Core Feature

PBIS Implementation Goal

I. Classroom Systems

42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms.

43. Classroom routines and procedures are explicitly indentified for activities where problems often occur (e.g. entering class, asking questions, sharpening pencil, using restroom, dismissal)

44. Expected Classroom routines are taught.

45. Classroom teacher uses immediate and specific praise.

46. Acknowledgement of students demonstrating adherence to classroom rules and routines occurs more frequently than

acknowledgment of inappropriate behaviors.

47. Procedures exist for tracking classroom behavior problems

48. Classrooms have a range of consequences/interventions for problem behavior that are documented an consistently delivered.

Page 2: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Objective

• Identify actions for a school-wide team to improve the quality of classroom management throughout their school

Page 3: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS)

• Whole-school universal preventive intervention

• Applies behavioral, social learning, organizational behavioral theories

• Targets general population• Requires a shift from punitive to preventive

Horner, R. H., Sugai, G., Todd, A. W., & Lewis-Palmer, T. (2005). School-wide positive behavior support. In L. Bambara & L. Kern (Eds.), Individualized supports for students with problem behaviors: Designing positive behavior plans (pp. 359-390). New York: Guilford Press.

Big Idea

• We often assume green zone green zone is in place everywhere– But what about the classroom?– How is PBIS being used in the classroom to prevent

yellow zone behaviors?– By fortifying the green zone, we can reduce need

for yellow zone

Today’s Questions

How important is classroom management?

How can teachers ‘grow the green’? How can we identify areas of strengths using the Classroom Management Self Assessment?

Classroom behavior support practices blend with school-wide systems

As a team, how will you work to make all classrooms effective settings?

Page 10: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

In a Well-Managed Classroom

• Students are actively involved in their work• Students know what is expected of them and

are generally successful• There is relatively little wasted time,

confusion, or disruption• The climate of the classroom is work-oriented,

but relaxed and pleasant

Page 11: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

In Well Managed Classrooms Students:

• Follow a predictable schedule

• Perform with high rates of academic engagement

• Experience high rates of academic achievement

• Respond with high rates of compliance

• Follow a schedule with high rates of student managed behavior

• Use problem solving structures

• Follow smooth and efficient transitions

Page 12: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

In Classrooms that were IneffectiveWehby, Symons, &Shores (1995)

• Less than half of student’s hand raises or correct academic responses were acknowledged by teachers

• About 26 “to do” statements per hour

• Less than 2 praise statements per hour

• 64% of “to do” statements were social in nature

• Most academic work consisted of independent seatwork

• Inconsistent distribution of teacher attention

• Compliance to a command generally resulted in the delivery of another command

Page 13: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

What the Research Says about Classroom Management

• Linked with positive student outcomes (academic and behavior)

• Increased risk of preventing more serious problems among at-risk kids

• Supports all students in the prevention of possible current and future behavior problems.

• Strong management signals to kids that the class is a safe place to learn.

• Well managed classrooms are rated as having more positive climates.

(Aber et al., 1998; Mitchell, Bradshaw & Leaf, 2009)

Page 14: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

What the Research says about Classroom Management

• Greater student engagement (Morrison, 1979)

• Friendlier peer interactions and helpful behaviors, more attentive, less aggression (Susman, Husten-Stein & Friedrich-Coffer, 1980).

• Teachers experience greater efficacy (Woolfolk, 2002)

– Increased student achievement– Creative and flexible instructional delivery– Teacher longevity

Page 15: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Evidence based practices in classroom management

• Maximize structure in your classroom. – Routines, Environment

• Post, teach, review, monitor, and reinforce a small number of positively stated expectations.

– Teaching matrix for the classroom• Actively engage students in observable ways.

– Think beyond the worksheet• Establish a continuum of strategies to acknowledge

appropriate behavior.– Contingent and specific

• Establish a continuum of strategies to respond to inappropriate behavior.

