Why Have Great Expectations?
“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.”
- Benjamin Franklin
Why Have Great Expectations?
“If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.”
-Henry Ford
Why Have Great Expectations?
“High expectations are the key to everything.”
- Sam Walton
What is PBIS?
• A school-wide POSITIVE Behavioral Intervention and Support
• Evidence-based• Allows for acknowledgement of
positive behavior• Consistent consequences for
problem behavior
Why PBIS??
“If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.”“If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.”
“If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.”“If a child doesn’t know to behave, we…
…teach? …punish?”
“Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?”
(Herner, 1998)
Why PBIS?
• Behaviors are prerequisites for academics
• Procedures and routine create structure
• Repetition is key to learning new skills:– For a child to learn something new, it
needs to be repeated on average 8 times
– For a child to unlearn an old behavior and replace it with a new behavior, the new behavior must be repeated on average 28 times
Why PBIS?
• We can no longer assume:– Students know the expectation/rules
and appropriate ways to behave
– Students will learn appropriate behaviors quickly and effectively without consistent practice and modeling
Why PBIS?
Students learn appropriate behavior in the same way a child who doesn’t know how
to read learns to read- through instruction, practice,
feedback, and encouragement.
To Promote a caring, cooperative, and consistent environment for the benefit of our students.

Whole Brain Teaching• What is it?
– Research-based program for teaching and classroom management
– Engaging the “whole brain”• Prefrontal Cortex- used to make decisions about adding "because",
giving examples, being in charge of their learning • Motor Cortex- moving & gesturing to learn and practice a concept • Visual Cortex- posting purposeful signs in class, watching our
partners gesture when we "Teach!" to help us see it as well as practice it
• Broca's Area- teaching our partner, using our words to think critically (using "because", giving examples), mirroring with words
• Wernicke's Area- still being used, but now in conjunction with sooooo much more of the brain!
• Limbic System- all of this ties together and allowsus all to have fun while learning! This engages our limbic system which makes it fun and ties it to our ling-term memory- yay!
• Where do I start?1. The rules2. The core 4
The Rules
• Rule #1: Follow directions quickly
• Rule #2: Raise your hand for permission to speak
• Rule #3: Raise your hand for permission to leave your seat
• Rule #4: Make smart choices
• Rule #5: Keep your dear teacher happy! The Rules
The Core 4• The Core 4 are the four main things you can incorporate into
your class to implement Whole Brain Teaching quickly, effectively, and with immediate results each and every day.
They are:• Class-Yes: bring class together • The Scoreboard: keep them motivated • Mirror: get them active • Teach-Okay: build community and be accountable for their
learning.
Other good stuff:• Hands & Eyes: when you need to say the most important part
of the lesson• Oh, yes-Mighty groan: engages students in scoreboard, helps
