Purposes
• Identify Key features of School-wide PBS and SWPBS that integrates culturally responsive practices.
• Define implementation steps• Describe District Leadership Team
Roles and Goals• Describe District Level Support
Structures Needed for Sustainability• Outline Next Steps
Basic Messages
• To improve academic successes of our youth, we must also improve their social success.
• Improving social success requires investing in the school-wide social culture as well as in strategies for classroom, and individual student intervention.
• School efforts to improve academic and social success must address equitable outcomes for all groups.

Logic for School-wide PBS• Schools face a set of difficult challenges today• Multiple expectations (Academic
accomplishment, Social competence, Safety)• Students and staff have widely differing
understandings of school behavioral expectations
• Traditional “get tough” and “zero tolerance” approaches are insufficient
• Individual student interventions• Effective, but cannot meet the demand
• School-wide discipline systems• Establish a social culture within which both
social and academic success is more likely
What is School-wide Positive Behavior Support?
School-wide PBS: A systems approach for establishing the social culture and individualized supports needed for all students to achieve both social and academic success.
Evidence-based features of SW-PBS Prevention Define and teach positive social expectations Acknowledge positive behavior Arrange consistent responses to problem behavior On-going collection and use of data for decision-
making Continuum of intensive, individual interventions. Administrative leadership – Team-based
implementation (Systems that support effective practices)

What We Are LearningSchools have successfully initiated and sustained SW-PBS approaches in 50 states (plus D.C.) and in over 16,000 schools
• Reduction of about one half in office referrals
• Suspensions reduced by 66% • Increased attendance• Increased instructional time• Improved satisfaction of all• Common language and consistent processes• Drop out rate decreased by half• Unsafe incidents decreased by 2/3.

Impact
From 10.4 per day
To 1.6 per day
What does a reduction of 3912 office referrals and 326 suspensions mean?North side Middle School
• Savings in Administrative time
• ODR = 15 min• Suspension = 45 min
• 73,350 minutes• 1222 hours
• 152 8-hour days
• Savings in Student Instructional time
• ODR = 45 min• Suspension = 300 min

Minority disproportionality in suspension and expulsion has been consistently documented over the last 30 years.
• Black students suspended 2-3x as frequently• Racial/Ethnic Disproportionality also found in:
• Office referrals• Expulsion• Corporal Punishment
• Students with disabilities over-represented:• 11-14% of population• Approx. 20-24% of suspensions

Elements of Culturally Responsive SW PBS
17
Culture: What Is It?
Culture: the language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects that are passed from one generation to another. Every person on the planet is a member of at least one culture. (Glenn Hoffarth,2002)

CR-PBIS is not….• PBIS, itself, is not new; it’s based on a long
history of behavioral practice and effective instructional design/strategies
• CR-PBIS is not a specific practice or curriculum; it’s a general approach to preventing problem behavior
• CR-PBIS is not limited to a particular group of people; but rather for all students and all adults
• CR-PBS is not incompatible with other efforts that based in prevention and education
• CR practice, itself, is not new.
CR-PBIS is new…• It’s the integration of culturally
responsive practice within the evidence-based school-wide PBS framework
Training Outlook
• Develop culturally responsive school-wide PBS plan by:• Explicitly discussing inequity based on race, ethnicity, poverty, and disability
• Training all school staff to become more self-aware about their beliefs and awareness of other cultures
• Using data to identify target areas • Engaging with students and families to
integrate different cultural perspectives
WHY be/come Culturally Responsive?
• Absence of any groups experience and voice leaves all groups at a disadvantage to appropriately and completely interact as humans.
• It detracts from all of our humanity when WE consciously or unconsciously leave out individuals’ culture.
• Prevents conflict and misunderstandings amongst different cultural groups
Self Awareness
• Participants will define culture• Participants will recognize they have a culture• Participants will compare their culture to another• Participants will identify potential personal bias and
influence of stereotypes
“Not only does culture allow us to maintain our sense of identity and how we perceive ourselves, it also represents the lens through which we view and evaluate the behaviors of others” ( Neal, McCray, Webb-Johnson, & Bridgest, 2003, p. 49)
Three Things To Remember About Culture...•Culture is dynamic, not static
•No culture is monolithic …. There are cultures within cultures
•Culture, language, ethnicity and race form part of our identity, values, beliefs and behaviors. Other influences include: socio-economic status, education, occupation, personal experience, community, family and individual personality.

Schools using culturally responsive SW-PBS have:
• Staff engaged in • developing awareness of students’ and their own cultural
backgrounds.• difficult conversations that directly address disparities
evident in data. • Team-based systems for Targeted and Intensive behavior
support • Students identify faculty/staff as actively promoting their
success• Teams meeting regularly to:
• Review disaggregated data• Determine if PBIS and culturally responsive practices are being used• Determine if practices are being effective for all student subgroups
and their families
Summary Invest in prevention Build a social culture of competence Focus on different systems for different
challenges Build capacity through team processes,
and adaptation of the practices to fit local context
Use data for decision-making Directly engage in difficult conversations Begin with active administrative
leadership

What is the commitment?
Organization District leadership team‒ District representatives select schools, coaches, and
provide initiative support School-wide PBIS Team‒ Represents school demographics, includes parents,
creates plans, meets regularly, leads implementation
Coach‒ Provides technical assistance to school‒ Links school to trainer, resources‒ Provides reminders, assists with timelines
Trainer‒ Provides Technical Assistance to Coaches‒ Provides Coaches’ and Team Training
Sustaining and Scaling SWPBS
• Investing in the Systems needed to nurture and support effective Practices• Policies• Shifting Staff roles (behavioral expertise)
• Evaluation Data/Systems• Administrative Priority (over time)• Logical use of initiatives/incentives
An effective implementation process
• Commitment• District• Administrator• Faculty• Teams
• Team-based processes• Coaches (local Technical Assistance)• Behavioral Expertise• Contextual Fit (Adapt to specific
context)• 3-5 Year process
