Embedding PBS Activities
into a School Improvement Plan
Presented by:Rosemary EnlowJanel Bourgeois Tasha Anthony
Session 35A –9:30 a.m. 35B – 2:00 p.m.
PurposeThis presentation is designed to:
•Highlight school improvement requirements and best practices
•Review tools that allow all stakeholders to participate in a data collection/analysis process
•Provide a vision of how PBS aligns with scientifically based research strategies for attaining the academic goals identified in a SIP
Why Focus on Behavior in LA? 2003 – Juvenile Justice Reform Act
(1225) 79 of the 143 legislators co-authored this bill that
was unanimously passed“The legislature hereby finds and declares that:1) The good behavior and discipline of students
are essential prerequisites for academic learning, the development of student character, and the general, as well as educational, socialization of children and youth.
2) Bad behavior and lack of discipline in many schools of the state are impairing the quality of teaching, learning, character development, and, in some schools, are creating real and potential threats to school and public safety.”
Focus on Behavior cont’d 2003 – Juvenile Justice Reform Act
(1225) Subpart C-1 The Education/Juvenile Justice
Partnership Act legislated that: BESE would formulate, develop, and recommend
a Model Master Plan for improving behavior and discipline within schools that includes the utilization of positive behavioral supports and other effective disciplinary tools
Each city, parish, and other local public school board should be responsible for the develop of school master plans for supporting student behavior and discipline based upon the model master plan developed and approved by BESE
NCLB Requirements for School ImprovementThe components of a School
Improvement Plan include:• Comprehensive Needs Assessment• School wide Reform Strategies• Instruction by Highly Qualified Teachers• High quality and ongoing professional
development• Strategies to attract high-quality highly qualified
teachers to high-need schools• Strategies to increase parent involvement
Requirements (cont’d)• Transitions from early childhood programs to
local elementary school programs (Head Start, Even Start, Early Reading First, etc.)
• Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of academic assessments
• Activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement standard are provided effective, timely additional assistance
• Coordination and integration of Federal, State, and local services and programs
PBS is based on Coordinated Teamwork
PBS is Data Driven Who are the students with
multiple referrals? What are the most common
referral categories? When are the referrals occurring? Where are the referrals
originating? Why? Is there a system for follow-
up to the multiple referrals?
PBS Emphasizes Prevention
Prevention is• Decrease development of new
problem behaviors• Prevent worsening of existing
problem behaviors• Eliminate triggers &
maintainers of problem behaviors
• Teach, monitor, & acknowledge prosocial behavior
3-tiered prevention logic that defines continuum of behavior support.
PBS is based on constructing and teaching expectations to students and staff. “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we
teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we
teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we
teach.” “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we……..... ……….teach? ………punish?” “Why can’t we finish the last sentence as
automatically as we do the others?”John Herner (NASDE President) Counterpoint 1998, p.2John Herner (NASDE President) Counterpoint 1998, p.2
Levels of PBS Universal Interventions (Tier 1)
reflect school-wide expectations for student behavior coupled with pre-planned strategies applied within classrooms designed to prevent the development of problem behaviors
Secondary Interventions (Tier 2) addresses more challenging students who exhibit difficult behavior
that limits their academic and social success that does not respond to school-wide interventions
Tertiary Interventions (Tier 3) reflect school-wide expectations for student behavior coupled with
team-based strategies applied with individual students based upon child-centered behavior

Action Plan
An Action Plan is a detailed sequence of activities that will be performed to implement the
identified strategies.
Action Plan Clearly lists all major activities
necessary to implement strategies Includes activities to integrate
technology, family involvement, positive behavior support, and professional development
Has a logical sequence of events
Action Plan Names persons responsible and
target audience Clearly states how each activity will
be performed (Including who, what, and purpose/focus of the activity)
Gives specific time lines Identifies funding source Identifies procedures for evaluation
Indicator of Implementation
The indicator of implementation is the anticipated positive change that will occur as a result of the successful
implementation of the activity. The expected impact is an observable
change that will occur in the classroom or school.
Activities
An activity is “what” will be performed: the actual task required to implement the
identified strategy.
Characteristics of a good activity:
Clearly aligns and links to the strategy
Logically sequenced to ensure proper implementation
Clearly states who will be responsible
Includes a reasonable time frame
POINTS TO REMEMBER
Family Involvement, Professional Development, and Technology have always been interwoven into the Action Plan.
Positive Behavior Support shall also be interwoven in the same manner.
Sample #1 (Math) Indicator of Implementation: Students will
be engaged in hands-on activities; teachers will incorporate numeracy strategies; teachers will appropriately model school wide behavior expectations; students will be actively engaged in lessons, thereby reducing the number of behavior referrals.
Activity: Train all 4-8th grade math teachers in a 2-week summer institute focusing on instructional strategies designed to promote proficiency in utilizing numeracy strategies in mathematics.

Sample #2 (PD: ELA)
Indicator of Implementation: Teachers will positively impact student behavior by engaging students in differentiated learning activities.
Activity: Initial professional development to train all staff in literacy and use of daily formative assessment strategies to better address the learning needs of the students.
