Time Workshop Session Abstracts

10:10 10:40

1a: Tier One Implementation and Success Collie Senior High School

Collie Senior High School is committed to ensuring that all members of the school community are able to learn effectively in a safe, secure, orderly and welcoming environment. We have adopted a Positive Behaviour Support system across the school to provide a clear framework for staff and students to identify what is expected within the Collie Senior High School community.

There are four main expectations which form what we call the Collie “ARCH”, these are Aspiration, Respect, Commitment and Honesty. The ARCH forms the foundation of the Collie Senior High School ethos of “We Strive” and provides the means through which a whole-of-school approach of reinforcing good behaviour and redirecting poor behaviour can be successfully achieved.

A matrix has been created through consultation with students, staff and parents; it lists the ways in which each of the expectations can be demonstrated and is featured in every classroom throughout the school. Students are explicitly taught how to behave in the appropriate way through a systematic schedule of lessons each term. These lessons are also used to remind and redirect students who do not meet the expectations.

This workshop will focus on Tier 1 Implementation: – Show and explain Collie Senior High Schools Expectations (original document) – then a further developed Matrix – Show and explain 4 examples of PBS lessons (1 from each ARCH category) – Show House Points and explain House Point System – Show and explain ARCH celebration day with photographs

10:10 10:40

2a: Changing Practice to Support Students with Special Needs College Row School

College Row School currently caters for around 45 students from K-12 with severe and complex needs. The majority of students have complex communication needs (non-verbal) which in many cases leads to poor engagement with activities and people.

College Row School has spent the last few years developing its Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) intervention along with implementing PBS. The school has been successful with both and seen outstanding results including improved engagement and outcomes, reduction in challenging behaviour and more.

The school won the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (Australia) School of the Year in 2017. This presentation will seek to look at the strategies implemented and changes in practice that have led to this success.

10:10 10:40

3a: Tier One Implementation: Teaching the Matrix Rivergums Primary School

Rivergums Primary School would like to share our successful strategies for teaching our behaviour matrix, including:

– Videos – Posters – Morning Meeting – PowerPoints – Lesson tips – Friday Block Meetings.

We would also like to share our unique reinforcers, PBS merit certificates, prizes and PBS thermometer.

Time Workshop Session Abstracts

11:10 11:40

2b: PBS as Fundamental Change to School Culture Newton Moore ESC

The Positive Behaviour Support framework serves as a fundamental tenet underpinning the school’s ethos, operations and staff interactions. The shared values of the parents and support agencies have created an inspiring culture of positive relationships, both within the school, and between the school and the local community.

Implemented in 2010, the school has embedded a school-wide PBS approach as the foundation for all interaction, relationships and learning across the school.

This consistently articulated, and deeply valued approach has created a living culture that is evident from the moment a person steps on the school grounds or into one of the wider community programs that are run by the school.

It has been predicated on a strong understanding of the students and their needs. The students’ varying abilities and disabilities and how these factors impact on the student’s behaviour and ability to learn, master and generalise behaviour has been more universally understood as a result of the work in this area.

The long-term commitment to this approach has been a critical factor to its success.

11:40 12:10

2c: Tier 2 Implementation and Sustainability Newton Moore ESC

The Positive Behaviour Support framework serves as a fundamental tenet underpinning the school’s ethos, operations and staff interactions. The shared values of the parents and support agencies have created an inspiring culture of positive relationships, both within the school, and between the school and the local community.

Implemented in 2010, the school has embedded a school-wide PBS approach as the foundation for all interaction, relationships and learning across the school. In particular:

• School context as an Education Support Centre • What our data was saying prior to the intervention • How we built our model in conjunction with out Student Services Department • Impact the mentoring has had as a preventative in meeting student needs’ • Tier two show staff these students have other facets to them besides behaviour

How we are linking our Tier 2 with our High-Quality Learning in the school

11:10 12:10

3b: SMART Practice in ECE: The Journey for all students to achieve better outcomes Maidens Park Primary School

Maidens Park have invested significant efforts into the integration of Trauma-Informed practice into their Tier 1 (supports for all students).

