Road Map
• How will we use the problem-solving logic to build a culture to support implementation of these practices?
• Based on data what practices & systems exist to support enhanced classroom environments?
• How can you empower the team to empower others to address classroom systems – a schoolwide concern?

StrengthsClear expectations, rules and procedures. Administrator supportData driven decision-making
WeaknessesInconsistency with practices among staffLack of staff support and buy in
OpportunitiesCelebrate recognize staff/students
ThreatsNot enough time.Pressure to focus on ‘academics’ (common core, NCLB…)
As a coach, so far you have supported your team and worked to implement
Tier 1 or universal supports. As part of universal, we need to support teachers
to implement positive behavioral interventions and supports aligned with
school-wide in their classrooms.
How will we use the problem-solving logic to build a culture to support implementation of these
practices?

How will you support ALL teachers to implement evidence-based practices aligned with PBIS in the classroom?
Gather initial data- Assessment, Learning Walk, SurveyGet buy-in (baseline data, strategic plan, articles/research)With team, use data to identify need and plan to provide
professional learning (Practice Mini Modules/Snapshots on wiki)
Create support system (e.g., peer observation dyads/triads)
Gather Data- performance feedbackPresent fidelity and outcome data-CELEBRATE
Roles: ADMINISTRATOR and CoachDATA
Step 1: Here's What!Record 2-3 observations you
made or information that ‘pops out’ to you.
Step 2: So What?What are your interpretations or
meaning of the data?
Step 3: Now What?What are possible
implications for each idea recorded?
A significant majority of our referrals are happening in the classroom
I am wondering about practices to remind, re-teach, and/or pre-correct after the winter break.
Which teachers are using EBPs associated with classroom management
Check ODR and Minor data collection forms to identify evidence-based practices are included as part of preventing behavior.
Plan for professional development for staff to implement these practices.
This is where the SYSTEMS piece is addressed.
(Garmston & Wellman, 2009)
What does the data say in your building?
• Review Data- Office Referrals by location
– Where are most referrals coming from in your school?
• Classroom Self Assessments
• Peer observation and feedback (peer coach, buddy)
• Administrator Walk Through
• Learning Walks
Administrative Walk Through, Learning Walk, Peer Observation,
PLC, Self-Assessment
• Information gathering, not evaluative
• Data can be gathered by someone other than an administrator too- What does the culture support?

Using the Problem Solving Logic
Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, University of Oregon, 2002.
Longitudinal Research
• 102 schools in 7 western US States and District of Columbia. Typical range of ethnicity, SES, and community risk
• 126 Elementary Schools• Research Question: What teacher behaviors
and school practices represent the conditions for student learning, and predict important student and school outcomes, such as adequate yearly progress (AYP)?
30
Findings
• In schools where 80% of students reported the presence of the “B’s” (clear expectations, positive relationships, academic and social basic skills, and recognized and rewarded effort), schools were 2 to 8 times more likely to achieve AYP, experience higher levels of academic achievement, school safety, and student attendance.
(Center for the School of the Future at Utah State University, 2010)
31
Findings
• The 4 “B’s” account for 2/3 of the variance of academic achievement:– Four times more than community risk– Five times more than parent support– 15 times more than teacher qualifications– 37 times more than school leadership– 60 times more than school resources– The strongest relationships were found for young
and disadvantaged learners(Center for the School of the Future at Utah State University, 2010)
How are the B’s defined?
• Clear expectations- Clearly communicating expectations for performance and explaining the step by step reward contingencies for acceptable behavior
• Positive relationships- Establishing and maintaining staff-to-student relationships based upon mutual respect and positive regard
• Building basic academic, social, and self-management skills, making coercive practices largely unnecessary
• Recognition and Rewards- Actively recognizing appropriate behavior and individual efforts to improve whenever and wherever they occur throughout the school environment
33(Center for the School of the Future at Utah State University, 2010)
What are the classroom practices aligned with PBIS?
• Classroom rules/expectations are defined, posted, taught, and aligned with school-wide expectations (teaching matrix)
• Routines and Procedures• Multiple Opportunities to Respond (OTRs)• Continuum of responses to encourage
appropriate behavior (acknowledgement, signaling, cueing, pre-correction, teaching matrix, and flowchart)
• Continuum of responses to discourage inappropriate behavior (correction, contingent instructions flowchart)
(Simonsen, Fairbanks, Briesch, Myers, & Sugai, 2008)
How do you choose practices?
• Data
• Don’t forget beliefs, strengths …
• Apply principles of behavior– Remember me?
– What impact might the principles of behavior have on practice selection?
Developing a plan for creating aninstructional environment that predictspositive behavior in place of problems
• Create environments that predict success (teaching matrix, routines)
• Teach replacement behaviors (teaching matrix)
• Facilitate success (clear, predictable routines, rules, feedback)
• Provide functional consequences for positive & negative behaviors (flowchart)
• Monitor effectiveness of plan (data, PBIS Team)
Classroom Behavior Instruction Plan
Prevention first (antecedents)
• If you could have $10,000 if it happened tomorrow . . .
Effective Instruction (Behavior)
• Do they know it and can they do it
• Show them how (model), engage them, teach it, tell them why and when
(Scott, 2006)

Will the system of support reflect the culture of the school?
• Options for support systems– Staff Professional Development during staff meetings, staff
days, grade level/core/department meetings based on data– Administrative walk throughs/learning walks– Peer observation triads or dyads– Self-assessment (e.g., video or audio recording)
• Which system(s) would fit best with the culture in your school?
• How will you identify and/or build models to support staff learning?
What are some effective ways in which to support teachers to implement best
classroom management practices? • Explicit instruction to include:
– The Why?– Models– Range of examples
• Time to practice to build fluency• Periodic self-assessment, progress monitoring to progress
monitor and fidelity check- performance feedback• Observation and other feedback• Strategies that promote self-management
(Simonsen, Myers, & DeLuca, 2010)
In what ways might you use the Practice Snapshots to provide professional
development (e.g., workshop, grade level/core/department meetings, peer coaching triads or dyads, professional
learning communities, other coaching) to staff?
Peer observation triads or dyads
• Does the school culture support this type of system of support?
• In what ways could you map this onto an existing infrastructure of support (e.g., professional learning communities, grade level/core/department team meetings)?

Baseline-No Intervention
Intervention-No performance feedback provided to the teacher
Intervention with performance feedback provided to teacher
No performance feedback, but intervention continues to be effective
How might you begin something like this in your school?
• Start with volunteers- may need uncommon planning time
• As a coach, facilitate learning for the ways in which we conduct observation, collect data, and provide feedback
• Arrange a time to observe peer teacher in the classroom
How does this work?
• Assess: Collect data on teacher/student behaviors (Practice Snapshots)
• Provide feedback: Preferably on the same day, provide feedback using data collected
• Collaboratively design a menu of options– Snapshots
– Student/Teacher T-Chart
– Other resources used in your building
How does this work?
• Choose an intervention to implement
– Design a checklist if necessary
• Teacher to select a self-monitoring tool for own behavior (included on many Practice Snapshots)
• Performance feedback- continue to collect data and monitor progress, make decisions about interventions
Practice Snapshots
• Designed to include components identified as increasing the likelihood of changing teacher practices
– Definition of practice-what is it?
– Research- why bother, what’s in it for me?
– Examples and non-examples
– Self-monitoring tools
– Data collection tools

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.
