Is your school interested in implementing PBS?

Following is a checklist that shows the steps to researching and preparing for pre-training activities around PBS. If you would like to see this as a flow chart, click here.

1. Your school/school district or staff person identifies the need for a behavior/discipline program in the school.
2. Behavior must be one of the top 3 goals for your school.
3. Administrator and staff need to attend a PBS awareness session.
4. All staff receive a PBS overview presentation (contact your AEA office)
5. After the all staff presentation, staff vote on the possible implementation of PBS. The decision to implement PBS should be given much thought.You are looking at a program that you plan to implement for no less than a decade. You need 80% of staff buy-in to proceed.
6. The administrator will need to be prepared to commit to the following:

• Be an active member of the local PBS Leadership team, including attending all trainings and local meetings.
• Allow time for Leadership team to meet and implement PBS
• Find fiscal resources to cover costs (substitutes so staff can attend trainings, mileage, meals, SWIS, etc)

7. PBS is a program that accesses data to make decisions. The program we work with is called SWIS (School-wide Information System). SWIS provides reports based on how often, when, where, who, what and presents the data in graphic format. Your school must agree to use SWIS or a comparable. The cost is $250 per year per building. If you are a K-12 building, you will need more than one license. Call the Alliance office if you are planning to use a different program. (Mary-515-271-4560, Deb-515-271-1823).
8. Your staff is now ready to the the Self-Assessment survey which will help you focus your work to meet the school needs. Call Mary at 515-271-4560.
