Assuming that these results reflect the faculty across the entire school and based on my analysis, I believe Lacy Elementary is ready to implement a school-wide Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS). “The common features to implementing RTI and PBIS include the following: (a) coordination of schoolwide prevention efforts and systems, (b) universal screening and progress monitoring, (c) selection and use of evidence-based practices, (d) professional development that targets evidence-based practice, (e) evaluating outcomes using data-based decision making, and (f) leadership commitment from administrators and school-based teams that supports school-wide implementation” (Kame’enui, Good, & Harn, 2005; Sugai & Horner, 2006).…

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) - A values led, person centred, evidence based intervention model that seeks to improve an individual’s communication, independence and quality of life. It aim to bring together best practice from Applied Behaviour Analysis, the inclusion movement Person Centred Planning. PBS is an inclusive approach, supporting people to stay in their homes and schools environments.…

When supporting positive behaviour there is lots of different approaches, most practitioners find they need to draw on several of these:…
Youth live in single-sex cottages in groups of 10 to 14 similar age and need. Nutritious breakfasts, snacks, and dinners are prepared by the cottage stuff, and lunches are provided at the Biondi School. Provides all bedding, toiletries, and school uniforms. Families can provide any special items they desire so long as they are within safety standards.…
It is essential that positive behaviour is always promoted, praised and used as children notice when adult’s behaviour is out of character, if positive and professional behaviour is continually used it is more likely that the pupils will also behave in that way. (Burnham and Baker 2010)…
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is an approach to supporting the people with challenging or problem behavior that combines both a set of values with a set of behavioral principals that we know to be effective. In general, positive behavior support approaches problems in multi ways such as what happens before the behavior, what’s the context of the behavior in terms of time, place, and what’s quality of the of the person. Our traditional approach to the discipline has been to stop behavior problems through the use of punishment. We still have a lot of those present today in the school system such as suspending, expelling, and referring. Positive behavior support system approach is to stop problems or undesirable behavior by replacing with new…
Positive Behavioral Intervention Support:* Reward the Good Things in Life “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we……teach?……punish?” The traditional view of discipline, to "treat the symptom (pay attention to the destructive behavior), ignore the disease (use a punishment that will not teach the student a skill to use in the future)" is in direct contrast to the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) approach that “ignore the symptoms (to a degree), treat the disease (find what basic need the student’s use of a behavior is trying to fill).” PBIS involves teaching the child new skills and behaviors using a positive rather than a coercive approach (studies show that coercive stimulates bad behavior).…
In addition to the three schools that participated in the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, a school district in northern Virginia implemented a bullying prevention program based on Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support. This study was conducted by a trio of researchers, Emily Goodman-Scott, Beth Doyle, and Pamelia Brott and is an approach that teaches students how to respectfully respond to the bully and victim when witnessing and engaging in bullying actions. The Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support teaches students three steps: stop, walk, talk. When being bullied, the student is taught to ask the bullying student to stop. If asking the offending student to stop does not work, the student is than taught to walk away. Lastly,…
Fruit intake implies both quantity and quality, simple meaning that I have intended to eat more fruit but also of different kinds. The rationale behind it is to be more flexible in future terms after the program has ended, thus decreasing monotony and increasing the probability to eat fruit. I decided to choose such behavior modification mainly for health reasons. I mainly needed to decrease sugar intake and thus replacing glucose and other sugars that might rot the teeth and cause other major problems later in life such as diseases like Diabetes, with fructose. Formally stating my competing behaviors as being sugars and other unhealthy food that will potentially interfere with the program because I have noted that I tend to pursue a all- or- nothing response. This means that I either start my day feeling the urge to eat healthy or else head into a masochistic approach and torture my body with sugars and fats that have been reinforced with stressing periods throughout the years. So that is why in my diet I have emphasized breakfasts and have included it in my behavior modification…
Our research project will determine if Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) will have an impact on students and to what fidelity does PBIS need to be implemented within a classroom. Our research focused on a group of 6th grade students that have varied discipline behaviors. We will be specifically focusing on the chronic unwanted behaviors, which include disruption, defiance, calling out, and distracting other students. The research project focused on how PBIS strategies change classroom climate.…
As a counselor you might encounter client who is an abuser. I think a behavioral intervention would be a good approach for this type of client. As a counselor I would use a behavioral intervention to help modify the client behavior. Modifying a behavior is to help the client change their behavior pattern when it is deemed appropriate (Hackney and Bernard,…
The school wide Positive Behavioral Supports approach is a three tiered program implemented by schools to improve or prevent behavioral challenges. In the first tier, students are taught a social skills curriculum that is positive, formal, and in support of the academic school mission. This strategy is implemented in every aspect of the school community including areas outside of the classroom. Only about twenty to thirty percent of students will need a more intensified approach if the school does an excellent job with school wide social skills. These students typically have trouble socially, break rules, and have difficulty following directions.…
Another innovative alternative to punitive discipline is positive behavioral interventions and supports. This student-oriented directive “offers a more comprehensive approach to minimizing school disruption by incorporating proactive alternatives, such as positive discipline, school management, and a tiered approach to addressing the increasing behavioral needs of students” (Fenning & Rose 2007), while concurrently teaching students appropriate alternatives to inappropriate behavior. The objective behind this method of discipline is to reinforce appropriate behaviors, as well as setting and enforcing clear rules that can be easily understood by students, thereby teaching students how to interact appropriately with their teachers and peers (Fenning & Rose 2007). Positive behavioral interventions and supports considers the reasoning behind any…
