This book was released on 2021 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student behavior is an important topic that educators must contend with in the current educational climate. Due to changing laws and movement away from zero tolerance policies, schools have had to adapt to manage student misbehavior differently. Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a common framework that has been adopted to help create positive behavior change on school campuses when implemented with fidelity; however, teacher perception is important for implementation fidelity of PBIS. There were two purposes to this study. The first purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative study was to examine the difference between teacher perception of PBIS and teacher perception of classroom control with implementation fidelity of PBIS at schools scoring low, moderate, and high for fidelity of implementation in order to better inform stakeholders about effective ways to ensure reduced discipline, thus increased school safety, and a positive school culture, on a middle school campus. The second purpose of the study was correlational and examined whether there was a relationship between teacher perception of PBIS and teacher perception of classroom control. The study used a causal-comparative research design as well as a correlational research design to address the two research questions. Middle school teachers at schools scored low, moderate, and high for implementation fidelity of PBIS were surveyed at the end of the 2021 school year. There were no significant differences in teacher perception of PBIS and teacher perception of classroom control at schools scoring low, moderate, and high for implementation fidelity, but there was a significant relationship between teacher perception of PBIS and teacher perception of classroom control.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a rise of behavioral concerns in the classroom, education systems have turned to positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) to reinforce positive behaviors. The purpose of this quantitative predictive correlational study was to examine the relationship between the fidelity of PBIS implementation, teacher perceived effectiveness of the programs, and time spent implementing the program. The theoretical framework for this study came from the applied behavior analysis theory. The researcher used a quantitative predictive correlational design to examine the relationship between the fidelity of implementation of PBIS programs, teacher perception of effectiveness of the PBIS framework, and time spent implementing PBIS. The study sample was taken from a population of approximately 600 elementary, middle, and high school teachers in a rural school district in East Tennessee during the 2020-2021 school year. The Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) and the Teacher Perceptions of Positive Behavior Intervention Support Survey (Thornton, 2012) were used to measure implementation fidelity of PBIS programs and teacher perception of PBIS programs, respectively. The assumption of linearity and the assumption of bivariate normal distribution were tested using a scatterplot. A bivariate linear regression was used to examine the relationship between implementation fidelity of PBIS programs and teacher perceptions of program effectiveness, and another was used to examine the relationship between time spent implementing PBIS and teacher perceptions of program effectiveness. The study revealed a significant predictive relationship between implementation fidelity of PBIS programs and teacher perceptions of the programs.

Arndts and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schoolwide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) is a tiered program that provides three levels of behavior and social-emotional support for students. Tier one is for all students, tier two is for some students in need of targeted or some additional intervention, while tier three is for few students who need the most intensive support (Center on PBIS, 2023b; Lewis et al., 2017; Simonsen et al., 2008; Sugai & Horner, 2002). Schools have increasingly implemented Schoolwide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS), but research suggests that few high schools have implemented SWPBIS when compared with elementary and middle schools (Feuerborn et al., 2015; Flannery et al., 2013). High schools have varying contextual factors that differ from elementary and middle schools, presenting distinctive challenges with the implementation process and fidelity of SWPBIS. This qualitative phenomenological study explores secondary teachers’ perceptions of the school-wide and class-wide implementation process of SWPBIS at the high school level and its impact on students with disabilities and other health impairments. Additionally, this study examines secondary teachers’ perceptions of effective discipline strategies and their perception regarding out-of-school suspensions. Findings suggest that inequitable practices of the SWPBIS may likely stem from personal beliefs and philosophy of SWPBIS, teacher autonomy in the classroom, lack of time and inconsistent implementation, and buy-in.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess teacher perceptions in implementing a Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) plan in an elementary school. The study was mainly quantitative, using surveys, personal interviews, and observations to measure teacher perceptions. The study focused on the common areas. The rules, procedures, and behavior matrix were developed with input from the staff. The surveys were administered, retrieved, and analyzed electronically using Google forms and an Excel Spreadsheet. Interviews were arranged to encourage dialogue and get a greater understanding of their perceptions of the PBIS process. Observations were conducted using "compliment chains". The results of the findings were shared with the faculty, and used in developing a future classroom PBIS model.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study is to examine the relationship between staff perceptions of behavior and discipline and the implementation of positive behavior interventions and support (PBIS). Despite studies that have found PBIS to be effective, research is needed to understand teachers' perceptions of behavior and discipline in order to identify the needs and concerns of school staff. Identifying such needs and concerns may lead to improved implementation of PBIS. For this study, 292 teachers and other certified staff from a public school district were asked to complete a survey that addresses the perceptions, beliefs, and needs of school staff in regard to behavior, discipline, and the implementation of PBIS. The integrity of implementation was also measured in order to examine the relationship between implementation and staff perceptions. No strong relationship was found between implementation integrity and staff perceptions. There were no significant differences in perceptions between novice and experienced teachers. For school level, significant differences were found between elementary and secondary school staff. Implications of the findings for research and practiced are discussed.

