Expanding PBIS into Classrooms: The Fundamentals University of South Florida 11 th Annual This product was developed by Florida s Positive Support Project through the University of South Florida, Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute funded by the State of Florida, Department of Education, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services, through federal assistance under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B. What We Already Know Anyone is eligible to engage in problem behavior Inappropriate behaviors can be changed Effective environments can be created to change behavior Changing environments requires changing adult behavior Adult behavior must change in a consistent and systematic manner Support systems are essential for both students and adults Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) ACADEMIC and BEHAVIOR SYSTEMS Tier 3: Intensive, Individualized Interventions & Supports The most intense (increased time, narrowed focus, reduced group size) instruction and intervention based upon individual student need provided in addition to and aligned with Tier 1 & 2 academic and behavior instruction and supports. Tier 2: Supplemental Interventions & Supports More targeted instruction/intervention and supplemental support in addition to and aligned with the core academic and behavior curriculum. Tier 1: Core, Universal Instruction & Supports General academic and behavior instruction and support provided to all students in all settings. (FL RtI State Transformation Team, Dec. 2009) In Other Words We organize our resources Multi-Tier model So kids get help early Actions based on outcomes (data!), not procedures We do stuff that s likely to work Evidence-Based interventions And make sure they re successful Progress monitoring Problem-Solving process Increasing levels of intensity Classroom PBIS Emphasizes Using data to make decisions Implementing preventative strategies Teaching & recognizing appropriate behavior Implementing responding strategies Using effective classroom practices Monitoring & evaluating progress University of South Florida 1

Outcomes of Successful Classroom PBIS Significant reduction in problem behavior Students are more engaged Students complete assignments/tasks Students follow classroom expectations & routines Teacher comments are positive Small number of students need additional behavior support Top 5 Classroom Practices 1. Maximize structure in your classroom. 2. Post, teach, review, monitor, and reinforce a small number of positively stated expectations. 3. Actively engage students in observable ways. 4. Establish a continuum of strategies to acknowledge appropriate behavior. 5. Establish a continuum of strategies to respond to inappropriate behavior. (Simonsen, Fairbanks, Briesch, Myers, & Sugai, 2008) Benchmarks of Quality: Classroom Items (Kincaid, Childs & George, 2005; 2010) 42. Classroom rules are defined for each of the school-wide expectations and are posted in classrooms 43. Classroom routines and procedures are explicitly identified for activities (e.g. entering class, asking questions, sharpening pencil, using restroom, dismissal) 44. Expected behavior routines in classrooms are taught 45. Classroom teachers use immediate and specific behavior praise 46. Acknowledgement of students demonstrating adherence to classroom rules and routines occurs more frequently than acknowledgement 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 and consistently delivered Setting up your System Establish a classroom PBIIS system that is congruent with your existing SWPBS (Tier 1) system Faculty need to understand how the two are aligned and interrelated Work to tie the two systems together! Refer to Classroom Resources of FLPBS Project website Students need to understand that this is an extension of the SWPBIS system PBIS Classroom Coaching Guide http://flpbs.fmhi.usf.edu/resources_classroom.cfm Purpose: 1. Assist teachers and/or PBIS coaching facilitators in developing and maintaining effective classroom systems 2. Facilitate a collaborative teaming process between teachers and coaching facilitators 3. Support the implementation of classroom PBIS with fidelity 4. Use data-driven problem solving to identify and analyze classroom systems and evaluate outcomes 5. Provide evidence-based interventions for effective classroom management Applying the Problem-Solving Process to the Classroom This product was developed by Florida s Positive Support Project through the University of South Florida, Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute funded by the State of Florida, Department of Education, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services, through federal assistance under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B. 12 University of South Florida 2

What barriers may be preventing students from engaging in appropriate behaviors? Always Remember Function! Guiding Questions Student Characteristics 1. Are student characteristics, including function of misbehavior, being considered? 2. Is instruction for academics and behavior differentiated based on student need, including skill level, function of misbehavior, etc. Golden Rule #1 Student behavior is functionally linked to the classroom teaching environment. (Knoster, 2014) Golden Rule #2 An intervention that matches the function of a student s, or a group of students, behavior is more likely to be successful. 57 58 Consider Additional Relevant Factors Step 2: Why is the problem occurring? What barriers may be preventing students from engaging in appropriate behaviors?

