Developing a School-wide PBS Action Plan
The objective for developing a School-wide PBS Action Plan is to define a systematic
plan for improving current discipline and behavior support programs. These programs
are intended to a) build an increasingly positive school climate, b) create a safer school,
and c) provide a system for managing misbehavior. The PBS Action Plan should define a
sequence of activities, resources, people, schedule, etc. needed to address improvements
in school discipline and behavior support practices and procedures. Integrating
information from several data sources is very useful when designing an action plan.
The School-wide PBS Action Plan should consist of the following for each school:
1. A completed copy of the attached “Positive Behavior Support Annual Action
Plan” (a example of a completed form is also attached on page 3)
2. Documentation of current procedures related to Positive Behavior Support and
discipline in your school
Examples:
 School rules/ Expectations grid
 Description of process for formally teaching rules/expectations across
settings to students
 Description of Reward system/Acknowledgement system for
rewarding appropriate behavior
 Office Referral process
 Office Referral form
 Office v. Staff managed behavior
 Social Skills programs being used
 School handbook (discipline procedures)
 Procedures for handling crises/dangerous behavior on campus
The following guidelines should be considered when completing the PBS Annual
Action Plan.
1. Develop the PBS Annual Action Plan as a team.
2. Identify data sources and analyze data
Examples:
 PBS Self Assessment
 Office discipline referral data
 School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) data
 Attendance & tardy records
 Detention/ suspension/ expulsion reports
 Staff surveys related to school climate/ behavioral concerns
3. Set long (1-2 year) and short (3,6, & 9 month) term objectives
4. Be specific about “who” will be responsible for each activity
5. Reference this Action Plan to monitor your progress throughout the year.