– Error correction, planned ignoring, time away from activity(Simonsen, Fairbanks, Briesch, & Myers Sugai, in preparation)

Page 16: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

10 Key Features of Classroom Management

• Review each feature• Consider a system for taking this information

to the whole faculty• Build a “measure” of school-wide classroom

management– Use this measure for action planning and

continuous improvement

Page 17: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

1. Behavioral Expectations:Invest in Appropriate Behavior

• Define and teach 3-5 expectations for your classroom early in year.

• Positively stated expectations• Easy to remember• Posted in the classroom• Consistent with School-wide rules/expectations• Taught Directly

– Positive and negative examples• Examples:

– Be safe, Be responsible, Be respectful– Respect others, Respect property, Respect self

Page 18: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

The Value of Classroom Expectations

• Rules serve as a framework for guiding both student and teacher behavior throughout the year

• Communicate teacher expectations• Provide basis for teacher to “catch the students

being good”• Facilitate communication (teacher-student,

student-student)• Personalize school-wide expectations

Page 19: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Identify your attention signal: Date taught

Determine your daily/hourly schedule

Is your schedule posted?

Page 21: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

2. Establish a Predictable Environment

• Define and teach classroom routines• How to enter class and begin to work• How to predict the schedule for the day• What to do if you do not have materials• What to do if you need help• What to do if you need to go to the bathroom• What to do if you are handing in late material• What to do if someone is bothering you.• Signals for moving through different activities.

– “Show me you are listening”• How to determine if you are doing well in class

• Establish a signal for obtaining class attention• Teach effective transitions.

Activity: 12 minIdentify Routines

What are 3 routines common across classrooms in your school?

Complete the matrix for your classroom (or a classroom you know well)

What is a PROCESS you might use with your faculty to define and share effective examples?

Page 25: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Teach Students to Self-Manage

• Once students know the routines, allow routine initiation to be prompted by normal events (the bell… completion of an assignment)… rather than rely on teacher prompts.

• Teach self-management– The target behavior– The self-management behavior

– Prompts– Consequences

Page 26: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

3. Active Supervision

• Move• Interact• Acknowledge• Pre-correct

• Proximity makes a difference

Page 27: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Activity: Pre-correction.

Define a routine with higher than typical problem behavior.

How might you use pre-correction with this routine?What would you do?When would you do it?How would you know if it was being effective?

Page 28: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

4. Establish a “positive environment”

• Five instances of praise for every correction.

• Begin each class period with a celebration.

• Your first comment to a child establishes behavioral momentum.– Engelmann, Mace, “interspersed requests”– Behavioral priming

• Provide multiple paths to success/praise.• Group contingencies, personal contingencies, etc

Page 29: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Increasing Positive Interactions

• 1 (negative) to 5 (positives)– Remind yourself of the “debt”

• Specific vs. general praise

• Identify specific times to provide praise– Before certain lessons – your reminder

– During transitions – students’ reminder

Page 30: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Increasing Positive Interactions

• Use individual conferences to provide specific praise

• “Search” for reinforceable behaviors• Reduce attention to misbehavior and

increase time rewarding positive behaviors• Increase positive interactions and use

noncontingent positives

5. Design a Functional Physical Layout for the Classroom

– Different areas of classroom defined for different activities

• Define how to determine “what happens where”– Traffic patterns– Groups versus separate work stations– Visual access

• Teacher access to students at all times• Student access to relevant instructional materials

– Density– Your desk

Page 34: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms
Page 35: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Questions for Planning Physical Space

• How many students will you have in the room at one time?

• How should your pupil’s seats be grouped?• What kinds of activities will be taking place in your

classroom?• Do any students need to be isolated? If so, is it for

certain activities or for most of the day?• How is movement in the classroom to be regulated?• What can you do to create a sense of well-being and

safety for your students in your classroom?

