Goals for today
• Define the logic and core features of Schoolwide PBS
• Define the implementation approach
• Define core features of classroom management
Logic for School-wide PBS
• Schools face a set of difficult challenges today
• Multiple expectations (Academic accomplishment, Social competence,
Safety)
• Students arrive at school with widely differing
understandings of what is socially acceptable.
• Individual student interventions
• Effective, but can’t meet the need as a school.
• School-wide discipline systems
• Establish a social culture within which both social and
academic success is more likely
The Challenge
• Lack of discipline is viewed as one of the most
serious challenges facing public schools
– National Education Goals Report
• Teachers report that “uncivil” behavior is increasing
and is a threat to effective learning
– Skiba and Peterson, (2000)
• There is a link between general level of disruptive
behavior and more extreme acts of violence
– Skiba and Peterson, (2000)
Research Findings
• The same research reviews indicate that
the most effective responses to school
violence are:
– Social Skills Training
– Academic Restructuring
– Behavioral Interventions
– Family supports and follow through
