Rationale

• Snow Horse Elementary was a new school this year,
  which provided a prime opportunity to establish a
  PBIS climate.
• We wanted to introduce our teachers (all coming
  from different backgrounds and experience) to the
  concepts of PBIS.
• Our most exciting outcome involved seeing the
  high rates of positives given by various staff.

4
Data indicators

• Our team regularly reviewed office discipline
  referrals, tardies, attendance, number of
  stars/horseshoes given (classwide rewards), and
  number of individual student recognition.

Trends and changes in data indicators

• What was the beginning point on the indicator
  data?
• What kind of comparisons were you able to make
  (year to year, month to month, quarter to
  quarter, etc.)
• What did/do you need to know more about regarding
  your data?

6
Implementation

• We conducted staff/parent/student surveys and
  shared the results to identify areas of need.
• We used our UBI money to provide incentives for
  staff to teach expectations and to acknowledge
  student positive behaviors.
• Monthly drawings as well as treats for whole
  staff were used to maintain interest and support
  of PBIS efforts.
• We shared the results of our surveys with staff
  and parents.

7
Final data

• We ended with a high rate of positives versus
  negatives.
• These data tell us that we met our goal of
  obtaining staff buy-in.

8
Plans for adjustment

• We will continue teaching and reinforcing
  schoolwide expectations, while developing
  correction procedures for next year.

Discussion

• It was exciting to see the concepts we learned in
  the summer be put into practice.
• Our results were better than what was expected at
  the beginning of this process.
• We learned that administrative support, teamwork,
  incentives and encouragement (as well as taking
  baby steps) are critical factors positive
  results.
• We did not know how much fun this would be as we
  embarked on this UBI journey.
