Behavioral Definitions and Objectives: The report on Jason did a very good job identifying the problem behavior. One can see, that the report is broken into multiple sections such as general information, initial interviews, data collection, and behavior intervention plan. In addition, each section is broken down into subsections. For example, the section “Behavior intervention Plan” is fragmented into: Replacement Behavior, Behavior Objective, Intervention Procedures, Fading and Generalization, Data to be Collected, Program Review Date, Personnel and Roles, and Emergency Procedures.…
An important element of a Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS) is the readiness of staff to help implement the system. Critical to this process are the attitudes of teachers, their understanding and use of research-based classroom management strategies, and how they see their students responding to classroom and school discipline. Teachers of Lacy Elementary completed the Scale of Effective School Discipline and Safety Questionnaire (SESDS) to determine if the school is ready to move forward with the implementation of Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS). 58 items are surveyed and organized into 5 categories: Teachers’ Effective Classroom Management Skills, Teachers’ Positive Behavioral Interactions and Respect, Holding Students…

Positive Behavior Support Systems (PBSS) are composed of a school wide approach using evidence based strategies that focus on effectively decreasing inappropriate behavior, while increasing academic performance and safety (Kincaid, Childs, Blase, & Wallace, 2007). The preparedness of a school is crucial in order to implement an effective Positive Behavior Support System. Preparation for implementation of a PBSS system requires staff buy-in, as well as communication, education of logic, and time management (Netzel & Eber, 2003). Lacy Elementary School is looking to implement a PBSS program in their school. The school administered The Scale of Effective School Discipline and Safety (SESDS) Questionnaire to their staff.…

PBIS or Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, is an outline of techniques to increase positive behaviors which in turn will enhance academics. PBIS is focused on research based and data driven procedures that rewards students for positive behavior choices. PBIS systems have been researched and improved on since its establishment in the 1980’s. In the 1980’s, researchers at the University of Oregon realized that there was an enormous need for a different behavioral program for children with behavioral disorders.…
To understand positive behavior systems we must first understand what a behaviour is. A behavior is an action to communicate an individual's needs. “PBS promotes changes in behavior, skills and quality of life that are valued by the individual receiving support…” (Brown, Anderson, (2015) p.4). Understanding who the person is, and what they desire is essential to making positive behavioural approach more effective. “PCP is a process through which the strengths, wishes, future goals and support needs of an individual are identified” (Holburn, 2002; Mount, 2000; O’Brien & O’Brien, 2002; (Brown, Anderson, (2015) p.74).…
When asked to reflect on a time that I challenged a belief or idea I can think of one or two incidents in my life. This happened not to long ago with my school. We started this new program called Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS). This program is a new idea or belief that enforcing positive behavior with prizes or rewards will bust over all school behavior or just behavior in student in general. At my school we are rewarded red tickets by and at teacher discretion.…
Combined Pharmacological and Behavioral Interventions is a method of treatment that centers on the shared usage of medication and behavior treatment. This combination has been shown to be quite effective in treating children with ADHD and has several advantages over medication alone or behavioral treatment alone. With the addition of medication, the behavioral component of treatment may be able to be scaled down, thereby reducing the amount of time parents and teachers need to spend on shaping behavior. The dose of medication can be reduced for children using a combined approach. Parents knowledgeable about the use of behavioral treatments can apply such treatments during times when the child is not taking medication (i.e., in the evenings…
The most important factor in supporting positive classroom behaviours is to create a classroom that makes a student feel safe physically and emotionally. The brains of students are in the process of developing neural networks and can be moulded by the environment that they are in (Rossouw, 2014). In my classroom, I want students to feel calm through consistent student teacher interactions and encouraging students to develop their love of learning, without fear-based learning strategies. Creating a safe environment connects to AITSL (2011) standard 4.4 which is to ‘manage student safety’ and it is through the efforts of teachers that an environment can be created to be safe for students. Rossouw (2014), stressed the importance of implementing…

Ways to Treat Neglect A Controlled Evaluation of Family Behavior Therapy in Concurrent Child Neglect and Drug Abuse is a study where they selected 72 mothers who had been reported for child neglect and drug abuse by the Department of Family Services (Donohue, Azrin, Bradshaw, Van Hasselt, Cross, Urgelles, & ... Allen, (2014). Family Behavior Therapy (FBT) uses a family support system and therapy assignments as its foundation. The belief behind this therapy is that the parent’s drug abuse is the reinforcer behind everything. With taking a family approach to treatment there is a focus on communication, which is important in any form of treatment.…

Critically analyse and evaluate a range of behaviour management strategies and their effectiveness for both learners and teachers in a contemporary education setting. In 1987, the Professional Association of Teachers expressed trepidations regarding discipline in Britain’s schools. More than two decades on, the management of difficult and disruptive behaviour continues to be an issue in classrooms (Swinson and Cording, 2002; Watkins, 2011).…
