PBIS Indiana District Awareness Session Center for Education and Lifelong Learning The Equity Project at Indiana University www.indiana.edu/~pbisin Purposes • Identify Key features of School-wide PBS and SWPBS that integrates culturally responsive practices. • Define implementation steps • Describe District Leadership Team Roles and Goals • Describe District Level Support Structures Needed for Sustainability • Outline Next Steps Basic Messages • To improve academic successes of our youth, we must also improve their social success. • Improving social success requires investing in the school-wide social culture as well as in strategies for classroom, and individual student intervention. • School efforts to improve academic and social success must address equitable outcomes for all groups.

School-wide PBS: A systems approach for establishing the social culture and individualized supports needed for all students to achieve both social and academic success. Evidence-based features of SW-PBS Prevention Define and teach positive social expectations Acknowledge positive behavior Arrange consistent responses to problem behavior On-going collection and use of data for decision-making Continuum of intensive, individual interventions.

(Mar. 2011) Cultural Relevance and Validation Supporting Student Behavior Supporting Decision Making Culture: the language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects that are passed from one generation to another. Every person on the planet is a member of at least one culture. (Glenn Hoffarth,2002) 18 Culture: What Is It? CR-PBIS is not…. • PBIS, itself, is not new; it’s based on a long history of behavioral practice and effective instructional design/strategies • CR-PBIS is not a specific practice or curriculum; it’s a general approach to preventing problem behavior • CR-PBIS is not limited to a particular group of people; but rather for all students and all adults • CR-PBS is not incompatible with other efforts that based in prevention and education • CR practice, itself, is not new. CR-PBIS is new… • It’s the integration of culturally responsive practice within the evidence-based schoolwide PBS framework Training Outlook • Develop culturally responsive school-wide PBS plan by: • Explicitly discussing inequity based on race, ethnicity, poverty, and disability • Training all school staff to become more self- aware about their beliefs and awareness of other cultures • Using data to identify target areas • Engaging with students and families to integrate different cultural perspectives WHY be/come Culturally Responsive? • Absence of any groups experience and voice leaves all groups at a disadvantage to appropriately and completely interact as humans. • It detracts from all of our humanity when WE consciously or unconsciously leave out individuals’ culture. • Prevents conflict and misunderstandings amongst different cultural groups Self Awareness • • • • Participants will define culture Participants will recognize they have a culture Participants will compare their culture to another Participants will identify potential personal bias and influence of stereotypes “Not only does culture allow us to maintain our sense of identity and how we perceive ourselves, it also represents the lens through which we view and evaluate the behaviors of others” ( Neal, McCray, Webb-Johnson, & Bridgest, 2003, p. 49) Three Things To Remember About Culture... •No culture is monolithic …. There are cultures within cultures •Culture, language, ethnicity and race form part of our identity, values, beliefs and behaviors. Other influences include: socioeconomic status, education, occupation, personal experience, community, family and individual personality. 25 •Culture is dynamic, not static CORK SCREW of CR Lens Application of Skill Skill Cultural Knowledge Cultural Knowledge Skill Cultural Awareness Cultural Knowledge Cultural Awareness Self-awareness Schools using culturally responsive SW-PBS have: • Staff engaged in • developing awareness of students’ and their own cultural backgrounds. • difficult conversations that directly address disparities evident in data. • Team-based systems for Targeted and Intensive behavior support • Students identify faculty/staff as actively promoting their success • Teams meeting regularly to: • Review disaggregated data • Determine if PBIS and culturally responsive practices are being used • Determine if practices are being effective for all student subgroups and their families Summary Invest in prevention Build a social culture of competence Focus on different systems for different challenges Build capacity through team processes, and adaptation of the practices to fit local context Use data for decision-making Directly engage in difficult conversations Begin with active administrative leadership SACM Tool and Teacher Evaluation • Domain 1: Planning and Preparation Preparation; Caring and Supportive Relationships; Teach Responsibility (with student input) Structure, Predictability; Establish, Teach Expectations; Managing Behavior; Maximize Positive Interactions; • Domain 2: Classroom Environment Rewarding Expected Behavior; Continuum of Responses to Misbehavior Effective Instructional Delivery; Evaluate Instruction • Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities Actively Engage Students through a variety of strategies Domain 3: Instruction or Delivery of Services Who will lead the efforts?
