FIRST TURN/LAST TURN

Why a positive approach to discipline?

• Most common responses to at risk students are punishment and exclusion (Lipsey, 1991; Tolan & Guerra, 1994)

• Punishment, counseling and psychotherapy are the least effective responses to reduce antisocial and violent behavior in group settings (Gottfredson, 1997; Kazdin, 1985; Lipsey, 1991, 1992; Lipsey & Wilson, 1993; Tolan & Guerra, 1994)

• Punishing behaviors without a universal system of support is associated with increased occurrences of aggression, vandalism, truancy, tardiness and dropping out (Mayer and Sulzer-Azaroff (1991)

What does a system need to include?

• Body of evidence that enables us to identify strategies that

are effective in preventing and reducing problem behavior (Biglan, 1995; Gottfredson, 1997; Colvin, et al., 1993; Lipsey, 1991, 1992; Mayer, 1995; Sugai & Horner, 1994; Tolan & Guerra, 1994; Walker, et al., 1995; Walker, et al., 1996)

Text as Expert

What PBS is not…

• A “Train and Hope” model• A “Get Tough” model• Not limited to any particular group of children –

it’s for all children• Not a specific practice or curriculum…it’s a

general approach to preventing problem behavior• Not new…its based on a long history of

behavioral practices &effective instructionaldesign & strategies

What is PBS ?

“PBS” is a research-based systems approach designed to enhance the capacity of schools to…

(Lewis & Sugai, 1999; Sugai et al., 1999; Sugai & Horner, 1994, 1999)

effectively educate all students, including students with challenging social behaviors adopt & sustain the use of effective instructional practices

What is a Cool Tool?

A Cool Tool is a lesson that teaches school-wide behavioral expectations. It provides students with the “tools” to make positive academic and behavioral choices.

Teaching Behavioral Expectations

1) Teach

2) Model

3) Practice

4) Reinforce

5) Reteach

Tips for Teaching Behavior

• Practice should be conducted in actual setting whenever possible.

• Students should never practice incorrect examples.

• Use frequent acknowledgement.

• Pre-correct/Remind/Reinforce with students before activity.