Download or read book Handbook of Positive Behavior Support written by Wayne Sailor and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolution in working with difficult students began during the 1980s, with a dramatic shift away from dependence on simply punishing bad behavior to reinforcing desired, positive behaviors of children in the classroom. With its foundation in applied behavior analysis (ABA), positive behavior support (PBS) is a social ecology approach that continues to play an increasingly integral role in public education as well as mental health and social services nationwide. The Handbook of Positive Behavior Support gathers into one concise volume the many elements of this burgeoning field and organizes them into a powerful, dynamic knowledge base – theory, research, and applications. Within its chapters, leading experts, including the primary developers and researchers of PBS: (1) Review the origins, history, and ethical foundations of positive behavior support. (2) Report on applications of PBS in early childhood and family contexts, from Head Start to foster care to mental health settings to autism treatment programs. (3) Examine school-based PBS used to benefit all students regardless of ability or conduct. (4) Relate schoolwide PBS to wraparound mental health services and the RTI (response to intervention) movement. (5) Provide data and discussion on a variety of topics salient to PBS, including parenting issues, personnel training, high school use, poorly functioning schools, and more. This volume is an essential resource for school-based practitioners as well as clinicians and researchers in clinical child, school, and educational psychology.

Download or read book Teachers Perceptions of Challenges to Implementing Positive Behavior Support Plans in Schools written by Louis M. Chance and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of teachers regarding challenges to implementing positive behavior support plans in schools and ways that administrators can better support teachers with behavior interventions. Forty-two regular education teachers and 16 special education teachers from a suburban school district in Pennsylvania completed surveys containing both Likert scale and open-ended questions. Additionally, 4 regular education teachers and 5 special education teachers took part in structured interviews which further explored teacher perspectives. Results indicated that regular education teachers view a shortage of time and a lack of adequate training as the 2 primary challenges to behavior plan implementation. Staff resistance and inconsistent expectations around behavior planning were also cited as associated barriers. Regular education teachers suggested that administrators could support teachers by providing time for teacher collaboration about student behavior, scheduling regular staff development opportunities related to positive behavior support, and communicating clear expectations concerning behavior intervention delivery. Special education teachers also identified time, teacher resistance, and staff development as primary challenges, while adding that a lack of resources for behavior planning also presents difficulties. They believed that administrators could better support by not only providing time and training, but also through increased direct involvement in behavior planning teams and more active advocacy for the importance of positive behavior support plans.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant concern among administrators, teachers, and parents is disruptive student behavior. Educational researchers have found that traditional discipline policies such as suspension, expulsion, and other Zero Tolerance practices have failed to reduce disruptive behaviors in students. Furthermore, traditional discipline policies have been shown to discriminate against students of color and those with disabilities. This study investigated teachers’ perceptions of alternative discipline policies, specifically Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Participants were interviewed individually using questions developed by the researcher regarding experiences and perceptions of PBIS. Common themes identified from responses were the need for ongoing professional development, the need to develop interventions for high-risk students who are not responding to primary interventions, and the need to establish data collection protocols to evaluate the effectiveness of PBIS implementation, which was regarded as a limitation in the current implementation of PBIS.

Download or read book The Relationship of the Implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports to Improve Academic Achievement written by Brenda Tracy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation for PBiS and its practices is that academic achievement and social behaviors are connected. It becomes difficult for students to learn when the student is spending more time in discipline-related interactions than in those related to learning academic content. School administrators and teachers have become increasingly frustrated with the impact of poor student behavior on academic achievement in their schools. The situation leads to the public perception that student behavior is out of control. Isolated situations of violence (e.g., school shootings) contribute to the perception. Teachers continually struggle to master classroom management strategies that are proactive, preventative in nature, and lead to improved student achievement.

Download or read book Teacher Perceptions on the Effects of the Implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports in Early Elementary Settings written by Lori A. Bauerline and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the perceptions of elementary teachers on the impact of an established school-wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support system (PBIS) on students as they progress through the elementary grades. Specifically, this study focused on elementary teacher perceptions of the effect of PBIS on students who exhibited challenging behaviors, the effect of the PBIS on the schoolwide learning environment, and the teacher perceptions of their preparedness to implement the PBIS system. The researcher studied the data compiled from the responses of 30 kindergarten through second grade teacher participants from three school districts in south central Pennsylvania. The participants volunteered to complete a researcher created online survey that was comprised of Likert-scale survey statements and openended response questions. The researcher invited respondents to participate in individual interviews conducted by the researcher. Six respondents participated in the interviews which enabled the researcher to elicit additional information. The findings of this study affirmed that overall, teachers perceived that the implementation of the PBIS system was effective in addressing student challenging behavior. The data compiled from the responses demonstrated that the teachers perceived that the implementation of the system had a positive effect on the school-wide learning environment. The findings also revealed the perception of an increased need for professional development, time, and funding to assist with teacher preparedness to implement the established system. These findings confirmed previous research and supported the need for future research on the effectiveness of the implementation of a PBIS system.

