School Discipline Challenges
• Challenging Behaviors– Exist in every school and community
– Vary in intensity and frequency
– Connect with a variety of risk factors
– Led to academic and social deficits
Schoolwide PBS 9
You know that…• Academic and social
failures are related...students with problem behavior typically experience academic and social-behavior deficits
• Academic failure is among the most powerful predictors of antisocial behavior
Schoolwide PBS 10
School Challenges Predict Life Long Challenges
• Startling Statistics for Students with Learning and Behavior Challenges:
-27% drop out rate for students with learning disabilities
-50% drop out rate for students with emotional disturbance
-70% arrest rate within three years of leaving school for students with academic and social failures
Schoolwide PBS 11
Common Response to Behavioral Problems
• Increase monitoring and supervision of the student
• Restate rules• Apply sanctions:
– Refer to office– Suspend– Expel
Schoolwide PBS 12
Sanctions Produce Immediate, Short-Lived Relief
– Remove student
– Relieve ourselves and others
– Assign responsibility for change to student &/or others (family)
– Displace the problem elsewhere
Schoolwide PBS 13
False Sense of Effectiveness
• Schools that use sanctions alone, have more antisocial behavior than those that use positive behavior supports (Mayer,1991; Skiba & Peterson,1999)– Vandalism, aggression, truancy, dropout
• Punishment impairs child-adult relationships and attachment to schooling
• Punishment weakens academic outcomes and maintains the antisocial trajectory
Schoolwide PBS 14
• If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach
• If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach
• If a child doesn’t know how to spell, we teach
• If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach
• If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we
send home
punish…ISS…OSS…DAEP
Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?
Tom Herner (NASDE 1998 p.8
Schoolwide PBS 15
Reflection
• Does your school discipline process: – Teach alternative ways to behave?– Help students accept responsibility?– Place high value on academic
engagement and achievement?– Focus on restoring the environment
and social relationships in the school?
Schoolwide PBS 16
Schools That Reduce Delinquency and Disruption
• Shared values regarding school mission and purpose (administration, staff, families, students)
• Clear expectations for learning and behavior
• Multiple activities designed to promote pro-social behavior and connection to school traditions
• A caring social climate involving collegial relationships among adults and students
• Students have valued roles and responsibilities in the school
Schoolwide PBS 17
Schoolwide PBS 18
What is PBS?
• Systemic approach based on an extensive body of evidence-based practices
• Prevention, rather than punishment-based
• Focus on teaching academic, social and behavioral expectations
• Emphasis on culturally appropriate practices

What Does Schoolwide PBS Look Like?
• Representative school team• Core teams should include:
– Campus administrator or designee– General and special education
personnel representing major school stakeholder groups
– Other personnel or stakeholders (e.g., related service staff, classified staff, parent, school resource officer)
• Campus level core team training required
Schoolwide PBS 21
Nuts and Bolts
• Team needs a minimum of 36 hours for planning
• Region 14 provides substitute
reimbursement (while funds are available)• Three options for training/support: Problem Solving Team Model Coaching Model Resources Provided
Schoolwide PBS 22
Nuts and Bolts• Administrative support
• Establish a mission/theme/motto
• Conduct surveys and the evaluation of a variety of data sources
• Prioritize the behavioral needs and the areas in the school
• Create explicit expectations, lesson plans and a hierarchy of consequences
• Create a positive reinforcement program
• Schedule for teaching expectations
Schoolwide PBS 23
Essential Practices of PBS• Set schoolwide behavior
expectations• Regularly teach expected behavior• Consistently recognize expected
behavior and actively supervise students
• Develop a system to use office discipline referral and other data to: – make decisions– provide feedback to stakeholders– seek information from stakeholders
Schoolwide PBS 24
How Do I Know My School is Implementing Schoolwide PBS?
• Behavior skills taught 20+ times/year• Students actively supervised• Students acknowledged frequently
– 4:1 postive:negative interactions• More than 80% students & adults can
describe school-wide expectations– Safe, respectful, responsible
• Benchmarks of Quality (BOQ)
Schoolwide PBS 25
Does SWPBS Work?
• Lucky High School– In the beginning…
• “Low performing” school • High drop out rate• School crime • 60% low income/poverty• Frustrated staff • Attendance and tardy problems
Schoolwide PBS 26
What are They Up To?• PBIS team established and maintained (four years)• School expectations set, rule teaching plan, teaching
schedule• PBS Handbook developed
– Rules– Lesson plans– Increase consistency among adults
• www.Swis.org system in place to track discipline referrals• Involve students
– Leadership activities– School plays
