Why Bother? The Data• Disproportionate suspensions and expulsions

based on disability and race• Teacher turn-over rates• 1st response to school violence is “get tougher”• Students who are truant are given out-of-school

suspensions• Tennessee’s new “restraint law” • Skills cited most often missing by the business

round tables hosted by Governor Bredesen …

Why Bother? It Works• Reduction of office discipline referrals and

• Started implementing SWPBS in 2007• In August 2007-08, averaged 35 ODRs/day/month. In

August 2008-09, there were only 6 ODRs/day/month.• In September 2009: “This year has started

unbelievably well. Per day per month is down to 6.8!!! Last year: 13.8 and that was down by 52% from the prior year. It shows in the building. I AM SO EXCITED!”

Why Bother? It Works• Improved perceptions of school safety. Students who

carry guns to school do so to defend themselves. They perceive the school to be unsafe.

“I wanted to let you know that the [SW]PBS training we’ve been doing with the

students this week has been incredible. The teachers are

highly invested and the results have been

immediate. It doesn’t even resemble the same

building!”

Our Graduation Rate has risen from 69.6% to 74.17% to 83.45% over the past three years. Our Attendance Rate has also increased. We also went from having approximately 55-70 students retained as freshman to this year having only 24. - Patrick R. Fraley, Principal, Cherokee High School, Hawkins County

… we significantly increased the positive behavior of our students and decreased the amount of teaching time lost to disruptive behavior. Having more teaching and learning time in a positive learning environment has significantly increased our student achievement scores. What a win-win!!- Joan Tidwell, Principal, Fairview Elementary School, Williamson County

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

• Will not change if we do not change what we are doing

3 Teach Behavioral Expectations Associated with School-Wide Rules

“When all students in the school are taught the same social expectations, a social culture is established where students have both personal knowledge about the social behaviors expected in the school and the knowledge that everyone else in the school knows those same social expectations.” (Blonigen et al., 2008)

53

from Keys to Effective Discipline, David Kilpatrick, Ph.D.

The issue concerning rewards versus bribes with regard to schools reinforcement systems is all in the delivery of the reward. The adult is in control if the reward. The child is in control of a bribe.

A reward is something provided to a student to show appreciation for appropriate behavior. The reward follows the appropriate behavior and the adult is in control.

If the child is in control of the situation, it is considered a bribe. The reward should not be promised to the student prior to a behavior or used as the antecedent, or “bargain” in anticipation of appropriate behavior.

54

A critical by-product of an effective reinforcement system is establishing positive relationships

and rapport.

55

When asking teachers to do

something new & different from what

they have previously done

they need frequent positive

reinforcement just like students

If you want to change student behavior, you must first change

adult behavior.

Develop an array of procedures for addressing violations to school-wide behavioral expectations Clearly define behavior problems such that

definitions are mutually exclusive and understood by all staff.

BEHAVIOR DEFINITION

Inappropriate Language

horseplay or roughhousing, sustained out-of-seat behavior

Theft Student is in possession of, having passed on, or being responsible for removing someone else’s property or has signed a person’s name

Weapons Student is in possession of any weapon (gun, knife, knuckles, etc.) whether real or look-alike, or any other object readily capable of causing bodily harm

Determine which violations are managed by office (major) and which are managed by staff (minor). Ensure a system exists for monitoring the violations and is known by all faculty and staff.

3 Develop an array of procedures for addressing violations to school-wide behavioral expectations


3 Develop procedures for on-going data-based monitoring, including universal screening, and evaluation

As of January 2007, Tennessee became 1 of 30 states participating in the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network dedicated to aligning high school curriculum, raising academic standards, improving assessments, and strengthening accountability policies with the demands of college and work to prepare young people for post-secondary education, work, and citizenship.

“... job skills yielding the highest priority in surveys also tended to be the skills frequently cited in roundtables as missing among high school graduates.”…“Business leaders universally agreed on the importance of key professional or ‘soft’ skills…”.The highest-rated professional skill was “take responsibility, act ethically, and be honest” … was closely followed by “take initiative and be able to work independently” and “organize and prioritize tasks, schedule time, and anticipate obstacles”. “ … another top-rated soft skill, [was] ‘”meet professional expectations regarding speech, appearance, punctuality and manners”.

• Less than 25% of school enrollment• Account for over 50% of behavioral incidents• Consume significant amounts of time and

Major Characteristics of Secondary/Tier 2 Interventions (Academic AND Behavioral)

Addressed once quality, research-based Tier 1 preventions and practices are established.

Team-based problem solving.Focus on smaller targeted groups of students who are at

risk of engaging in more serious behavior problems and/or academic failure.

On-going monitoring of student progress and data-based decision-making.

Time-limited, intensive instruction focusing on targeted group of students common deficit area(s).

Major Characteristics of Secondary/ Tier 2 Interventions (continued)

Known by all faculty and staff.Ongoing identification and referral process Rapid access to and continuously available

Keep working at it.

Plow forth in tough times.

It takes time, but it is worth the time.

We’ve learned a lot…

We’re still learning….

Research and practice keep teaching us how to implement and sustain with fidelity – more effectively, more efficiently, more practicably.
