PBIS
My major project is focused on implementing the PBIS program into my school. As a county, all schools are being encouraged to adopt the program but it is not an easy task. As a result, the county has hired a representative to be in charge of assisting all schools with the assimilation process. On a local level, I am the direct contact for my school and I share a major role in insuring that my school successfully implements the program. To date, I have created a website that displays all the rewards, sponsors, and purpose of PBIS. I am also in the process now of trying to determine how to continue to keep students excited about doing the right thing. That includes continuously developing activities that will capture students attention and make them want to earn Campbell cash that will allow them to purchase rewards. Much like last semester a major challenge is to keep teachers motivated with passing out the Campbell cash to students. Data has been collected to show the improvement in school behavior since last year and we will continue to make comparisons of the school climate this year with the previous year.

Good Luck. You are absolutely right it is not an easy task to implement PBIS. My school started PBIS this school as a part of our advisory program. I think we dropped the ball. We started the school year off with high hopes. We created bulletin boards around the school and met with the students. However, there was no consistency in stressing positive behavior or rewards. One good strategy that we still have in place is a incentive store. Students receive dollars for certain behaviors or being in compliance with wearing their uniforms. However, we started the store and closed it for a few weeks and then opened it back up, so once again I think the key is consistency.