Page 36: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Physical Space

• Divide Classroom into defined areas• Locate areas within easy access of any external

requirements (e.g. sink, light)• Separate incompatible activities • Limit barriers that hinder supervision• Keep aisles and pathways are clear and don’t pass

through work areas• Avoid large open spaces that invite inappropriate

physical activities• Locate the Teacher’s desk: out of the way

6. Maximize Academic Engaged Time

• Efficient transitions• Maximize opportunities for student responses• Self-management• Active Supervision

• Move• Monitor• Communication/Contact/Acknowledge

Page 40: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Wong: The 4 kinds of time at school

• Allocated Time 100%– Total time kids are in class

• Instructional Time 90%– Total time you can observe a teacher teaching

• Engaged Time 75%– Total time a student is involved in the learning

• Academic learning time 35%– Time during which a student can demonstrate their

learning.

Page 41: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Techniques for maximizing academic engagement during teacher-led

discussions• Provide ample opportunities to respond• Two minute pause• Think-write or draw• Outcome starter sentence• Reaction diagram• Compare/contrast diagram

Page 42: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Maximize Academic Engaged Time: Instruction Influences Behavior

• Pacing• Opportunities for student responses

• Acquisition vs Practice/Performance

• Student feedback from teacher• Student choice• Sequence activities so preferred activities

follow more demanding activities

Page 43: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Activity:

• Count opportunities for student responses during a 20 min teaching lesson.– Elementary– Middle– High School

Page 44: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

7. Ensure Academic Success:Match Curriculum to Student Skills

• Failure as a discriminative stimulus for problem behavior.– 70% success rate.– Young learners versus experienced learners– How can we teach with success and still teach the

required curriculum?• Monitor and adapt

– Maintain instructional objective, but adjust the curriculum/instruction

– The art of curricular adaptation (strategies)• Have fun

8. Establish an effective hierarchy of consequences for problem behavior

• Do not ignore problem behavior – (unless you are convinced the behavior is

maintained by adult attention).• Establish predictable consequences• Establish individual consequences AND group

consequences• Define the school-wide “rule” for what is

managed in the classroom and what is sent to the office

Page 47: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Activity

Define the school-wide rule for what should be managed in the classroom versus what should be sent to the office.

Any behavior that places the student or others at risk.Any major behavioral violationAny behavior that requires more than 1 min of teacher

time pulled from instruction for all.

Page 48: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Decreasing Negative Interactions

• Determine if aspects of the environment (physical setting, schedule, organization, social situation) are contributing

• Use “pre-corrections” to prevent the misbehavior

• Praise other students for doing things the “right way”

Page 49: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

• Applied consistently• Immediate feedback• Pre-determined plan for major, minor, repeat

violations• Plan consistent with school-wide plan• Consequence linked to context

Page 54: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Strategies for Intervening

• Proximity– Adult presence and supervision

• Gentle verbal reprimand– Short, very brief disruption, clear– State positive rather than negative (accusative)

• Discussion– Most effective if discreet and occurs later

• If not, you leave class waiting; misbehaving student can get rewarded; student will likely be defensive; your own frustration

Page 55: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Strategies for Intervening (cont)

• Praise someone else– Descriptive praise, but avoid embarrassment– Best for younger children who are eager to please

• Restitution– Repair damage but don’t hold grudge– Reparation is not punishment

• Use sincerity– How their behavior is affecting others (& you)– Keep emotions in check

Page 56: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Strategies for Intervening (cont)

• Family Contact

– Be objective and descriptive, not judgmental – Suggest that family discuss the situation later and

communicate expectations• Don’t imply child should be punished

– Create partnership with parent to support child• Humor

– Best when used selectively with older students– Avoid sarcasm, embarrassing, or making joke of

child or situation

Page 57: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

9. Vary modes of instruction

• Group lecture• Small group• Independent work• Integrating Activities• Peer tutoring

Page 58: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

10. Teacher has System to Request Assistance

• Teacher should be able to identify need for assistance and request help easily.– Teacher request for assistance form– Three times each year when teacher is prompted

to identify students needing extra support.

