting with ART staff to learn more about what they could do to continue the work started with the intervention. • To effect transference and generalization, the team pulled same students into groups lead by school staff with similar direct behavior instruction. • Links back to Universal teaching of expectations (Tier 1) is now a component of all SS groups (Tier 2).
