SST16 PBIS Newsletter
If a student doesn't know how to behave: WE TEACH IT!
SST16 PBIS Consultant: Missy Baker
I am here to support 24 Southeastern Ohio School Districts.

The latest version of the Big 5 Generator is now available for download. This spreadsheet generates data charts for per day/per month, behavior, location, time of day, and triangle data. This data can be used to generate simple problem statements that can be used for school wide data-based decision-making.
National PBIS Leadership Forum
This two-day forum is a technical assistance activity of the Center on PBIS and provides an opportunity for the Center to share information on the latest applications of PBIS. It has been designed to support state, regional, and local educational leaders, together with community and family partners, to increase the effectiveness of school environments through the evidence based PBIS framework.

Hey! I'm Here: the Ohio Youth-Led Conversation on Mental Health
I just recently attended the Trauma Informed Care Summit in Columbus and learned of a campaign called "Hey! I'm Here".
The purpose of the campaign as defined by youth is:
"A THOUGHT-PROVOKING campaign that shares real STORIES and CONNECTS OHIO YOUTH to a community that helps PLANT A SEED on their journey of mental health and recovery."
The Hey, I'm Here Ohio campaign is an innovative multi-media campaign that aims to connect with and support youth struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues in digital spaces, on their devices, and through their social media feeds. It recognizes that today's youth seek support, understanding, and a sense of belonging in community on their journey. The campaign also serves as a bridge between Ohio youth and the available resources throughout the state.
I think SOME students could benefit from the BLOG and the stories shared by the youth.
Supporting and Responding to Students' Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Needs
What Does This Guide Include?
*For Teachers
This guide prioritizes practices that are (a) designed
to promote students’ SEB growth, (b) consistent with
positive and proactive values, (c) free to implement
(e.g., not packaged programs), and (d) supported by
empirical evidence across contexts (e.g., elementary,
middle, and high schools; students from diverse
backgrounds and with diverse needs).

Supporting and Responding to Educators' Classroom PBIS Implementation Needs
What Does this Guide Include?
* For PBIS Leadership Teams
This guide combines (a) guidance for developing
systems to support educator use of evidence-based
classroom PBIS practices with (b) guidance on how
to use relevant data to inform district and school
leadership team decision-making about implementation
supports. The foundational logic for this guide is
derived from guidance in both implementation and
improvement science. Footnotes provide research
citations that support each system or data “step.”

PBIS TEAM Training Workbook
A workbook that will assist a PBIS Leadership Team in setting up Tier 1 practices. Many of the documents are assosiated with the PBIS Tier 1 Train the Trainer professional learning.
Is your district thinking about ideas for a fall PBIS kickoff?
TIPS
1. Create a PBIS schedule for the entire year.
- Meeting dates, training the staff, a teaching schedule to teach the expected behaviors, and other PBIS training opportunities.
2. The staff has been trained by the PBIS leadership team
3. Lesson plans have been developed and distributed to the staff to teach the expected behavior expectations by location
4. Create large and visible matrices in all "locations" around the building (an individual matrix for restroom, hallway, etc.)
5. The Tier 1 PBIS acknowledgement system is ready to be announced
6. Planning should involve making this memorable. The more time spent at the beginning of the year teaching, modeling, and reteaching the expected behaviors the less time staff will spend on behavioral issues
7. VIDEO(s) that show the expected behavior by area (this can be done in many different ways)- optional
House Bill 318
PBIS Connections to State Initiatives
Governor Kasich signed House Bill 318 in August 2018, with an effective date of Nov. 2, 2018, to address multi-tiered behavioral supports to reduce out-of-school suspension and expulsions, especially for prekindergarten through grade 3 students.
