Literature Review

This section will examine the history of Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS). Then explain how PBIS is an important addition to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Followed by an in-depth look at what the three tiers of PBIS are and the purpose they serve. Finally the vital role of the school counselor is explored to see whether the counselor would be a good candidate to implement the School Wide Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (SW-PBIS) framework.
History of PBIS Gresham (1991) “PBIS started in the early 1980’s, as need for preventing unfavorable behaviors in children with behavior disorders (BD) arose, rather then waiting for the negative behavior to occur and using intervention …show more content…

The PBIS model is broken down into three-tiers. Tier one, which is the primary prevention tier, which affects every student. Tier one is used to prevent problem behavior before it happens. Tier one PBIS framework is taught to teachers during a professional development meeting. Teachers are asked, what are three unfavorable behaviors that as a team you could turn around to be positive expectations? For instance, if teachers choose students are showing disrespect for themselves, as well as disrespect for their peers and school. The PBIS team could choose to select respect yourself, your peers and your school as their behavioral expectation school wide. Tier one is enforce school wide. All school personnel model positive appropriate through proactive measures, such as student expectations and clear boundaries in a positive consistent way. Parent involvement is also highly encouraged at tier …show more content…

The evidence of who should initially implement PBIS into the school system is not clearly defined. Although, I did find an article that suggest that school counselors should implement the PBIS model. “School counselors are qualified to create school-wide interventions addressing student behaviors” (Sherrod, M. D., Getch,Y. Q., & Ziomek- Daigle, J. 2009). Once a school develops a PBIS team a school counselor could implement SW-PBIS in the following ways. A school counselor could partner with the PBIS team, which consists of volunteers selected at a professional development meeting. Therefore at tier one the school counselor would make behavioral lesson plans and set school wide expectations, for example respect. Respect could be the first expectation of a SW-PBIS framework model in a district. Then a school counselor could collaborate with all staff on how to acknowledge good behavior throughout the school. At tier two a school counselor would collect data on children with behavior problems and start individual or small group intervention counseling sessions. In addition at tier two a counselor could write behavioral contracts and collaborate with special education teachers and school psychologist as needed. Finally, at tier three the tertiary level a school counselor could discuss screenings, assessments, interventions, progress monitoring, data collection and educational placement of students with teachers.

An Adlerian school counselor can use the theory of individual psychology to target cognitive-learning, social and self-management skills. The researchers explain the Student Success Skill (SSS) program where counselors conjointly work with teachers helping them implement a series of progressive lessons and small group counseling activities to enhance the learning environment.

Tier III intervention is much more time consuming for the teachers and staff members that are responsible for providing this level of support. Students that need Tier III support are usually nonresponsive to Tier I and Tier II intervention or their behaviors are too severe. This level of support is much more intensive and more so examined on an individual level. It is suggested that this level of intervention be carried out in teams with collaboration from individuals that are familiar with conducting Functional Behavioral Analysis (FBA) and Behavioral Intervention Plans (BIP). First, the problem solving team or the behavior team would obtain consent from parents or caregivers.

PBIS has created several levels to help promote positive behavior within a school or individual. The primary level focuses on the schools behavior as a whole, the secondary level focuses on a group or an individual’s behavior, the tertiary level focuses on the individuals inappropriate behavior and the district level focuses on the behavior of multiple schools at once. School-wide Integrated Framework for Transformation was designed to provide academic and behavioral support for K-8 students through equity based programs. Five-evidence based domains featured on the website are administrative leadership, multi-tiered system of support, integrated educational framework, family and community engagement and inclusive policy structure and practice. Each domain provides a level of support and empowerment from educator, professionals and

Models of Positive Behavior Interventions In 2003 several public schools in Marion County, Indianan piloted a discipline model called Full Purpose Partnership (FPP) (Anderson, Houser, & Howland, 2010). The FPP model was designed to integrate system of care and wraparound principles with the techniques of positive behavioral interventions and supports. Anderson, Houser, & Howland (2010), state that over the past 25 years systems of care and wraparound have been developed specifically to serve students with the most serious long-term challenges who require sustained interventions over time from multiple child-serving systems, including child welfare, juvenile justice, mental health, and special education. Like PBIS Full Purpose Partnership (FPP)

RTI relies on early identification to support students academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs by targeting instruction interventions, at increasing levels of intensity, as soon as those needs become apparent. Progress is closely monitored to assess both the learning rate and level of performance of individual students. Collaborative Educational decisions about the intensity and duration of interventions are based on frequent monitoring of individual student response to instruction. The RTI approach can identify an at-risk child and assist a teacher in developing an educational plan based on that student’s weaknesses and strengths. (http://www.rtinetwork.org)

Within the accountability bridge counseling program evaluation model, the school counselor conducted a needs assessment and implemented guidance lessons and small-group counseling to improve the CSCP. By creating multiple needs assessment questionnaires that were given to key stakeholders at the school, the school counselor was able to provide unique services that were important to the stakeholders at the school. After an analysis of the results, the unique needs were identified within the academic, social-emotional, and career domains. Additionally, the use of observations and a review of the schools data profile supported the identified needs. Through conducting the needs assessment the counselor was able to implement and improve the effectiveness

Hi Ashli, I enjoyed reading your post about the accountability bridge model and how it fits with the American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA) guidelines. I agree with your assessment of the accountability bridge model in the context of the ASCA guidelines. As school counselors are tasked with being accountable for how the school counseling program is supporting students’ academic success, absentee rates, and behavior, school counselors must be able to show what they are doing is having a positive outcome for students (ASCA, 2012). As you discussed, the accountability bridge model supports this accountability. Further, I agree that the accountability bridge model supports collaboration among stakeholders in order to improve the counseling

Behavior modification should be used in society to shape the behavior of others because it’s easy to use and the results are immediate. For example, an employer implements a new policy for every employee who does not call in sick all year gets a bonus check December 1st. I can guarantee that more the 75% of the employees will not call in sick all year; this works as an incentive for each of the parties involved. The use of “token economy” (Wood, Wood, & Boyd, 2014, p. 163) sets standards of behavior that are clear and consistent for everyone involved; students, prisoners, patients, etc. know what is expected of them, they’re aware of the rewards, and understand the repercussions for not following protocol.