This presentation will cover the Tier 1 “must have’s” for children to have success in an early childhood class and catering for diversity (behavioural, cultural, intellectual) in early childhood.

The importance of explicitly teaching behaviour, especially with children who have experienced trauma in their backgrounds, and the details of PBIS and Trauma Informed Practice implementation discussed.

Also included will be the critical importance of positive teacher-student relationship and celebrations of young children’s learning and success.

Time Workshop Session Abstracts

11:10 12:10

4b: Strengthening the Foundations: Tier One Implementation

Maidens Park Primary School

The presentation will showcase Maiden’s Park Primary’s whole school Tier 1 implementation. This will include: • The whole school PBS team, comprising component groups and a special project team • Whole school STAR expectations developed to fit the school and community context • The whole school acknowledgement systems (Star tickets, Supernovas, Galaxy awards, Shooting stars and whole • school celebrations) • The systems developed for whole school peer observations of the practice of giving positive to corrective feedback at a • 4:1 ratio • How the team developed clearly defined pathways for unproductive behaviour

11:10 12:10

5b: Positive Behaviour Support: Our Journey Glen Huon Primary School

A presentation on how PBS is implemented at Glen Huon Primary.

This will include implementation of Tier 1 and Tier 2, and a demonstration of the results which have occurred.

The presentation will include ample time for question and answer with the team responsible for implementing PBIS at Glen Huon PS.

11:10 12:20

6b: Motivation and Rewards Rypple

There exists a great deal of controversy, confusion and misinformation about the science of motivation and how it can be affected by “rewards”.

Educators want passionately to be teaching students in the most effective way, while avoiding doing any harm. The area of behaviour and reward is fraught with stress for educators who want to do the best for their students.

This workshop is designed to address staff concerns by showing the research basis for existing beliefs and models of effective practice using up to date models of motivation and encouragement. In this 30-minute workshop participants will:

• Explore the controversies about the use of rewards- specifically that it is detrimental to intrinsic motivation - the origins and research basis for these controversies,

• Explore the best-known model of motivation and how this is relevant to building effective behaviour encouragement systems in schools.

12:10 1:00 Lunch

1:00 1:30

1c: Systems to Support Effective Classroom Practices Rypple

The use of the eight effective classroom practices by all staff develops a common language and consistent approach across the school.

The goal is for these practices to be implemented by all staff in all settings.

This session covers the latest research in how to develop multi-component professional learning structures and systems to enhance teachers’ implementation of evidence-based practices with fidelity.

Time Workshop Session Abstracts

1:00 1:30

6c: The Interconnected Systems Framework: Universal systems to support teachers to help students be mentally healthy Rypple

The Interconnected Systems Framework is the application of the PBS framework to the promotion of good mental health in schools. The ISF provides a Structure and process for education and mental health systems to interact in most effective and efficient way.

This presentation will outline the key aspects of the ISF: 1. Utilize a single system of delivery (MTSS) 2. Promote mental health for all (Tier 1) and use data to identify thse children who need more support (systematic screening) 3. Install with multi-tiered system of support (specific interventions for children with internalising problems at Tier 2 and 3) 4. Move beyond access (simply “seeing” kids) to mental health interventions with specific outcomes (measuring response to intervention) Potential implementation projects in WA schools will also be discussed.

1:40 2:40

1d: Our PBS Implementation Journey Boyup Brook DHS

Our presentation will be focused on the unique process we have followed with our PBS implementation to date. We are often asked to share the journey and have had considerable success aligning it with our mental health priority at school. This has been a game-changer for us and has ensured success for both priorities.

