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.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to analyze the perception of kindergarten-fifth grade elementary teachers on the implementation of Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) in relation to: student behavior, time, and professional development. The study included findings that answered five research questions and two null hypotheses. The two main research questions that drove the study were: Do teachers see a need for more PBIS professional development? and Do teachers feel that time is an issue during the implementation of PBIS? The two null hypotheses that drove the study were: "there is no significant correlation between professional development needs of teachers and the number of PBIS implementation years and "there is no significant correlation between the decrease in student behavioral issues and the number of PBIS implementation years." The study was conducted using a non-experimental survey distributed through Survey Monkey. The findings were analyzed through Microsoft Excel and A Statistical Program (ASP) software. Findings indicated that there was a correlation between professional development needs and the number of PBIS implementation years, but there was not a correlation found between the decrease in students' behavioral issues and the number of PBIS implementation years. Findings, also indicated that time was not an issue with the implementation of PBIS."

Download or read book Implementation Fidelity of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports and Teacher Perception of PBIS and Classroom Control written by Alicia Tuttle and published by . 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.

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 Students Perception on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports written by Catarina Lara and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classroom management strategies vary from classroom to classroom. Teachers decide which classroom management strategies work best for their students. While it is up to the teacher, there is controversy on whether punitive measures are the most effective practices. With the different research that has been conducted on punitive measures, more schools are leaning towards positive intervention programs. This case study explores the perception of students who experienced a program known as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), in a middle school setting. A total of 16 students were interviewed in focus groups of four, in order to better improve the practices and strategies when implementing PBIS. The data demonstrated that behavioral choices made by their peers affect the way students feel in their environment in a negative way. Students also made it clear that they feel over looked by their teachers when their peers are making poor behavioral choices. Teachers need to listen to their students and make sure that they focus and recognize positive behavior, so students know which behavior is preferred.

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 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.

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 2020 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of studies of Positive Behavior Intervention Systems (PBIS) in educational settings. The researcher used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) to conduct the review. Studies were reviewed and analyzed for common themes related to the effects of PBIS on student discipline, student engagement, and teacher perceptions. The systematic review of PBIS implementation in K-12 school settings revealed PBIS decreased student behavior incidences, increased student engagement, and teachers had positive perceptions of PBIS. The review also revealed PBIS contributed to positive classroom cultures, increased student confidence, and increased academic progress for students. Implications can be used by schools to select positive behavior management programs for students.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: In today’s educational system, an important concern is student behavior. Problem behaviors can affect students’ academic learning as well as teachers’ instructional time. Many programs and approaches are available to improve student behavior in schools. One school-wide program known as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is designed to help schools create and sustain effective behavioral supports for students. PBIS is a national framework schools can use to help them design and implement behavioral practices for students. It involves all the faculty, staff, and students in a school system. Teachers are important stakeholders in implementing PBIS. If they do not fully support or “buy in” to the program, its effectiveness will be significantly compromised. The purpose of this study was to examine teachers’ satisfaction level and perceptions of PBIS in a school district in the southeast USA. Teachers at a primary and an elementary school were surveyed and interviewed in order to determine their opinions of PBIS. The survey and interview data indicated that teachers in this school system were satisfied with PBIS. Results of this study could benefit administrators in this school district as they evaluate the effectiveness of PBIS and plan to implement further interventions or programs.

Download or read book The Influence of Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports PBIS on School Climate written by Steven Bebee and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many schools have used school wide behavior management programs such as Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) effectively as a behavior management system to improve student classroom behavior issues. The purpose of this qualitative interpretive study was to explore how PBIS influence high school teachers0́9 perceptions on school climate within a participant school located in Southern Arizona. Through naturalistic inquiry using face-to-face semi structured interviews, seven teachers who have taught on the participant high school campus for four to six years were able to share their personal perceptions regarding PBIS and its influence on their school climate. The data collected for this study included a PBIS teacher questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and three years of longitudinal student referral data to examine teacher perceptions of school climates and if the school wide behavior programs they implement has had any influence. This study identified possible limitations and advantages of PBIS on student behavior and determined whether perception from the study teachers differed from the general teaching staff regarding the influence PBIS has on school climate perceptions. The findings and conclusions of the study demonstrate that a relationship does indeed exist between having a successful behavior managements system in place such as PBIS and teachers0́9 feelings about their school climate. Themes were developed and identified that may help administrators understand the relationships that may exist.
