  1. School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS): Coaching for Effective Implementation Rob Horner University of Oregon pbis.org uoecs.org

  2. Goals • Current status of SWPBIS nationally • SWPBIS in Kentucky • Coaching • Who • When • How • Why • Lessons Learned

  3. Purpose • The purpose of SWPBIS is to make schools more effective learning environments for all students.

  4. A Concern We are narrowing the vision of education in the United States.

  5. School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) The social culture of a school matters. A continuum of supports that begins with the whole school and extends to intensive, wraparound support for individual students and their families. Effective practices with the systems needed for high fidelity and sustainability Multiple tiers of intensity

  6. What is School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support? • School-wide PBIS is: • A systems framework for establishing the social culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment (e.g. academic and behavior) for all students. • Evidence-based features of SWPBIS • Prevention • Define and teach positive social expectations • Acknowledge positive behavior • Arrange consistent consequences for problem behavior • Classroom linkage of behavioral and academic supports • On-going collection and use of data for decision-making • Continuum of intensive, individual intervention supports. • Implementation of the systemsthat support effective practices • SWPBIS is a multi-tiered Framework • NOT a specific Curriculum

  7. Establishing a Social Culture Common Language MEMBERSHIP Common Experience Common Vision/Values

  8. Sobering Observation Reduction in Incidence of Mental Retardation and Learning Disabilities The Oregon Department of Education has released graduation rates for all public high schools. Nearly one-third of all high school students don't receive a diploma after four years of study. by Betsy Hammond, The Oregonian Monday June 29, 2009, "All organizations [and systems] are designed, intentionally or unwittingly, to achieve precisely the results they get."R. Spencer Darling Business Expert Rise in Incidence of Autism © Dean Fixsen, Karen Blase, Robert Horner, George Sugai, 2008

  9. Systems Change • Effective practices produce effective outcomes only within effective systems • We have invested in defining effective practices but not in defining the systems needed for these practices to produce effective outcomes.

ESTABLISHING CONTINUUM of SWPBS • TERTIARY PREVENTION • Function-based support • Wraparound • Person-centered planning • TERTIARY PREVENTION ~5% ~15% • SECONDARY PREVENTION • Check in/out • Targeted social skills instruction • Peer-based supports • Social skills club • SECONDARY PREVENTION • PRIMARY PREVENTION • Teach SW expectations • Proactive SW discipline • Positive reinforcement • Effective instruction • Parent engagement • School-wide Bully Prevention • PRIMARY PREVENTION ~80% of Students

  17. Math Remember that the multiple tiers of support refer to our SUPPORT not Students. Avoid creating a new disability labeling system. Behavior Health Reading

  18. Six Basic Recommendations for Implementing PBIS • Never stop doing what already works • Always look for the smallest change that will produce the largest effect • Avoid defining a large number of goals • Do a small number of things well • Define what you will do with operational precision • Do not add something new without also defining what you will stop doing to make the addition possible.

  19. Six Basic Recommendations for Implementing PBIS • Collect and use data for decision-making • Fidelity data: Are we doing what we said we would do? • Impact Data: Are we benefiting students? • Adapt any initiative to make it “fit” your school community, culture, context. • Families • Students • Faculty • Fiscal-political structure • Establish policy clarity before investing in implementation

  20. Michigan State Board of Education Positive Behavior Support Policy The vision of the State Board of Education is to create learning environments that prepare students to be successful citizens in the 21st century. The educational community must provide a system that will support students’ efforts to manage their own behavior and assure academic achievement. An effective behavior support system is a proactive, positive, skill-building approach for the teaching and learning of successful student behavior. Positive behavior support systems ensure effective strategies that promote pro-social behavior and respectful learning environments. Research-based positive behavior support systems are appropriate for all students, regardless of age. The principles of Universal Education reflect the beliefs that each person deserves and needs a positive, concerned, accepting educational community that values diversity and provides a comprehensive system of individual supports from birth to adulthood. A positive behavior support policy incorporates the demonstration and teaching of positive, proactive social behaviors throughout the school environment. A positive behavior support system is a data-based effort that concentrates on adjusting the system that supports the student. Such a system is implemented by collaborative, school-based teams using person-centered planning. School-wide expectations for behavior are clearly stated, widely promoted, and frequently referenced. Both individual and school-wide learning and behavior problems are assessed comprehensively. Functional assessment of learning and behavior challenges is linked to an intervention that focuses on skill building. The effectiveness of the selected intervention is evaluated and reviewed, leading to data-based revisions. Positive interventions that support adaptive and pro-social behavior and build on the strengths of the student lead to an improved learning environment. Students are offered a continuum of methods that help them learn and maintain appropriate behavior and discourage violation of codes of student conduct. In keeping with this vision, it is the policy of the State Board of Education that each school district in Michigan implement a system of school-wide positive behavior support strategies. Adopted September 12, 2006 …it is the policy of the State Board of Education that each school district in Michigan implement a system of school-wide positive behavior support strategies.