We will outline the effective team processes we have used and specific approaches we have taken with regard to behavioural data collection and our unique approach to teaching our behavioural expectations of RESPECTFUL, RESILIENT, STRIVING FOR SUCCESS.

A considerable focus during the presentation would be to identify ways we have engaged our staff at each stage of the journey to ensure successful long-term change

2d: Equity vs Equality: When the support fits, wear it! South Bunbury ESC

South Bunbury Education Support Centre has a range of individualised programs to manage complex behaviour and support needs. PBS is at the foundation of our provision of equitable education, ensuring that we develop programs which meet the needs of all students.

In an endeavour to reduce critical incidents and the use of restrictive practices, SBESC has introduced a clear framework for linking our PBS to IEP development, social skill training, and structuring staff supports through a multi-tiered approach.

2:10 2:40

2c: Re-winding and Re-doing: Why context in PBS so important South Bunbury ESC

South Bunbury Education Support Centre has undergone a process of reviewing and redoing the Tier 1 component of their PBS practice to accommodate the contextual demands of their large primary education support centre. The result of this has been a carefully thought through re-launch which combines the whole school approach nature of PBS fidelity, with the highly individualised context when working with students with special needs. Staff from within the PBS Team will present how our PBS philosophy has strengthened through solid Tier 1 foundations, across our broad spectrum of students.

3c: Using the Positive Behaviour Approach to Engage Students in Outdoor Learning Bunbury Primary School

Bunbury Primary is a lead school in WA in the implementation of the PBS approach and has developed a number of innovative ideas and initiatives to support the PBS approach. The approach has assisted the school to establish a proactive and positive safe and caring school culture that focuses on prevention and creating a safe positive and productive learning environment.

Bunbury PS will be sharing some of the successful innovative playground initiatives developed at Bunbury Primary to engage students in outdoor play. The initiatives have been developed over the past 7 years to support the schools Positive Behaviour Support approach. Staff, students and the community have all contributed to development and the success of initiatives.

1:40 2:40

4c: Paperless PBS - Automating the PBS system Geographe Primary School

A description of the school’s PBS journey to date, over 5 years. We have tried to find ways to alleviate the workload of data collection, whilst maintaining and improving the availability and effectiveness of our school’s data. An experiment in 2017 to bring in “Behaviour Passports” was unsuccessful, in fact it brought about an undoing of PBS practices and principles in the school.

So, in 2018 we went looking for something to refresh and recapture the benefits of PBS in our school. One of our team stumbled across the PBIS Rewards app from the US. She contacted the company which has developed this app, and Geographe Primary was offered a free six-month trial of the system in our school for semester 2 2018.

This system involves using the app on a smart phone or digital device to award points to students under the four behaviour expectations, and these are automatically recorded on a digital data base which is easily accessible to staff, students and administration.

This means there is no longer a need for paper tickets: their distribution, collection, and collation are done for us automatically. The data can be analysed by individual students, class, house groups or other groups the school wants to use and set up. The system also comes with facilities to provide rewards and privileges which children can redeem with their points, as well as raffle and lucky draws.

1:40 2:40

5c: Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for Literacy iRise Education

The Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework can be described as “PBS for Literacy”. MTSS consists of five components:

1. Evidence-based curriculum and instruction at the universal level (Tier 1). 2. Universal screening of all students. 3. Evidence-based, instructional interventions at the targeted (Tier 2) and intensive (Tier 3) levels provided to each student

who needs them. 4. Progress monitoring for learners below expectations. 5. Data-based decision-making throughout the system.

This presentation will show how schools can use the MTSS approach to develop systems to provide best practice literacy interventions for all students.

Time Workshop Session Abstracts

1:40 2:40

6d: Tier 3: Interventions for Students with Highly Individualised Needs Rypple

This presentation will outline some processes for meeting the needs of children who are not successful when Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions are implemented, and who need more support.

Specific data decision rules/identification for early intervention, assessment tools, intervention designs and options for progress monitoring interventions will be shown.
