Why VTPBIS SU/SD Coordinators?

Research shows that one of the greatest predictors of sustainability is:  

• District administration actively supports PBIS (e.g., describes SWPBIS as a top priority, provides clear direction) and embeds into school and/or district policy (e.g., action plans, school improvement plans, mission/vision statements)

(Mathews, S., McIntosh, K., Frank, J. L., & May, S. (2014)

SU/SD Coordinator Role

• As member of the SU/SD Leadership Team, the SU/SD Coordinator develops and follows a long-range (3-5 year) plan for implementation of PBIS with specific goals and strategies that are aligned with other SU/SD and school initiatives;
• Facilitates communications with State TAs and VTPBIS Coaches;
• Ensures implementation readiness and ongoing fidelity of implementation;
• Identifies and secures needed resources;
• Participates in relevant PBIS trainings;
• Attends the schools’ PBIS Leadership Team meetings a few times during the school-year; and
• Conducts fidelity of implementation measures and assist schools with other PBIS data tools (training to be provided).

​

Why VTPBIS School Coordinators?

• The VTPBIS School Coordinator is the ultimate “cheerleader” and advocate for PBIS at the building level

​

• Provides technical assistance and support to the leadership team and school staff to improve implementation of the components of PBIS

School Coordinator Role

• Scheduling and facilitating monthly leadership team meetings;
• Attending VTPBIS Coordinators Meetings two/three times per year;

Great Strategies to

Start the Year

​

1. Buy-in vs. Collective Ownership

https://www.ascd.org/el/articles/why-teacher-buy-in-is-overrated

To what extent do you believe your staff has a sense of Collective Ownership over PBIS Implementation?

1. Our staff does not feel ownership over PBIS implementation

5. Our staff exhibits strong collective ownership
