Intended Outcomes – NSW Institute of Teachers
Describe the context for approaching student behaviour from a systems level
An overview of behavioural principles Key elements of PBS
The continuum The process School-wide systems Non-classroom systems
The role of the school PBS Leadership Team Preparing for implementation The role of the PBS Coach Opportunity to ask questions
Goals for this session…
Nature of the Problem
• In education innovations come and go in 18-48 months (Latham, 1988).
• Alderman & Taylor (2003) Optimally, sustainability should be a focus from the day a project is implemented. With most projects, the pressure of just becoming operational often postpones such a focus until well into the 2nd year.
Nature of the problemNSW Institute Outcomes
6.2.8 & 7.2.1
SW-PBS- “All The Buzz”
The Potential Problem with “The Buzz”• Practices seem to be “influenced by fads and
fashions that are adopted overenthusiastically, implemented inadequately, then discarded prematurely in favour of the latest trend.”
• Walshe and Rundall (2001) reporting on health systems
“The Buzz”…

PLAN D:
Magic Fairy Dust
Get rid of the bad apples
A professional development day
Take a systems-level approach to student (and adult) behaviour and learning
Our solution
“A punitive school discipline environment is a major factor contributing to antisocial behaviour 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 behaviour.”
Hemphill et al., 2006
NSW Institute Outcomes 2.2.3 & 6.2.8
• 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 behaviour are opportunities to learn
and practise pro-social behaviour
What does a positive, encouraging school climate look like?

School-wide PBS:a definition
PBS is a broad range of systemic and individualised strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behaviour.

• Discuss the School-wide, Non-classroom, Classroom and Individual Student sections of the EBS Survey:
• Use the time to seek clarification on any of the features• Discuss the features as a team• Consider and plan what professional learning staff will
need and plan the systems it will take to implement the survey with your staff
• The goal is to bring the survey results with you to the two day conference so that you will use this data to assist the development of your action plan
Team TimePlan Preparation Task 3

School-wide Action Plan Overview
Include the development, implementation, and management activities of your plan. SWPBL Critical Elements
1. Staff commitment obtained and maintained throughout the school year.
80% of staff buy-in and participation Basic behavioural principles taught/reviewed with staff. Plans developed for training staff and students PBL launched within school community Parents informed about PBL
2. PBL Team established (representative of the school, protected meeting times (at least monthly), leader, roles, statement of purpose).
3. Staff Survey summary reports are presented to staff. 4. Expectations developed (3-5 positively stated)
Rules developed for non-classroom settings Lesson plans developed for teaching expectations/rules School policy/procedure identified to embed the teaching
of expectations within the school community
5. Reward/recognition program established (what/when/how) 6. Establish system for responding to behavioural violations
Behaviours defined and categorised (major/minor). Consequences hierarchy developed for classroom and
office referrals. Discipline referral process established and flow chart
developed. 7. Establish information system/SWIS readiness requirements reviewed.
How will team evaluate progress of PBL activities? (How are we doing? What needs to be modified, maintained, and terminated?)