Step 2: Why is the Problem Occurring? Mr. Frost s Classroom Assistance Tool (CAT) Developing Hypotheses Students are engaging in (problem behavior) because 1. Environmental Factors 2. Classroom Systems 3. Curriculum and Instruction 4. Student Characteristics 61 62 Mr. Frost Environmental Guiding Questions What foundational environmental practices may be missing? 1. Is the classroom setting organized to promote learning and independence? Yes, students could maneuver through aisles to get materials & take care of personal needs without difficulty 2. Does the arrangement of classroom furniture, materials, and student personal belongings reduce distractions and minimize potential problems? Yes, student desks were situated to facilitate group interactions, views of teacher, and white board demonstrations 3. Is the daily schedule reviewed such that transitions and distractions are minimized but allow for differentiated instructional activities? Daily schedule was not posted or reviewed at the beginning of class 4. Does the teacher ensure positive relationships with students and families as well as between students? Yes, Mr. Frost discussed the importance of positive peer relationships but provided no opportunities for students to work together. He discussed the importance of communicating with families, but there was little evidence to support this. 63 Mr. Frost Instructional & Curricular Guiding Questions What foundational instructional and curricular practices may be missing? 1. How much time is spent in large group instruction? (Context) 20 min lecture; 20 min round-robin read aloud; 20 min worksheet completion 2. What are students expected to do during large group instruction? (Context) Students are expected to listen to the lecture and follow along in the text during round-robin reading. 3. What content is being covered during the most problematic time periods? Most disruptions occurred during the first 30 min. of class (large group instruction) which was focused on reading via lecture. 4. What instructional strategies are being implementing by Mr. Frost? Large group instruction - lecture 64 Mr. Frost Classroom System Guiding Questions What foundational classroom behavior system elements may be missing? 1. Have classroom rules and procedures/routines been developed and posted? 5 positively stated rules in the classroom 2. Have the expectations, classroom rules and routines been taught and have students had the opportunity to practice them? Rules were referred to 3 times during the observation period Rules are reviewed beginning each 9 weeks & at mid-progress report time When he remembers, Mr. Frost talks about characters in books that display the expectations. He did mention once, while students were reading, how one character was respectful. When asked, 90% of the students in 1st period could state the classroom rules and 75% could state the school-wide expectations 65 Mr. Frost Classroom System Guiding Questions What foundational classroom behavior system elements may be missing? 3. Have students earned recognition for engaging in expected behaviors and following rules and routines? Are rewards provided consistently to all students, in a timely manner? Mr. Frost is very positive with the students & gave praise during class Sometimes praise was specific; other times it was generic (i.e., good job). Mr. Frost stated he gives out the required 5 Rams Bucks a day. When Mr. Frost s high flyers were questioned, 5/7 had received a Rams Buck this 9 weeks 4. Are effective consequences in place for decreasing inappropriate behavior? Do students know them and are they applied consistently? Mr. Frost calmly redirected students and retaught expectations and rules during instances of misbehavior. Following the observation he shared his hierarchy of consequences for inappropriate behaviors. 66 University of South Florida 11

Mr. Frost Student Characteristics Guiding Questions What strategies to address individual student needs may be missing? 1. What are student characteristics, including function of misbehavior, are contributing to concerns? Most students in 1 st period are level 1 & 2 on the FSA 3 students have been identified with disabilities; 3 students are ELL 3 repeat offenders are in 1 st period (8:00-8:50) 2 of the 3 repeat offenders have a disability or are ELL. All 3 scored a level 1 on FSA reading. 2. What specific activities/tasks are students trying to avoid? (Motivation) 2 students had their head down during large group instruction. 5 students had their heads down during time allocated to complete worksheets. 70% of the students in 1 st period turned in a worksheet, but 2 were incomplete. 67 Step 2: Why is the Problem Occurring? Mr. Frost: Developing Hypotheses Students are tardy to class and engage in disruptive and disrespectful behaviors because 1. Environment - Mr. Frost does not post or review his daily schedule 2. Classroom System - He reviews the expectations and rules each 9 weeks which may not be frequent enough 3. Curriculum and Instruction Mr. Frost does not use a variety of teaching methods or develop meaningful or relevant tasks or assignments for students 4. Student Characteristics - Students have individual needs that are not being met and function of misbehavior not considered. 68 Step 2: Why is the Problem Occurring? Mr. Frost: Developing Prediction Statements Prediction Statement (Hint - Review Goal Statement) If (insert strategy to address hypothesis), then (student replacement behavior) Mr. Frost Prediction Statement If Mr. Frost uses a variety of teaching methods that are meaningful and relevant to students, then students will arrive on time and during large group instruction 95% of students will engage in on-task behaviors with 90% completion of in-class assignments Double check that the hypothesis and prediction statements are: 1. Based on multi-source/multi-informant data - Yes (Teacher interview/self-report and coach observation) 2. Alterable - Yes 3. Measurable - Yes 4. Observable -Yes 69 Step 2: Why is the Problem Occurring? Mr. Frost: Putting it all together Hypothesis: Students are tardy to class and engage in disruptive and disrespectful behaviors because: 1. Environment The daily schedule is not posted 2. Classroom System - Expectations and rules are only reviewed every 9 weeks which may not be frequent enough 3. Curriculum and Instruction: A variety of teaching methods are not used or meaningful/relevant tasks & assignments are developed 4. Student characteristics: Students have individual needs that are not being met and function of misbehavior is not considered. Prediction Statement If Mr. Frost uses a variety of teaching methods that are meaningful and relevant to students then, students will arrive on time and during large group instruction 95% of students will engage in on-task behaviors with 90% completion of in-class assignments Double check hypothesis and prediction statements: 1. Based on multi-source/multi-informant data: Yes (teacher interview/self-report & observation) 2. Alterable - Yes 3. Measurable - Yes 70 4. Observable - Yes Problem-Solving Process Step 4: Response to Intervention Is it working? Step 1: Problem Identification What is the problem? Step 3: Intervention Design What are we going to do about it? Step 2: Problem Analysis Why is it occurring? 71 Step 3: Intervention Design & Implementation Guiding Questions 1. Based on steps 1 and 2, what preventative, instructional and response strategies/interventions should be implemented to decrease problem behaviors and increase appropriate behaviors? 2. What supports and resources are needed to implement the strategies/interventions (e.g., onsite coaching and modeling, materials, etc.)? 3. Who, when and how often will interventions be implemented? Who, when and how often will coaching supports and resources be provided? 4. What data will be collected to determine fidelity of implementation and monitor progress of implementation? 72 University of South Florida 12
