Out of the three main components of the PBIS program, Universal Expectations, Large Group Incentives, and Individual Incentives, which one(s) do you feel is the most important to UPS?

Universal Expectations

What do you think could be done to help improve the PBIS program? How can you help in the improvement process?

I think the biggest and basic problem is inconsistent implementation. I know of classroom teachers who simply ignore PBIS--do not participate AT ALL--and it is not fair to their students. On the other hand, I know teachers who give Trojan Tickets to the whole class all the time...neither approach acknowledges students for exhibiting the Trojan Traits.

I am not convinced that elementary kids, especially the primary kids, can logically connect that today's behavior will affect their participation in an event that is weeks or even months away. Even saying that, I know they LOVE the special days such as the Hawaiian luau day.

What is your philosophy on school-wide and classroom management?

Out of over 100 factors that ensure a student's success in the classroom, the number 1 thing is that the teacher has good classroom management. I think we need training on classroom management (new and experienced teachers alike) because there is such a wide discrepancy in what teachers tolerate. Some are very strict while others let kids get away with almost anything. Also, I do not think PBIS helps us deal with the "hardcore" behavior issues, i.e. kids who are behavior problems year after year but somehow never change their behavior, taking up everyone's valuable time. I do not see PBIS as it is helping us deal with those kids.

I think additional hallway supervision, or limited hallway traffic, would help reduce hallway and bathroom incidents.

Consistency is so important...if kids get away even once with breaking a rule, it teaches them that it's worth the risk to try it again.
