Using PBIS to Create a Brand Identity and Learning Climate
Presentation Abstract
This presentation will share how one high school in a medium size urban district leveraged PBIS to inculcate an improved environment, drastically reducing (by 75%) the number of Office Discipline Referrals (ODR), Out of School Suspensions (OSS), and tribunals over a three year period. The school implemented PBIS by making it a pervasive part of all aspects of the school, creating procedures and routines universally understood by all stakeholders. Also, an online tracking and management system was created to manage Level I and Level II offenses (those offenses not referred to Administration). Counseling was utilized to redirect students identified as struggling with Level I and Level II offenses. A rewards system was created that placed greater emphasis on intrinsic rewards rather than extrinsic rewards. In successfully implementing PBIS, a positive brand identity was created. Steps taken to re-brand the school will be discussed.
The Learning outcomes are as follows:
- How to implement PBIS and promote stakeholder buy-in and accountability
- Understand how high school implementation differs from implementation at lower levels.
- How to use PBIS to create a positive brand for your school
