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. PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) is an implementation framework for maximizing the selection and use of evidence-based prevention and intervention practices along a multi-tiered continuum that support the academic, social and emotional competence of all students.
PBIS: Circle Model
The systems, practices, and data you use to build and evaluate your PBIS implementation are like headers in an outline. The items on the TFI give you your subheads. From there, it’s up to you to fill in the details. Your systems reflect your school’s culture and support the adults in the building to do their best work. Your practices build on your students’ strengths and values to help them find success at school. Your data improves your decision-making and holds you accountable for making your implementation work for everyone.

Ohio Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Professional Development Requirements
Ohio law and rule require districts to implement a positive behavior intervention and support framework on a system-wide basis. To implement a schoolwide framework effectively it is essential to provide professional development to student personnel.
Ohio districts will provide professional development on PBIS to student personnel at least every three years. Professional development can be provided by a building or district PBIS Leadership Team or an appropriate state, regional, or national source in collaboration with the building or district positive behavior intervention and support leadership team. The professional development must include the following topics:
• An overview of positive behavior intervention and support;
• The process for teaching behavioral expectations;
• Data collection;
• Implementation of positive behavior intervention and support with fidelity;
• Consistent systems of feedback to students for acknowledgment of appropriate behavior and corrections for behavior errors; and
• Consistency in discipline and discipline referrals.
Please use this link to read the specifics of the PBIS professional development requirements.

Resources to help facilitators use this video include a Facilitator Guide and Strategy List.
