PBIS Skillbuilder Modules

There is a significant relationship between student behavior in the classroom and the surrounding environment. In a nut shell, what we do (or how we act) in the classroom directly influences how our students behave.


Expecting Respect -Bully Prevention in PBIS is a three-day workshop developing tools necessary to remove the social rewards maintaining bullying behavior through a strong link to school-wide positive behavior support. A discrimination between "being respectful" versus "not being respectful" across all settings and the explicit teaching of a simple, school-wide response to bullying that is effective for victims, bystanders, and perpetrators is designed to fit the context of your school. Schools design vignettes that highlight this prevention-focused approach blending socially valued outcomes, research-based procedures, behavioral science and a systems approach to decreasing bullying behaviors.


The Amazing Race - Culturally Responsive PBIS (CR-PBIS) is a two-day workshop designed to answer the question, ìWhat does a PBIS school that considers culture look like? CR-PBIS is a framework for integrating issues of race, ethnicity, and culture through, (a) systematically promoting cultural knowledge and self-awareness, (b) commitment to culturally relevant and validating student support practices, and (c) culturally valid decision-making to insure culturally valid student outcomes. Vignettes create opportunities for cultural self-awareness, relevance, validation and equity of PBIS practices.


911- Responding to Problem Behavior is a two-day workshop building knowledge, resources and strategies for preventing and responding to minor student misbehaviors and noncompliant situations. Create vignettes to increase understanding of why our studentsí act the way they do based on function of behavior and demonstrate proactive strategies for intervening during phases of escalation and meltdowns.


The Price is Right - Building Internal Motivation in Acknowledgment System is a two-day workshop focusing on the process of encouraging appropriate behavior and how to best incorporate this process into classroom and non-classroom settings. Design your acknowledgement system with understanding of the role and function of rewards and the three elements of true internal motivationóautonomy, mastery, and purpose.


Quantum Leap - Teaching Pro-social Skills is a two-day workshop following the mantra, ìsocial skills should be taught to children using the same strategies that are used to teach academic skills.î Vignette development covers the top seven instructional strategies for teaching school-wide pro-social skills and the process of matching social skill classifications with instructional approaches for targeted group interventions.


Mission Possible - Active Supervision is a one-day workshop that follows the wisdom of investing in the smallest thing to produce the greatest effect. Participants create example and nonexample vignettes to teach the components of active supervision. Particpants practice processing activities for teaching all adults how to engage appropriately with students who display both externalizing or internalizing behaviors in classroom and nonclassroom settings.


Project Runway - Classroom Management Design is a two-day workshop. Taking theory to practice and practice to instructional support, Project Runway transforms participants into classroom management coaches. You will delve deeper into five evidence-based practices and create runway vignettes to showcase classroom environments and adult behaviors that maximize opportunities for academic and social success.


Eye on Engagement - Multiple Opportunities to Respond (OTR) is a one day workshop highlighting the evidence-based practice of OTR; the instructional questions, statements and/or gestures that maximize response from all students. Vignette productions feature the signature components for optimal rates of response and strategic instructional delivery for increasing individual and/or whole class opportunities to respond (OTR).


TIPS: Team Initiated Problem Solving Using Data for Decision-Making is a two-day training to guide PBIS teams toward building effective problem solving systems. Through active participation, school teams explore team-meeting foundations, define problems with precision, build function-based solutions and transform solutions into action plans. Teams that receive the training have been found in formal research studies to (a) improve the quality of their problem solving and (b) improve the implementation of solutions that benefit students.


Team Road Trip: Team-based Training for the ABCís of Behavior Pack your bags for a two-day journey to define and understand behavior. Along the way you will construct hypothesis statements that summarize the WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, & WHY of a studentís behavior. Your teamís final destination will be to conduct practical function-based assessments and understand a simple and efficient process to guide behavior support planning and implement a function-based behavior plan..
