Process For Taking the TFI-All Voices

  1. Find a way for each team member to view
  2. Facilitator will read each question out loud
  3. Each individual will vote for their preferred score
  4. Team can discuss reasons for vote and come to a consensus*
  5. Coach records the vote of the team in PBIS Assessment

(Also a good idea to record your scores on a paper copy as well)

*When a team is unsure or can’t decide on a score, refer to the Administration Slides for help.

Focus on the Facts of PBIS

Myth

PBIS is not equitable

Facts

  • PBIS is a prevention-oriented process where adults implement evidence-based practices to enhance academic and behavior outcomes for ALL students.
  • Feedback & Acknowledgement Systems are developed to help staff provide positive and corrective feedback to EVERY student in the school consistently.

How can we make feedback more culturally responsive?

SWPBIS Big Idea

Attending to and acknowledging desired student behaviors increases the likelihood of these behaviors recurring and promotes a positive school culture.

PBIS Cultural Responsiveness �Field Guide page 21

Team Activity

  1. Read Page 21
  2. Share one thought or question your reading brought up for you with your team

Feedback & Acknowledgement Tasks

  1. Develop Acknowledgement Matrix
  2. Develop concrete token (Slip, Ticket, Gotcha!)
  3. Plan PD on strategies for Providing Feedback and Acknowledgement

So Much Research to Back this Practice Up!

Research indicates �that you can improve behavior by 80% just by pointing out what someone is doing correctly.

Laura Riffel, OSEP

  • Reinforce the teaching of new behaviors
  • Strengthen and encourage the behaviors we want to occur again in the future
  • Every adult interaction with a student is an instructional moment that influences what happens next.

Recommendations for Providing Positive Feedback

  • Recognize both effort and mastery
  • Make recognition specific and aligned with expected performance and behavior
  • More recognition than correction occurs�How does this apply to the school setting? Video (1:48 minutes, seconds)

Recognition is Aligned and Specific

Train All Staff on this Evidence-Based Practice-Behavior Specific Praise

Steps for Providing Behavior Specific Praise:

Step 1: Use the student’s name

Step 2: Name the behavior observed

Step 3: Tie back to school-wide expectations

Example: Jay, nice job sitting in your seat when the bell rang. Way to be Ready.

Non-examples:

Giving ticket without saying anything

Giving ticket for non-school wide expectations

Only giving for “above and beyond” behavior

Saying just, “Nice job,” “Good,” or “Fantastic.”

Choose an example and practice

Quick Think and Write

  • Choose one example below (or your own) and think about how you can provide aligned and specific recognition - Behavior Specific Praise
    • Student is on time for class
    • Student is helping clean up in the cafeteria
    • Student follows the morning routine
    • Student is walking in the hallway
  • Include: student name, what you saw, how that aligns to your expectations

Focus on the Facts of PBIS (continued)

Myth

The positive in Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) means that we give out rewards.

Facts

  • Providing positive feedback is part of an instructional process that reinforces the teaching of behavioral expectations.
  • Concrete symbols paired with verbal recognition strengthen the reinforcement.

Active Supervision: Systematic Review of Evidence (Allen, G. E. et al.,2020) (2)

YES! Active supervision meets CEC criteria as an evidence-based practice.

  • Active supervision is a proactive, low-intensity strategy to minimize challenging behaviors and increase desired behaviors.
  • Prevention focused (recess, lunch, transitions, dismissal, hallways, etc.) 

Your team will be learning how to implement this EBP strategy as intended during this training!
