Positive Behavior Support Outline

Positive Behavior Support Steps:

1. Talk about implementing Positive Behavior Support with your


administrator. It is essential that you have support for your plan.
If you administrator and the rest of the school is on board, you
can begin incorporating PBS into your classroom and school.
2. Review your classroom rules, policies, consequences, and
procedures to make sure they create the environment youre
going for.
3. Look at your actions and reactions. Are you contributing to the
environment you desire?
4. Incorporate the three-tier approach to prevent misbehavior.
5. Create a system of positive reinforcements to reward student
behavior.

Key Aspects of Positive Behavior Support:

Positive Behavior Support is focused on preventing behavior

problems, not reacting to them.


A PBS discipline plan can be used by an individual teacher or
schoolwide, but is most effective if the whole school agrees on it.
Administrators, teachers, staff, and students must all agree on

and contribute to the plan for it to be the most effective.


PBS requires teachers to spend time teaching students rules,
procedures, reminding students how to act both in class and in

other school spaces, teaching prosocial skills to students, and


conducting behavioral analysis on students with serious behavior
problems. PBS argues that this time is well spent, as it would

have alternatively been spent disciplining students.


PBS has a three-tier approach to dealing with behavioral

problems.
The first tier is primary prevention, which focuses on the
prevention of problems before they occur. The way this works is
by creating a foundation of support to prevent problem behavior
and academic failure. Thie tier focuses on structuring the school
environment so that problems do not occur in the first place. This
involves creating rules, consequences, procedures, and rewards.
All faculty and staff monitor students to ensure they follow the
rules and procedures created. Research indicates this system of

support prevents misbehavior in 80-90% of students.


The second tier is seconding prevention. This tier deals with the
10-20% of students that need assistance to following rules past
the first tier. Secondary prevention can occur either in class or
through school intervention. This type of prevention can be
enforced through individualized behavior management programs
or group counseling. Students that continually display problem
behavior are sent to a schoolwide team where they are given the

prosocial tools to act correctly in class.


The third tier is tertiary prevention, which focuses on students
with behavior that is highly disruptive, dangerous, or impedes

learning. These students make up 5-7% of the student population


and dont respond to primary or secondary prevention. These

students will receive intense, individualized interventions.


PBS as used in the classroom focuses on setting rules and
routines. Each plan is unique to each individual classroom. They
relate to schoolwide expectations to create a cohesive discipline

plan.
The physical structure, including where students and teachers
desks are, is also key to PBS. Developing an effective physical
structure helps create a flow where students can turn in

assignments, do their work, and exit the classroom.


Positive teacher-student interactions and positive learning
environment help make PBS effective. Teachers use wait time,
prompts, and instructional talk to help provide support to
students.
