Friday August July PB4L Conference Session 1: George Sugai (website) resources School Climate + Local Context: Implementing School-wide Positive Behaviour Support
Q + A Session:
PB4L Variables for Success
administrator support (SLT)
needs a strong team, meeting frequently
teaching PB4L lessons within the classroom setting
Norms and expectations need to be consistent ex) Year 7/8 fine for form teachers, issues elsewhere
kids know what is accepted where and flip their switches on and off
needs same consistency across the school
What kids say don’t match what they feel (“I hate school, this is the worst” but school is their safe place)
Tier 2 - looks like small group interventions
ex) Jude card, check in check out cards, behaviour cards etc. providing additional support for students who can’t self manage and need help with their cards
can’t change parent behaviour, but keep them in contact - positive communication, using common language related to school values, giving examples of pros and cons, advise of next steps
positive enforcements; sending postcards, being appreciative of things being returned to school, keeping them responsible and accountable
PB4L done well = 80% of children responding, 20% will need extra support - same with staff
extra attention to be successful; Tier 2 and Tier 3 for staff members
engage, build relationships - using the same initiatives with the adults (CARR postcards etc.)
Greeting kids at the door - research proven
Personalized to each student
Positive greeting helps with academic engagement and decreased behaviour problems
Student who does not greet you, pull them aside, have them greet others - improve their positive interactions
Greet staff as well - improving school climate
