This series will focus on utilizing effective PBIS practices in the classroom. Classroom practices that will be discussed in-clude: active supervision, activity sequencing and choice, opportunities to respond and task difficulty. In addition, connec-tions to school-wide PBIS structures will be made. These connections will be made through the illustration of the following classroom practices: developing expectations, teaching classroom procedures and routines, encouraging expected behavior and discouraging inappropriate behavior. Practices shared at this professional development will help teachers strengthen be-havior management in their classroom.
PBIS is a framework or approach for assisting school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based behavioral inter-ventions into an integrated continuum that enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all students.
PBIS IS NOT a packaged curriculum, scripted intervention, or manualized strategy. PBIS IS a prevention-oriented way for school personnel to (a) organize evidence-based practices, (b) improve their implementation of those practices, and (c) max-imize academic and social behavior outcomes for students. PBIS supports the success of ALL students (PBIS.org).
Participants will:
- Identify the rationale for implementing PBIS in the classroom
- Understand aspects of a classroom PBIS framework
- Understand overarching expectations and determine how they will be taught to students
- Understand reinforcement systems and systematic plan for error correction
- Identify research-based practices for a classroom including activity sequencing and choice, opportunities to respond and task difficulty
- Identify resources for PBIS at the state and national level
