Behavior No student wants to misbehave All behavior, both good and bad, is a form of
communication Behavior does not occur in a vacuum,
something causes it If one child misbehaves, their behavior affects
every other child like ripples in a pond
Old Way of Discipline We traditionally handle discipline by getting
tough, tougher, and then sending them to the office. This leads to: High teacher turnover and burnout Draining administrative time Taking away time from instruction Low academic scores Poor teacher/student relationship EVERYONE frustrated
What does traditional discipline do?
Time outs, in-school suspensions, out-of- school suspensions, expulsions, etc. are all a form of punishment. We can not punish a child into doing anything. The same behavior will return or evolve into another behavior. It does not teach the student anything!
Personal Story Think about a time when you were disciplined
in school. How did you feel? How did it feel to walk into the classroom the
next day? Were you embarrassed? Can you remember ever having a teacher snap at
you? This hurts just as much and leaves a lasting hurt feeling.
What is PBIS??? We base our school-wide discipline policy on
the PBIS philosophy. BSES supports our students by providing proactive strategies that defines and teaches appropriate student behaviors in a positive school environment. We provide a positive environment in all areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms).
What is PBIS??? Common purpose and approach to discipline Clear set of positive expectations and behaviors Procedures for teaching expected behavior Continuum of procedures for encouraging expected
behavior Continuum of procedures for discouraging
inappropriate behavior Procedures for on-going monitoring and evaluation Active Supervision!!!
Traditional Discipline vs. PBIS Away from a Punitive Approach
• Punishment
• Exclusion Towards a Positive Approach
• Teaching social skills
• Teaching replacement behaviors
Reviewing the Three Tiers
Green Zoned StudentsGreen Zoned students respond positively to our school’s expectations, our proactive approaches, and reinforcements. They may require some redirection, however for the most part they follow routines and procedures.
Proactive Classroom expectations are taught and encouraged throughout the
year, not just the first 2 weeks of school Routines are consistent and predictable Teachers model expectations Appropriate, engaging instructional activities Provide positive feedback to students during lessons Limited non instructional time Smooth transitions: each student should know what they are
expected to do during this time Ratio of 6 positives to 1 negative adult-student interaction Active supervision-scan, move, interact: playground, hall, arrival
and departure Positive reinforcement through praise, Starbucks, Wii Room, end of
the day star, Star Students
Types of InterventionsAt the moment the behavior occurs
Proximity Giving them the “LOOK” Redirections for minor, infrequent behavior
Tapping pencil Constantly getting up
Take the student aside to describe desired behavior Refrain from embarrassing the student Whisper or take them out to the hall
Provide them time to respond Acknowledge others engaged in desired task Overcorrection
Having the student repeat the task, but in the appropriate manner: walking in the hall
Allowed a break: drink, bathroom Cool off in Eddie’s room
After Reflection of the Behavior
Modify the environment Rearrange desks Move the student Remove object (s)
Pre-Corrections Restate the expectation or directions
before entering a situation they have previously experienced problem behavior
Role playing activity Mentor system
Having them go talk to a teacher Re-teach expectations Increase supervision Phone call home to express concerns Increase your supports when a known difficult
task is about to occur Math Writing
BIPs or Check In/Check Out
Yellow and Red Zoned Students Yellow and Red zoned students require
additional interventions to follow routines and procedures. This may include: Teaching social skills Behavior Intervention Plans Check In/Check Out Reports School Buddies and Mentors
Does it Work?
What does PBIS look like at BSES?
Each school develops their own unique system At BSES we:
Created student expectations: S.T.A.R. Teach expectations for the first two weeks of school
and throughout the year as needed Reinforce with verbal praises, a star in their planner at
the end of the day, Starbucks, Star Classroom of the Month, Wii Room, Star Students, etc.
Zone signals for appropriate voice level
Expectations“Bee” a S.T.A.R. student!
Safety, Takes Responsibility, Achieve, and Respect
Students have expectations throughout the school and on the bus. These S.T.A.R. expectations are visibly located in the classrooms, bathrooms, hallways, cafeteria, and on the buses. They include rules such as do your best, travel the shortest route, walk, keep your hands, feet, & objects to yourself, etc.

Starbucks When a student follows expectations they
earn a Starbuck. Golden Starbuck (5 pts) Given to the whole class
by the Related Arts teachers and Subs Silver Starbuck (3 pts) Given to the whole class Other colors (1 pts) Given to individual students
Filling out a Starbuck All Starbucks are filled out so the teacher
knows: Who wrote the Starbuck Which expectation they followed The area they were “caught” following
expectations
What does the Student Earn? Each Starbuck is added to the class pot At the end of the month, the Starbucks are
counted Top classes become the Star Classrooms of the
Month and earn a party. Top two students from each class earn a pass to
the Wii Room
Zone Areas Zone 0: No Talking
Hallway, restroom, and when indicated in the classroom, bus, and cafeteria
Zone 1: Whisper When indicated in the classroom and cafeteria
Zone 2: Inside Voice/Conversational When indicated in the classroom
Zone 3 Outside Voice Recess
How Can You Help Us??? Refrain from say “No” “Stop That” “Quit” instead say “In the
cafeteria, STAR students keep their area clean” Help teach expectations in your area Assist teachers with maintain routines. This will ensure routines are
consistent and predictable Model expectations Provide positive feedback to students while in the cafeteria, office,
bus, etc. Provide a ratio of 6 positives to 1 negative adult-student interaction Provide active supervision if possible - scan, move, interact Provide students with positive reinforcement such as praise and
Starbucks
Our Backbone You are essential to make this work.
o You pick up on behaviors that teachers do not see.
o Office staff, custodians, and bus drivers see the students when they out of the teacher’s eye sight
o You can provide the students with an additional source of positive reinforcement: Starbucks and praise
Thank YouWe need YOU to make this work
