Road to SuccessSchool-Wide positive behavior support plan2017-2018Road to Success Middle and High SchoolPositive Behavior Support in School ProjectIntroductionThe school-wide behavior support plan (BSP) developed by the Positive Behavior Support (PBS) Team is designed to improve school climate, enhance school-appropriate social skills, and support academic progress for RTS students. The goal of the PBS team, which is composed of teachers, administrators, and support staff, is to maintain a program consistent with the Franklin Township Board of Education’s Vision Statement for our school and community: The Franklin Township Board of Education commits to creating a positive school climate, which will instill a sense of pride, foster cultural sensitivity, increase academic achievement, and enhance safety for our students, staff, and community. This vision is realized through utilizing a systematic approach in the development and implementation of evidence-based practices designed to teach and acknowledge pro-social behaviors. The adoption of Positive Behavior Support, characterized by a continuum of positive reinforcement and discipline strategies, data based decision making, and the establishment of durable and sustained practices, will assist in our district-wide efforts to achieve our vision.Specific behavioral expectations have been developed for each school location based upon both the theme, “R.A.S.R” and the four School-Wide rules.RespectAccountability SafetyResponsibilityCritical features of the PBS program include the following:Commitment from all building staff, family members and community to create a common experience for our students.Explicitly teach and provide opportunities to practice the positive behavioral expectations.Recognize students who demonstrate positive behavioral expectations throughout the school building, at home and in the community.Define behaviors that constitute rule violations.Establish a discipline policy that delivers consequences for rule violations in a consistent and effective manner.Establish a system for ongoing communication and feedback regarding the PBS program.Evaluate the PBS program on a monthly basis using data generated by the Genesis program.The Positive Behavior Support Team – Pit CrewThe Road to Success Positive Behavior Support Team developed the following plan to improve school climate and enhance social skills and academic progress. Our MissionThe mission of the committee was to develop a program based on research-based strategies that would instill appropriate behaviors in students through teaching, modeling and reinforcing expected behaviors. It is the hope of the committee that this booklet will provide you with ideas and information about the plan…that it will enhance your own style of supporting school-wide discipline at Road to Success. If you have any questions, please ask a team member. Pit Crew MembersJoe DobisSherman Harris Jen Meyer Elizabeth SanabriaNicole PaciulliRodney Point-Du-JourMichael WensonPOSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT IN SCHOOLS School-Wide Positive Behavior Support is not just another initiative. It is a life-long change in how schools plan for and deal with discipline and problem behaviors. Over a thousand schools across the country have been successfully using School-Wide Positive Behavior Support to reduce occurrences of discipline and problem behavior. Schools in states such as New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Alabama, and many others have seen dramatic improvements in overall discipline and behavior problems as a result of using this approach What is School-Wide Positive Behavior Support? A systems approach to creating school environments that foster pro-social student behavior A process for using relevant and practical data to assess building priorities with regard to behavior and discipline problems A practical and positive approach to identifying and reducing behavior problems A flexible and adaptable process that uses a multi-level approach to intervention development How can School-Wide Positive Behavior Support impact our School? Increase the capacity of administrators, faculty and staff to deal with students who engage in chronic patterns of problem behavior Increase the capacity of administrators, faculty and staff to identify and plan for school wide discipline and behavior problems Result in a reduction in the overall number of behavior problems experienced across the school Result in an increase in socially appropriate student behavior Result in a system for monitoring and responding to emerging patterns of discipline and problem behavior How do we implement School-Wide Positive Behavior Support? Step 1: Form a building level team Step 2: Conduct a self -assessment Step 3: Define your building’s priorities Step 4: Design and implement targeted interventions Step 5: Monitor and modify interventions What activities occur when Implementing School-Wide Positive Behavior Support? A team is formed that includes members of the administration and representatives of faculty, staff, and parents The team is empowered to create and implement a school wide system The team guides the school community through a self assessment to determine building priorities and planning needs The team, in conjunction with input and participation from all members of the faculty and staff, design interventions to remediate targeted concerns All members of the faculty and staff implement intervention components that include: 1) modeling and teaching concrete behavioral expectations 2) modifying discipline and management practices 3) implementing a school-wide student recognition system Lohrmann, S.
