Bullyproofing and PBIS: Part IITeri Lewis
Oregon State University
Review: Goal• Present information on intervention• Link bullyprofing and PBIS
Review: Bullyproofing Options• Prevent bullying - Universal
• Reduce bullying - Individual
Intervention
•Primary• Reduce new cases of problem behavior
•Secondary• Reduce current cases of problem behavior
•Tertiary• Reduce complications, intensity, severity of current cases
Academic Systems Behavioral Systems

Designing School-Wide Systems for Student Success
2001 Surgeon General’s Report
• Number of assaults & other antisocial behavior are increasing
• Risk factors• Antisocial peer networks• Reinforced deviancy
2001 Surgeon General’s Report on Youth Violence: Recommendations
• Establish “intolerant attitude toward deviance”• Break up antisocial networks…change social context• Improve parent effectiveness
• Increase “commitment to school”• Increase academic success• Create positive school climates
• Teach & encourage individual skills & competence
Responses to Antisocial Behavior• Reviews of over 500 studies indicate that the least
effective responses to school violence are• Punishment• Counseling• Psychotherapy
• Exclusion is the most common response for conduct disordered youth (Lane & Murakami, 1987)
• Punishing problem behaviors without a school-wide system of support is associated with increased (a) aggression, (b) vandalism, (c truancy, (d) tardiness, and (e) dropping out (Mayer, 1995; Mayer & Sulzer-Azaroff, 1991)
• The most effective responses educators can make to school violence include• Social skills instruction• Behaviorally based interventions• Academic interventions
Summary- Effective Bullyproofing
• Involve all staff, students, family and even community• Focus on both prevention (SW) and intervention (function-
based)• Embed w/i existing curriculum, etc. • Adapt to fit context/culture• Sustain - no quick fixes
What Works? Effective Approaches
• Social skills training• Skill v. performance deficit• Incorporated across day/life
• Social behavioral interventions• Functional behavior assessment based• Teach alternative skills
(e.g., self-management)
• Academic/curricular restructuring• Academic & behavior relationship
• Systems approach• Create supportive school environment
• Community/home interventions• Wrap-around
Process for Identifying Students
1. Establish Behavior Support Team to guide/lead process.
2. Secure & establish behavioral competence within school.
3. Develop three level system of school-wide behavior support:
a. Universal Interventionsb. Targeted Group Interventionsc. Individual Interventions
Universal Interventions• School-wide discipline system for all students, staff, &
settings that is effective for “80%” of students.• Clearly & positively stated expectations. • Procedures for teaching expectations.• Continuum of procedures for teaching expectations.• Continuum of procedures for encouraging expectations. • Continuum of procedures for discouraging rule violations.• Procedures for monitoring & modifying procedures.
Targeted Group Interventions• Specialized group administered system for
students who display high-risk problem behavior & are unresponsive to universal interventions.
• Functional assessment based intervention decisions.• Daily behavioral monitoring.• Regular & frequent opportunities for positive reinforcement.• Home-school connection.• Individualized academic accommodations for academic
success. • Planned social skills instruction.• Behaviorally based interventions.
Individual Interventions
• Specialized individually administered system for students who display most challenging problem behavior & are unresponsive to targeted group interventions.
• Simple request for assistance.• Immediate response (24-48 hours).• Functional behavioral assessment-based behavior support
planning. • Team-based problem solving process. • Data-based decision making.• Comprehensive service delivery derived from a wraparound
process.
4. Establish data decision system for matching level of intervention to student.
a. Simple & direct request for assistance process for staff.
b. Data decision rule for requesting assistance based on number of major behavioral incidents.
5. Establish a continuous data-based system to monitor, evaluate, & improve effectiveness & efficiency.
a. Are students displaying improved behaviors?
b. Are staff implementing procedures with high fidelity?
c. What can be modified to improve outcomes?
d. What can be eliminated to improve efficiency?
FBA ProcessStart
Conduct FBA
High confidence in hypothesis?
Conduct full FA
Develop BIPMonitor & modify BIP regularly
Satisfactory improvement in behavior?
Develop BIP yes
no
Activity: Systems• Begin developing a systems approach to identifying
potential bullies• Screening (ODR, SSBD, Etc)• Teacher Request for Assistance• Meeting structure (when, where, what, who, how)• Quick assessment process
What is Function-based approach?• A systematic problem solving process for developing
statements about factors that:• Contribute to the occurrence and maintenance of problem
behavior, and• More importantly, serve as basis for developing proactive &
comprehensive behavior support plans.
Purpose• Increase efficiency, relevance, & effectiveness of behavior support interventions.
• Improve consistency with which behavior support plans are implemented.
• Increase accountability (legal & professional)
Use when…• Students are not successful
• Interventions need to be developed
• Existing interventions need to made more effective and/or efficient
How do I know if I have enough information?
• Description of problem behavior
• Identification of conditions that predict when problem behavior will and will not occur
• Identification of consequences that maintain problem behaviors (functions)
• Summary statements or testable hypotheses that describe specific behavior, conditions, and reinforcers
• Collection of direct observation data that support summary statements
When selecting a specific practice:
• Base selection on student identified• What, when, where, & why
• Adopt a function-based approach• Gain social or item/activity, escape social or demand, automatic
• Choose the practice that is least intrusive yet effective• Balance • Begin where you will be successful
• Match practice to context• Skills, resources, values, etc.
• Match practice to systems level• SW - Setting - Group - Individual
Function of Behavior• Power, authority, control, intimidation, bullying, etc. are
not functions
Two basic research validated functions• Positive reinforcement (get/access)• Negative reinforcement (avoid/escape)
A Matter of Perspective
•Always define the who and what you are interested in.
Why Function?• Understand the interaction from the students perspective
• Know what skills to teach
• Know how to modify the environment to:• Prevent (antecedents)• Increase appropriate (reinforcement)• Decrease inappropriate (punishment)
Activity• Moving to individual students
• Identify a list of students who you believe may need support for bullying behavior
• Choose one student and begin completing a brief behavioral assessment
• Identify: • what (behaviors), • when (antecedents), • why (maintaining consequences) and • what make its worse (setting events).
