BEGINNINGS
7
Council of Great City Schools• “The discipline process within the Milwaukee
Public Schools is oriented toward setting forth punitive consequences, rather than toward reinforcing positive behavior. No district-wide framework exists for a research-based program to encourage positive behavior; nor is there a consistent program of interventions designed to build positive behavior.” (p. 5, 2008)
8
Council of Great City Schools• “Student suspension-rate data and multiple
interviews indicate that implementation of the district’s suspension policies varies across schools. This evidence suggests that the district operates as a system of schools, rather than as a school system.” (p. 3, 2008)
• “The number of suspensions is higher in the MPS than it is in any other urban district the Council has visited.” (p. 10, 2008)
9
MPS Data for 2007-2008• The Council of Great City Schools examined
the data listed below:– During the course of the year, 94,349 students
attended MPS.– Staff wrote 161,981 incident referrals. – Administrators issued 87,051 suspensions.– That resulted in 148,737 days of suspension
served by MPS students.

IMPLEMENTING PBIS IN MPS
Four Frame Model
Bolman and Deal, 1997
Implementation Research• Knowledge of implementation research critical to
success– Diffusion, Forces of Change, Managing Change, and Planning
and Implementing Change• Stages of Implementation (Fixsen, Blasé, Horner, Sugai, 2009)
– Exploration– Installation– Initial Implementation– Full Implementation– Innovation– Sustainability
Planning• It is important to take the time to plan in the
beginning and build the systems to support and sustain.– What are existing resources?– What can be reallocated?– What can we stop doing?– What comes first, second, third, etc.?
15
Multi-Generational Plan• Classic example of a multi-generational plan was
the plan used by NASA to land on the moon.– Each program was designed to accomplish certain
goals• Mercury – Man into space, Orbit the earth• Gemini – Two men into space, Spacewalk, Rendezvous• Apollo – Three men into space, Orbit moon, Land on moon
– Programs built upon what the prior program(s) accomplished

Knowledge Reuse • Learn from others’ experiences. – Use the existing knowledge on implementing PBIS
and behavioral interventions.– Tap in to the available expertise on PBIS and
behavioral interventions.– What have other schools, districts, networks, or
states done to achieve success?– What mistakes have other schools, districts,
networks, or states committed?20

Expert Advice
• Cincinnati Public Schools• Los Angeles Unified School District• APBS International Conference• PBIS National Forum• Wisconsin PBIS Leadership Conference
22
Site Visits and Conferences
Strategic• Be Strategic– Conduct a Stakeholder Analysis• Who will be your champions and why?• Who will be resistors and why?
– Identify opportunities for immediate success– Build on early “wins”• Communicate success early – high risk/ high reward
– Look at ways to achieve sustainability in existing systems and structures
23
Strategic• Connect PBIS to other areas, groups, and
programs when possible– Merge with academics (Response to Intervention)– Connect with key staff
• Transportation, Technology, Specialized Services, Recreation
– Show how some programs can fit within the framework
– Identify existing practices that are part of PBIS– Build a base of support/ spread the word
24
Bottom-Up/Top-Down• Worked with the Milwaukee Teachers’
Education Association (MTEA) to plan how PBIS would be rolled-out to the district.– Spent a year working together– Used an existing joint Safety and Discipline Labor
Management Committee– Desire to be included in the research and planning
• Collaboration is not always easy– Starts and Stops
25
• Joint MTEA & MPS Mediasite presentation on PBIS– Presentation gave an overview of the critical data around
discipline in MPS and what PBIS is– The presentation served as an “infomercial” on PBIS to
peak interest among school staff members– Schools decided whether or not to send an exploratory
team to in-depth presentation– Team personnel/positions of the exploratory team were
agreed upon by the union and administrationhttp://mslweb.milwaukee.k12.wi.us/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=404a129142d5486b956ec3b7c3ab4bcb1d

Common Message: Only One Chance for a First Impression
• In-depth presentation for school teams by Dr. Lucille Eber, Director of Illinois PBIS Network on March 16, 2009– Over 100 schools signed up to attend the In-depth
presentation – Due to the large response, a morning and an
afternoon presentation were held– Approximately 500 individuals attended the morning
session and 450 individuals attended the afternoon session
27
In-Depth Presentation
• Schools were selected to be part of the first cohort using a holistic approach in order to have representation of all the following:– School structures– Student demographics– Academic and discipline performance– Traditional calendar and year-round calendar– Non-charter, charter, and partnership– Expanding schools– Administrative experience (retirements, APIC’s, etc.)– Variety of programs at the schools (SS/HS, RJ, L&L, etc.)
