3 Objectives
• Rationale
• Features
• Implementation
2001 Surgeon General’s Report on
Youth Violence: Recommendations
• Change social context to break up
antisocial networks
• Improve parent effectiveness
• Increase academic success
• Create positive school climates
• Teach & encourage individual
social skills & competence
School-based Prevention & Youth
Development Programming
Coordinated Social Emotional & Academic Learning
Greenberg et al. (2003) American Psychologist
• Teach children social skills directly in real context
• “Foster respectful, supportive relations among
students, school staff, & parents”
• Support & reinforce positive academic & social
behavior through comprehensive systems
• Invest in multiyear, multicomponent programs
• Combine classroom & school- & community-wide
efforts
• Precorrect & continue prevention efforts
Lessons Learned: White House
Conference on School Safety
• Students, staff, & community must have means of
communicating that is immediate, safe, & reliable
• Positive, respectful, predictable, & trusting studentteacher-family relationships are important
• High rates of academic & social success are
important
• Positive, respectful, predictable, & trusting school
environment/climate is important for all students
• Metal detectors, surveillance cameras, & security
guards are insufficient deterrents
Characteristics of Safe School
Center for Study & Prevention of Youth Violence
• High academic expectations & performance
• High levels of parental & community involvement
• Effective leadership by administrators & teachers
• A few clearly understood & uniformly enforced,
rules
• Social skills instruction, character education &
good citizenship.
• After school – extended day programs
SW-PBS Logic!
Successful individual student
behavior support is linked to
host environments or school
climates that are effective,
efficient, relevant, & durable
(Zins & Ponti, 1990)
Context Matters
Examples
Individual Student
vs.
School-wide
Fortunately, we have a science
that guides us to…
• Assess these situations
• Develop behavior intervention plans
based on our assessment
• Monitor student progress & make
enhancements
All in ways that can be culturally &
contextually appropriate
Crone & Horner, 2003
However, context
matters….
What factors influence our ability to
implement what we know with
accuracy, consistency, & durability
for students with serious emotional
& behavioral challenges?
Messages!
1. Successful Individual student
behavior support is linked to host
environments or schools that are
effective, efficient, relevant, &
durable
2. Learning & teaching environments
must be redesigned to increase the
likelihood of behavioral & academic
success
2 Worries & Ineffective
Responses to Problem
Behavior
• Get Tough (practices)
• Train-&-Hope (systems)
Worry #1
“Teaching” by Getting Tough
Runyon: “I hate this f____ing
school, & you’re a dumbf_____.”
Teacher: “That is disrespectful
language. I’m sending you to the
office so you’ll learn never to say
those words again….starting
now!”
Immediate & seductive
solution….”Get Tough!”
• Clamp down & increase monitoring
• Re-re-re-review rules
• Extend continuum & consistency of
consequences
• Establish “bottom line”
...Predictable individual response
When behavior doesn’t
improve, we “Get Tougher!”
• Zero tolerance policies
• Increased surveillance
• Increased suspension & expulsion
• In-service training by expert
• Alternative programming
…..Predictable systems response!
But….false sense of
safety/security!
• Fosters environments of control
• Triggers & reinforces antisocial behavior
• Shifts accountability away from school
• Devalues child-adult relationship
• Weakens relationship between academic
& social behavior programming
Science of behavior has
taught us that students….
• Are NOT born with “bad behaviors”
• Do NOT learn when presented
contingent aversive consequences
……..Do learn better ways of
behaving by being taught
directly & receiving positive
feedback

Acknowledging SW
Expectations: Rationale
• To learn, humans require regular &
frequent feedback on their actions
• Humans experience frequent feedback
from others, self, & environment
– Planned/unplanned
– Desirable/undesirable
• W/o formal feedback to encourage
desired behavior, other forms of
feedback shape undesired behaviors
Acknowledge & Recognize
Are “Rewards” Dangerous?
“…our research team has conducted a series
of reviews and analysis of (the reward)
literature; our conclusion is that there is no
inherent negative property of reward. Our
analyses indicate that the argument against
the use of rewards is an overgeneralization
based on a narrow set of circumstances.”
– Cameron, 2002
• Cameron & Pierce, 1994, 2002
• Cameron, Banko & Pierce, 2001
Reinforcement Wisdom!
• “Knowing” or saying “know” does
NOT mean “will do”
• Students “do more” when “doing
works”…appropriate & inappropriate!
• Natural consequences are varied,
unpredictable, undependable,…not
always preventive
