“Da place ta be”
During 4th period, in-school detention room has so many students that overflow is sent to counselor’s office. Most students have been assigned for being in hallways after the late bell.
“Four corners”
Three rival gangs are competing for “four corners.” Teachers actively avoid the area. Because of daily conflicts, vice principal has moved her desk to four corners.
“Smoke Pit”
45 cigarette smoking violations have been reported in past month by security staff & neighbors.
“Where ya supposed to be?

2 Worrisome & Ineffective Responses to Problem
Behavior
• Get Tough (practices)
• Train-&-Hope (systems)
Worry #1:Getting Tough approach
Runyon: “I hate this f____ing school, & you’re a dumbf_____.”
Teacher: “That is disrespectful language. I’m sending you to the office so you’ll learn never to say those words again. When you’re ready to take responsibility for your actions & behave like an adult, you can be in my classroom!”
Increasingly “aversive” reactive discipline continuum
• Warning• ODR & warning• ODR & in-school suspension• ODR & out-school suspension• Expulsion hearing
Get Tough Philosophy• Increase monitoring for future problem
behavior• Clamp down on rule violators• Re-re-re-review rules & sanctions• Extend continuum of aversive
consequences• Improve consistency of use of punishments• Establish “bottom line”
Predictable reactive responses
When we experience aversive situation, we select interventions that produce immediate relief by– Removing student
– Removing ourselves
– Modifying physical environment
– Assign responsibility for change to student &/or others
System’s response…Get tougher
• Zero tolerance policies
• Security guards & metal detectors, & surveillance cameras
• Student uniforms
• Expulsion
• Exclusionary options (e.g., alternative programs)
But….false sense of safety & security!
• Fosters environments of control
• Triggers & reinforces antisocial behavior
• Shifts accountability away from school
• Devalues child-adult relationship
• Weakens relationship between academic & social behavior programming
Assumptions• Adolescents should know better…most do• Adolescent will “get it” & change…many do• Adolescents must take responsibility for own
behavior….most know they should & do….appropriately & inappropriately
• Punishment teaches right way….not really• Parents will take care of it…many try• Adolescents will learn from natural consequences….most do
WHAT ABOUR NON-RESPONDERS?
Science of behavior has taught us that students….
• Are NOT born with “bad behaviors”• Do NOT learn when presented
contingent aversive consequences
……..Do learn better ways of behaving by being taught directly & receiving positive feedback
Pay attention to function
• “Lantana, you skipped 2 school days, so we’re going to suspend you for 2 more.”
• “Phloem, I’m taking your book away because you obviously aren’t ready to learn.”
• “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.”
Worry #2:“Train & Hope”

Implementation
So…How should we respond?
• 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)
• Positive, predictable school-wide 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
SW-PBS Logic!Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable for all students(Zins & Ponti, 1990)
