  • jswilliams Jan 16 @ 10:38 PM EST
    A1: The current model in education has a huge inequity in discipline outcomes. #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Jan 16 @ 10:38 PM EST
    A1: provides a means for a way to have clear and consistent expectations & create interventions that are specific to the student #IEedchat

      Q1: In what ways does PBIS provide equity in school policies and procedures?
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:38 PM EST
    A1: Creates a culture of high behavioral expectations. Defines what "expected" behavior is. #IEedchat

    Q1b: In what ways is this not PBIS: 1st offense: Conference with the teacher, 2nd: Call home, 3rd: Detention, 4+: Suspension #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 16 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A1: In case your colleagues still ask you what PBIS is: https://t.co/FGAExLRU8n LOL. #IEedchat
  • ElemEdDept Jan 16 @ 10:40 PM EST
    A1 It keeps more of the responsibility in the profession's court...to respond, change and find what works. #IEedchat

      Q1: In what ways does PBIS provide equity in school policies and procedures?
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 16 @ 10:40 PM EST
    A1: it allows for clear expectations to be seen and understood for TS and SS #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:41 PM EST
    I like how you mentioned TS as well. We have to model good behavior for students. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chrisjlara24
  • MathButler Jan 16 @ 10:41 PM EST
    A1: For me PBIS still comes out as extrinsic motivator, but it establishes the standard instead of reacting inconsistently. #IEedchat
  • naghma_khn Jan 16 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A1. I feel it is a great step towards Inclusion too apart from creating empathy. #ieedchat
  • MathButler Jan 16 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A1b: it's all reactions for undesirable things, instead PBIS would look to articulate /desired/ outcomes. #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Jan 16 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A1:Ss w/ disabilities are disproportionately expelled. PBIS gives them a chance to learn appropriate behaviors #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 16 @ 10:43 PM EST
    Say more on this. Maybe an example or something #IEedchat
    In reply to @naghma_khn
  • rguztec Jan 16 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A1B:The expectation that was not met has not been mentioned once, you have to give them at least a warning #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 16 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A1b: I hate discipline matrix'. It seems so bureaucratic and impersonal. But I guess they could help guide the T try interventions #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Jan 16 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A2b: it doesn't address the possible reasons for behavior, not a true intervention #IEedchat

    Q2 is coming up. #IEedchat
  • naghma_khn Jan 16 @ 10:45 PM EST
    Ss strggling to voice their struggles benefit from a PBIS based app. Rather than reacting v work on + preventive ways. #IEedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:46 PM EST
    Q1B: PBIS focuses on reinforcing positive behavior. Time is spent on emphasizing HOW to act rather than reacting and conseq #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 16 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A1B: at what point were expectations discussed & the SS given a chance to demonstrate a renewed understanding of them #IEedchat
  • naghma_khn Jan 16 @ 10:47 PM EST
    Sometimes school feels very lost without a matrix.Saves time too ;) #IEedchat

    Q2: Why is it important to include a process for assessing academic support needs as part of determining responses to behavior? #IEedchat
  • naghma_khn Jan 16 @ 10:48 PM EST
    Exactly. Validates my point of inclusion @MathButler #IEedchat

