behavioral supports for all students…...
MAIN TRAINING OBJECTIVES

Team Implementation Checklist
– Presentation for school
• Organize for upcoming school year
Getting to these objectives
• Rationale, context, & features
• Implementation practices, structures, & processes
• Outcomes & examples
• Brief activities & team action planning
Rose, L. C., & Gallup. A. M. (2005). 37th annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup poll of the public’s attitudes toward the public schools. Kappan, September, 41-59.
TOP FOUR 2005
• Lack of financial support (since 2000)
• Overcrowded schools
• Lack of discipline & control
• Drug use
#1 SPOT
• >2000 lack of financial support
• 1991-2000 drug use
• <1991 lack of discipline
Why Bother?• In 1 year, 1 school (880) had 5100 ODRs, 1 student received 87 ODRs,
& 1 teacher gave out 273 ODRs
• 2 high schools used law enforcement to give students $113 fines for incidents of profanity
• In 1 urban school district: 2004-05, 400 kindergartners were expelled
• In 1 state 55% white, 73% Latino, & 88% Black 4th graders aren’t proficient readers
• UConn has no behavior/classroom management course for teachers or administrators
• 1st response to school violence is “get tougher”
• In 1 K-3 school in Mar, no teacher could give reading levels of their students
• 2nd 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., phonmic awareness, fluency)
• Across nation, students who are truant are given out-of-school suspensions
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
School-based Prevention & Youth Development Programming
Coordinated Social Emotional & Academic Learning Greenberg et al. (2003) American Psychologist
• Teach children social skills directly in real context
• “Foster respectful, supportive relations among students, school staff, & parents”
• Support & reinforce positive academic & social behavior through comprehensive systems
• Invest in multiyear, multicomponent programs
• Combine classroom & school- & community-wide efforts
• Precorrect & continue prevention efforts
Lessons Learned: White House Conference on School Safety
• Students, staff, & community must have means of communicating that is immediate, safe, & reliable
• Positive, respectful, predictable, & trusting student-teacher-family relationships are important
• High rates of academic & social success are important
• Positive, respectful, predictable, & trusting school environment/climate is important for all students
• Metal detectors, surveillance cameras, & security guards are insufficient deterents
Lessons Learned: White House Conference on School Safety
Early Correlates/Indicators
• Significant change in academic &/or social behavior patterns
• Frequent, unresolved victimization
• Extremely low rates of academic &/or social success
• Negative/threatening written &/or verbal messages
Competing, Inter-related National Goals
• Improve literacy, math, geography, science, etc.
• Make schools safe, caring, & focused on teaching & learning
• Improve student character & citizenship
• Eliminate bullying
• Prevent drug use
• Prepare for postsecondary education
• Provide a free & appropriate education for all
• Prepare viable workforce
• Affect rates of high risk, antisocial behavior
• Leave no child behind
• Etc….
SW-PBS Logic!Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable(Zins & Ponti, 1990)
2 Worries & Ineffective Responses to Problem
Behavior
• Get Tough (practices)
• Train-&-Hope (systems)
Worry #1“Teaching” by Getting Tough
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….starting now!”
Immediate & seductive solution….”Get Tough!”
• Clamp down & increase monitoring
• Re-re-re-review rules
• Extend continuum & consistency of consequences
• Establish “bottom line”
...Predictable individual response
Reactive responses are predictable….
When we experience aversive situation, we want select interventions that produce immediate relief
– Remove student
– Remove ourselves
– Modify physical environment
– Assign responsibility for change to student &/or others
When behavior doesn’t improve, we “Get Tougher!”
• Zero tolerance policies
• Increased surveillance
• Increased suspension & expulsion
• In-service training by expert
• Alternative programming
…..Predictable systems response!
Erroneous assumption that student…
• Is inherently “bad”
• Will learn more appropriate behavior through increased use of “aversives”
• Will be better tomorrow…….
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
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….consider function
Non-examples of Function-Based approach
“Function” = outcome, result, purpose, consequence
• “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.”

Office Discipline Referrals
• Definition– Kid-Teacher-Administrator interaction
– Underestimation of actual behavior
• Improving usefulness & value– Clear, mutually exclusive, exhaustive definitions
– Distinction between office v. classroom managed
– Continuum of behavior support
– Positive school-wide foundations
– W/in school comparisons
Do we need to tweak our action plan?
• How often?
• Who?
• What?
• Where?
• When?
• How much?
If problem,
• Which students/staff?
• What system?
• What intervention?
• What outcome?
+ If many students are making same mistake, consider changing system….not students+ Start by teaching, monitoring & rewarding…before increasing punishment
Discipline Data Review
• 8 minutes
• Complete “Discipline Referral Data Self-Assessment” Checklist (9)
• Touch “Data-Decision Making” (B)

Character Education• Easy to change moral
knowledge..... ...difficult to change moral conduct
• To change moral conduct...
– Adults must model moral behavior
– Students must experience academic success
– Students must be taught social skills for success
Acknowledging SW Expectations: Rationale
• To learn, humans require regular & frequent feedback on their actions
• Humans experience frequent feedback from others, self, & environment– Planned/unplanned
– Desirable/undesirable
• W/o formal feedback to encourage desired behavior, other forms of feedback shape undesired behaviors
Are “Rewards” Dangerous?
“…our research team has conducted a series of reviews and analysis of (the reward) literature; our conclusion is that there is no inherent negative property of reward. Our analyses indicate that the argument against the use of rewards is an overgeneralization based on a narrow set of circumstances.”– Cameron, 2002

What does SWPBS look like? • >80% of students can tell you what is expected of them &
give behavioral example because they have been taught, actively supervised, practiced, & acknowledged.
• Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed negative
• Function based behavior support is foundation for addressing problem behavior.
• Data- & team-based action planning & implementation are operating.
• Administrators are active participants.
• Full continuum of behavior support is available to all students