  25. Academic-Behavior Connection • Achieving Academic Success involves creating a positive school climate. • The importance of a positive school climate is greater for those students at risk for academic failure than for those not at risk. • Building a positive school climate without delivering high quality instruction will be insufficient to achieve student academic outcomes.

  26. Using PBIS to AchieveQuality, Equity and Efficiency • QUALITY: Using what works; Linking Academic and Behavior Supports • North Carolina (valued outcomes) • Michigan (behavior and literacy supports) • Commitment to Fidelity Measures • Building functional logic/ theory/ practice (Sanford) • EQUITY: Making schools work for all • Scott Ross • Russ Skiba • Vincent, Cartledge, May & Tobin • Bully prevention • EFFICIENCY: Working Smarter: Building implementation science into large scale adoption. • Using teacher and student time better. • Dean Fixsen/ Oregon Dept of Education

  27. Coaching within SWPBIS • A Context for Coaching • Coaching Defined (What is it?) • The Outcomes of Coaching (Why?) • Who/When/ How

  29. Coaching Defined • Coaching is the active and iterative delivery of: • (a) prompts that increase successful behavior, and • (b) corrections that decrease unsuccessful behavior. • (c) problem solving to adapt core concepts and practices to the local context. • Coaching is done by someone with credibility and experience with the target skill(s) • Knowledge of SWPBIS, Knowledge of Behavioral Theory • Coaching is done on-site, in real time • Coaching is done after initial training • Coaching is NOT training • Coaching is done repeatedly (e.g. monthly) • Coaching intensity is adjusted to need

  30. Outcomes of Coaching • School team improves Precision and Fluency with SWPBIS skills developed during training • PBIS procedures are Adapted to fit local contexts and challenges • Increased fidelity of overall SWPBIS implementation • Rapid redirection from miss-applications • Team improves Problem Solving • Especially use of data for problem solving • Improved Sustainability • Most often due to ability to increase coaching intensity at critical points in time.

  34. Coaching vs. Training • Coaching involves active collaboration and participation, but not group instruction. • Small group • Build from local competence • Sustainable

  35. Who should be a coach

  36. Activity: Rate your current skills/knowledge

  37. What Coaches Do • Work with team during initial SWPBIS training • Meet with new teams monthly on-site until they meet Tier I criterion • Telephone/email contact as needed (with on-going teams) • Pre-correct • Self-assessment (EBS Survey, Team Checklist, BoQ, MATT) • Action planning • Activity implementation • On-going evaluation • School self-evaluation efforts • State-wide Initiative evaluation efforts (SET) • Guide State-wide initiative • Feedback to Taskforce/ Leadership Team

  38. Commitment of Coaches • Team Support • First Year (1-5 teams) (participate in training and planning) • Second Year (Maintain initial teams, start 3-5 new teams) • Future Years (10-15 teams total) • FTE commitment • 20-50% • Roles/Background • Behavior Specialists, Special Education Teachers • Consultants, Administrators • School Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers

  39. Guiding Principles for Effective Coaching • Build local capacity • Become unnecessary…but remain available • Maximize current competence (action planning) • Never change things that are working • Always make the smallest change that will have the biggest impact • Focus on valued outcomes • Tie all efforts to the benefits for children • Emphasize Accountability • Measure and report; measure and report; measure and report. • Build credibility through: • (a) consistency, (b) competence with behavioral principles/practices, (c) relationships, (d) time investment. • Pre-correct for success

  40. Sustainability/ Scaling • Acknowledge that there are Stages of Implementation

  41. Sages of Implementation School Level Implementation Takes Time: 2 – 4 Years EXPLORATION INSTALLATION INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION FULL IMPLEMENTATION How long at a district level? How long at a state level? How long at a national level? Fixsen & Blase 2012

  42. Summary • SWPBIS is effective, possible and scalable • Coaching is a core function within SWPBIS implementation • Coaching makes a difference • Coaching involves a complex set of skills • Each of us should be able to identify the next set of coaching skills we are developing. • Coaching affects: • Initial implementation • Sustained implementation • Scaling of SWPBIS implementation
