Positive behavior support

Positive Behavior Support Systems (PBSS) are composed of a school wide approach using evidence based strategies that focus on effectively decreasing inappropriate behavior, while increasing academic performance and safety (Kincaid, Childs, Blase, & Wallace, 2007). The preparedness of a school is crucial in order to implement an effective Positive Behavior Support System. Preparation for implementation of a PBSS system requires staff buy-in, as well as communication, education of logic, and time management (Netzel & Eber, 2003). Lacy Elementary School is looking to implement a PBSS program in their school. The school administered The Scale of Effective School Discipline and Safety (SESDS) Questionnaire to their staff. Upon investigation of the…

All of these are the main questions that been discussed in a book called Parenting with Positive Behavior Support: A practical guide to resolving your child’s difficult behavior written by Meme Hieneman, Karen Childs and Jane Sergay. The authors of this book…

Traditionally, disruptive behavior in the classroom resulted in negative consequences symbolized by the image of the misbehaving student wearing the “dunce cap” (Weaver, 2012). However, now schools throughout the United States have begun to adopt Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS), which is designed to increase the amount of positive affirmation that students receive when behaving appropriately in the classroom (Caldarella, Williams, Hansen, & Wills, 2015). Research has demonstrated…

disruptive behavior. If students enter the classroom late and talk during the lesson, it becomes a distraction to the class. In addition, it wastes valuable time when the teacher must redirect the class. These disturbances hinder the teacher 's ability to teach the lesson successfully. As classrooms become more diverse and inclusive,…

Second, a very important subject to write about is Behaviour management, what I learnt through my course of Education support was that Behaviour Management is the use of techniques to change or eliminate unwanted behaviour and to encourage desirable behaviour. Teachers, teacher aides, specialist’s workers and parents all use behaviour management strategies. Some positive and equitable support techniques that I learnt and I put into practice in my vocational placement were establishing behaviour…

I believe that once schools adopt a Positive Behavior Support System (PBSS), each school will be unique in whether it will implement the program with an universal or a more distinctive approach that is specific for the high school, middle school, and elementary levels. Schools will need to create an “innovative combination of evidence practices that emphasize investing in a) prevention, b) teaching of basic social expectations, c) acknowledging appropriate behavior, d) preventing problem…

affects their daily instruction. Some of those factors are the emotional and behavior disorder of some of their students. The discipline of the students continues to be a challenging issue for teachers and principals. It interferes with the learning process and makes it harder for the students to master the academic concept that the teacher is teaching. Test accountability holds so much weight on student achievement that school administrators looking for ways to help reduce the discipline…

PBIS or Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, is an outline of techniques to increase positive behaviors which in turn will enhance academics. PBIS is focused on research based and data driven procedures that rewards students for positive behavior choices. PBIS systems have been researched and improved on since its establishment in the 1980’s. In the 1980’s, researchers at the University of Oregon realized that there was an enormous need for a different behavioral program for children…

Anyone who has ever worked in the school system has probably heard a complaint or two about students’ disruptive behavior. These behaviors interrupt the educational process not only for the students displaying them, but for those around them. The topic of this paper is an article by Lola Vollaire-Thomas, Jamilah Hicks, and Roslin Growe (2011) called “Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: An Interventional Approach to Improving Negative Student Behaviors”. The authors of this article discuss a…

PBIS stands for Positive behavior intervention and support. Most schools use this “method” so it’s easier for people to learn,to get help, and so on. The reason schools have used this method is because it helps with their positivity. At LC, people with positive behavior can get rewarded. People that are struggling, or who do not want to work, get an intervention and support if they really need it. Respect is a deep feeling of admiration for someone or something. An example would be taking care…