  • MathButler Jan 16 @ 10:49 PM EST
    great comment, learning requires growth, intervention needs to highlight process, more than consequences #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chrisjlara24
  • Chad_Shaner Jan 16 @ 10:49 PM EST
    A2 a lot of behavior problems in the classroom stem from Ss masking their inability to participate due to academic struggles #IEedchat
  • rguztec Jan 16 @ 10:50 PM EST
    Absolutely, Frustrated student leads to Angry Student which is then behavioral student #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chad_Shaner
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 16 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A2: their behavior could be linked to their academics. A SS might be bored & act out bcuz they don't feel challenged #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 16 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A2: Great Q: because many Ss would rather be seen as a rebel than "dumb," so they act out to mask their academic deficiencies. #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A2: Misbehavior can stem from frustration with falling behind. Students who are successful typically don't misbehave. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 16 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A2: Change, when it involves humans, is hardly immediate. It requires steps in-between. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Jan 16 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A2:You need to know the student all around in order to better service them, some activities have to get altered for some kids #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Jan 16 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A2: When Ss don't know what they're doing, they'll do something else. Usually, not what you want. #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Jan 16 @ 10:51 PM EST
    Q3: What can we do for students who have home behavior expectations drastically different from school behavior expectations? #IEedchat
  • rguztec Jan 16 @ 10:52 PM EST
    I was guilty of that in High School, it happened in my math class. #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • ElemEdDept Jan 16 @ 10:52 PM EST
    A@ it SHOULD be academic APPROPRIATENESS because students at both ends of spectrum might act out if learning is not at appro level #IEedchat
    • ieedchat - Moderator Jan 16 @ 10:48 PM EST
      Q2: Why is it important to include a process for assessing academic support needs as part of determining responses to behavior? #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:52 PM EST
    Q3: Teach them what behavior is expected at school in every location at school; classroom, bathroom, lunch area, etc. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 16 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A2 cont:Many Ss act out as a reaction to Ts being unprepared. To not teach is to disrespect your Ss.So they disrespect right back. #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Jan 16 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A3: Create a caring classroom. Help students feel connected to school. Give them reasons to come to school other than school. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 16 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A2: Behavior and Understanding often related. Ss misaligned with behavior struggle w/ learning. Reverse true too. #IEedchat
  • naghma_khn Jan 16 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A2. Academic struggles, frustrations is usually manifested thru misbehavior. Everything is interconnected. #IEedchat

  • rguztec Jan 16 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A3:Ss need to know what is expected of them in the classroom, they know expectations on the football field are different as well #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Jan 16 @ 10:54 PM EST
    A3: remind Ss that different environments call for different behaviors. Provide specific examples #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 16 @ 10:54 PM EST
    A3: Give Ss opportunity to communicate home values. Writing prompts, open forums. Make it a point of discussion. #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:54 PM EST
    That is at the heart of PBIS. Have to stop assuming they know better. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chad_Shaner
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 16 @ 10:54 PM EST
    A3: it's a great learning experience to teach them anywhere they go they might face different expectations #IEedchat
  • ElemEdDept Jan 16 @ 10:55 PM EST
    A3 work w Ss to know the dif; Ts visit home to see how to adapt; invite Ps to visit; invite Ps to respond same as Ts #IEedchat

    Q3b: How does digital citizenship fit into PBIS? #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:57 PM EST
    Q3b: Need to teach students how to behave and act in various online settings. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 16 @ 10:57 PM EST
    A3: Ss without severe problems will simply adapt to the expectations of a good classroom teacher. #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:57 PM EST
    ...and that online behavior is no different than "real life" behavior. #IEedchat
  • naghma_khn Jan 16 @ 10:57 PM EST
    A 3. This may lead 2 inner conflict in child.Sometimes we have 2 invest in building bridges between various stakeholders.#IEedchat

  • rguztec Jan 16 @ 10:57 PM EST
    A3B: It tells them that there are a set of rules and expectations on how to behave online, It's not the wild west #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Jan 16 @ 10:58 PM EST
    A3b: The online world is still the real world. Teachers must still teach students how to act in the online setting. #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Jan 16 @ 10:58 PM EST
    A3b Social media has a direct impact on campus drama/altercations #IEedchat

    Any final thoughts on PBIS? #IEedchat
  • JSynnott1 Jan 16 @ 10:59 PM EST
    Boy does it ever. Many physical fights at school started out with trash talking online. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chad_Shaner
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 16 @ 10:59 PM EST
    A3b: we live in a digital world & our SS our exposed to technology in the classroom and need to understand expectations for that #IEedchat