Request for assistance form

Page 59: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Models for implementing new skills (or support with existing

• Consultation and feedback can be effective in increasing effective teaching practices (Sheridan & Welch, 1996)

• Peer coaching as a way to support implementation of new skills – Conduct observations of each other

• Teacher teams

– Invite feedback (during challenges)– Ask for help!

Page 63: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Develop system to present best practice and encourage teacher engagement and

implementation– Develop Annual Training Calendar – Created timelines for implementation of each feature

• Weekly skill and/or feature mini-lessons• Cool Tools

– Time for grade level collaboration related to the lesson• Time and resources for after school work sessions (voluntary)• Dedicated time during staff meetings

– Planned booster session– Orientation for new staff

University of MissouriAdapted from Lori Newcomer, Ph.D.

Page 64: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

How will staff get feedback

• Create small learning communities– Ability for teachers to observe each other– Get access to data- performance feedback

Team builds structure- Van Acker• Grade level teams provide support• buddy system • core master teachers

Page 65: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Activity

Assume you are the faculty for the whole school.Independently rate your own classroom

If you do not have a classroom rate the classroom you know best.

Produce a “Mean” for the school by taking the mean of your classrooms.

Identify the one element of the self-assessment that would make the biggest difference. Identify one action to be completed within the next three months of school that would improve that element.

Page 69: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Building Systems to Support Best Practices in the Classroom

• How will staff get skills?• How will staff get feedback – build ongoing

structure- buddy system, assigned core master teachers

• Develop Training Calendar of PD-orientation, annual staff development days, staff meetings

• Develop Access for Teacher Support- Request for Assistance

• Communication to Staff Support “Team”• Can District/Admin deliver Time and Resources?

Page 70: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Classroom Management is a School-wide Consideration

• PBIS School team provides support– Clear delineation of office-managed versus

classroom-managed problems– Training on effective teaching and behavior

support strategies– Access to evidence-based strategies– Materials for implementing interventions– Easy way for teachers to request secondary and

tertiary interventions assistance

Response cost…

…a procedure in which a specific amount ofavailable reinforcers is contingently withdrawn following a response in an attempt to decreasebehavior.

Use Data to Examine Classroom System: Tools to help

How do you know PBIS is in place?• Collect data

– Are rules being followed?– If there are errors,

• who is making them?• where are the errors occurring?• what kind of errors are being made?

• Summarize data (look for patterns)• Use data to make decisions

Classroom Check-up

• A consultation model designed to increase behavior management– Conduct observations– Assess critical classroom variables

• Positive to negatives• Number of disruptions per 5 minutes• Percent of on-task kids

– Provide feedback– Collaboratively design individualized intervention plan – Teachers self-monitor/ and are receive ongoing feedback and

support

(Reinke et al., 2008)

Classroom Check-Up Observation Form Step 1

• Opportunities to respond• Correct academic responses• Disruptions• Ratio of Interactions

– Specific praise– General praise– Reprimands

Classroom Check-Up Observation Form Step 2

For the next 5 minutes, focus on a different student every 5 seconds.

Record a “+” symbol to indicate on-task or engaged behavior and a “–” symbol to indicate off-task behavior. When each student has been observed, begin the progression again.

Continue until 5 minutes has elapsed.

A few cautions and adaptations to practices

Response Cost

Page 89: Core Feature PBIS Implementation Goal I. Classroom Systems 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms

Response cost…

…a procedure in which a specific amount ofavailable reinforcers is contingently withdrawn following a response in an attempt to decreasebehavior. Response cost is often used with tokeneconomy programs. The response cost must beless than the total amount of number of reinforcersavailable (i.e., never go in the hole). Response cost procedures are often referred to as “fines.”

Response Cost-AKA The Chart!Top 5 cautions when using ‘the chart’5. Be sure to build in forgiveness4. Never let a student get ‘in the hole’3. Teach the behavior 2. Better to climb for positive behaviors (not really response cost)