Download or read book Teachers Perceptions of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports Strategies Used in a Suburban Elementary School written by Shelley C. Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers are committed to student success and academic achievement, including those students with behavioral issues. Teachers are often faced with student misbehaviors and classroom disruptions. The ability to engage all students in active learning in a classroom constitutes effective attentional processes and instructional practices. In this context, states, districts, and school administrators have recognized the need for transformational strategies and support to aid effective classroom teaching. A school-wide system approach to address student responsiveness and positive expected outcomes are discussed. To better understand the implementation of support strategies from teacher responsiveness to student behavior in the classroom, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 elementary teachers to determine the perceptions of student behavior. A 10-question semi-structured interview questionnaire was conducted using six steps of Braun's and Clarke's thematic coding. This study describes the teachers' perspectives and approaches to behavior management and intervention strategies, including implementation of classroom management and knowledge about Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Findings indicated that teachers recognized the (PBIS) framework as beneficial but selective; more training was needed after implementation, and parental support was necessary for the development of prosocial behaviors. Additionally, themes supporting the findings included that the (PBIS) framework was advantageous for some students but not all when implemented properly. The research suggests more training in dealing with cyberbullying and positive social change would be a foundational start for the proposed future strategies of the (PBIS) framework.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: School systems have become increasingly more focused on student behaviors, mental health, and school climate in an effort to help the whole child. Problem behaviors interrupt and waste instructional time. Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) has proven to be a successful framework that focuses on improving the school culture and the needs of the whole child. PBIS implementation is essential with buy-in and satisfaction from all stake holders within a district, but most importantly, the teachers, The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived impact that a PBIS motivation and implementation intervention would have on teacher beliefs and behaviors regarding the implementation of PBIS. Furthermore, this study sought to identify (a) teachers' perceptions regarding various aspects of PBIS and if it changed over time and in connection with a PBIS motivation and implementation intervention and (b) if relationships existed between variables. Results of this study conclude that teacher buy-in and satisfaction with PBIS is integral to the successful implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each day students throughout the world are exposed to bullying in many different ways and on many different occasions. Bullying has received such a great amount of attention through the media, that it leaves parents and community members with the belief that bullying has become a bigger problem today than it ever has before (Austin, Reynolds, & Barnes, 2012; Carrera, DePalma, & Lameiras, 2011; Packman, Lepkowski, Overton, & Smaby, 2005; Rigby & Smith, 2011). Nearly every state in the nation has passed laws regarding bullying and increasing the responsibility of schools and districts to implement programs to prevent and/or address bullying on their campuses (U.S. Department of Education, 2011). Many schools and districts have not only developed policies to place them in compliance with the passed legislation, but they have begun to implement programs, such as School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS), as a method to help improve the overall school environment (Pugh & Chitiyo, 2012; Reinke, Herman, & Stormont, 2012; Simonsen & Sugai, 2013). While it has shown to help improve the overall school climate, researchers suggest that this may also be utilized to reduce the presence of bullying in schools (Good, McIntosh, & Gietz, 2011; Packman et al., 2005; Pugh & Chitiyo, 2012). This study examined the perceptions of middle school teachers concerning the use of SWPBIS in their schools, along with their perceptions of its effectiveness at reducing the presence of negative student behaviors, such as bullying. Research was conducted using quantitative data to determine teacher perceptions of the questions being presented in this study. While the outcomes to nearly all of the research questions reported very little significance, these results showed that teachers' perceived that SWPBIS is effective at reducing the presence of negative student behaviors within the school when it has been implemented with fidelity. --Page ii.

Download or read book The Effects of Positive Behavior Intervention Supports and Tier II Interventions on Academic Achievement Among Elementary Students written by Geoffrey Dean Reno and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This correlational research study examined the effect of behavioral interventions through school-wide positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) on elementary student reading and math achievement in one Midwestern suburban elementary school among 71 students in grades first through fifth participating in PBIS Tier II interventions compared to 71 peers not participating in the intervention. Additionally, this study analyzed teacher perceptions of PBIS implementation and experiences with students participating in the Tier II behavior interventions. The research contributes to the literature by examining the effects of individualized interventions on academic achievement for students. The PBIS Tier II intervention of Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) was implemented by the school for students unable to consistently meet school-wide behavior expectations. Data from the Renaissance Learning STAR Reading and Math assessments and progress monitoring of student behaviors were gathered and analyzed. A teacher survey was distributed to building staff members to understand their perceptions of PBIS Tier II interventions and their experiences with students participating with the intervention. A Pearson correlation and two-sample t-test were used to analyze the possible relationship between the student participation in the PBIS Tier II behavior interventions and their reading and math academic achievement according to the students' scaled score gains on the STAR Reading and Math assessments. Through this study, no statistically significant differences were found between student participation in PBIS Tier II behavior interventions and academic achievement in reading and math. Consequently, these findings are discussed in terms of assisting schools implementing PBIS Tier II interventions to address reading and math academic challenges.
