SW-PBS Staff Kickoff

OBJECTIVES

• Celebrate Commitment To Student Success – Academic, Social-Emotional, & Behavioral  
• Highlight the Research & the “Biggest Idea” of PBS “Research is demonstrating that schools make greater academic gains when they simultaneously build a school-wide positive social-culture.” 

“SW-PBS organizes adults and students to create a social-culture in schools that will encourage positive behavior and interactions, while discouraging problem behaviors.  This social-culture will lead to a safer environment where students achieve academically and build positive relationships with each other and with adults.” 

Explain how SW-PBS helps staff to build a school-wide social-culture   

Use of Effective Practices 5 components:

1. DEFINE –-Clear & concise definition of behavior expectations

2. TEACH –- Direct teaching of behavior expectations

3. REMIND -– Daily reminders & supervision – “The Positive Nag”

4. CELEBRATE –- Consistent acknowledgement of the expected behaviors

5. CORRECT –- Consistent corrections of the problem behaviors   

Use of Data

1. Continuous review of information/Data – ODRs, Attendance, Tardies,   Academics, Homework Completion, etc

2. Asking specific questions of the data – what, where, when, who, why, how often – to help guide school-wide intervention    

Use of Systems of Support

1. Some students will require more support/intervention to be successful  in our social culture

2. This additional support will be organized through three tiers of support  – School-Wide, Targeted, & Intensive (Triangle)
