Relevance to Primary Strand

While PBIS has been successful in many schools, there are still schools and districts that fail to launch or maintain it successfully. This presentation is aimed at helping district and school leaders examine PBIS through an Organizational Behavior Management lens to understand why initiatives fail, and what needs to be in place to make it successful.

Alignment with School Improvement Plan Topics

Leadership/ Continuous Improvement

Brief Program Description

One of the focuses of educational leaders in PBIS Schools should be to design strategies that accelerate and sustain good practice. As such, they must look beyond the behavior of the learners by broadening their focus to include systems and the behavior of the adults within the school. This presentation will focus on the improvement of PBIS Systems through the lens of Organizational Behavior Management.

Whether in a district or school level, one of the focuses of educational leaders in PBIS Schools should be to design strategies that accelerate and sustain good practice. As such, they must look beyond the behavior of the learners by broadening their focus to include systems and the behavior of those within the district and school. This presentation will focus on the improvement of PBIS Systems and outcomes through the lens of Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) as a means of creating meaningful behavior change. Specifically, this talk will focus on by improving and developing processes and systems, closing gaps in staff performance, improving retention, and ultimately bringing out the best in faculty and staff to improve behavior and learning outcomes.

Evidence

OBM can be seen as the intersection between behavioral science and improvement in organizational environments.

OBM is rooted in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA), which develops techniques to produce socially significant behavior in a wide range of areas and behavioral problems.
