Describe the reason for approaching
student behaviour from a systems level
Explain the essential elements of
School-wide PBS
Show some school outcomes
The New Yorker
The “Get Tough” approach:
Assumption that “problem” student…
Is inherently “bad”
 Will learn more appropriate behaviour
through increased use of aversives
 Will be better tomorrow…
…after the suspension

Science and our experiences have
taught us that students….


Are NOT born with “bad behaviours”
Do NOT learn when presented with
increasing levels of punishment
…Do
learn better ways of
behaving by being taught directly &
receiving positive feedback

Define school-wide expectations
(i.e., social competencies)
Teach and practice expectations
Monitor and acknowledge prosocial
behaviour
Provide instructional consequences
for problem behaviour
Collect information and use it for
decision-making
Critical Features of Effective
School-wide Expectations

Small number
2

to 5
Broad
 Cover
all expected behaviours
Memorable
 Positively stated

Bernard Elementary
Chilliwack School District
Positive Behaviour Support Program
On-going Acknowledgement
of Appropriate Behaviour

Every faculty and staff member
acknowledges appropriate behaviour

5 to 1 ratio of positive to negative contacts
System that makes acknowledgement
easy and simple for students and staff
 Different strategies for acknowledging
appropriate behaviour (small frequent
incentives more effective)

Are “rewards” dangerous?
“Our research team has conducted a series of
reviews and analysis of the literature; our
conclusion is that there is no inherent negative
property of reward. Our analyses indicate that
the argument against the use of rewards is an
overgeneralization based on a narrow set of
circumstances.”

Discourage Problem Behaviours
Do not ignore problem behaviour
 Provide clear guidelines for what is
handled in class vs. sent to the office
 Use mild, instructional consequences
 Remember the PURPOSES of negative
consequences

 Provide
more practice
 Prevent escalation of problem behaviours
 Prevent/minimize reward for problem
behaviours


Efficient systems for students who need
additional support beyond universal
programs
 Continuously
available
 Rapid access (within 72 hrs.)
 Consistent with school-wide system
 All school staff have access/knowledge

Should work for most (but not all) students

Individualized, function-based behaviour
support
 Identify what basic need students are
trying to meet with problem behaviour

 Teach
adaptive, prosocial skills to meet those
needs
 Change environments to make problem
behaviour less likely
 Stop inadvertently making problem behaviour
worse
