Resource: Adapting PBIS Practices for Rural Settings: Remote Instruction Strategy Matrixwww.pbis.org/resource/adapting-pbis-practices-for-rural-settings-remote-instruction-strategy-matrix
PDF: Rural education settings often have accessibility strengths and weaknesses that can make virtual instruction challenging. A range of resources are needed that can be tailored in intensity to meet various student needs (social, emotional, behavioral well-being, academic engagement) adapted to different types of technology. The Remote Instruction Strategy Matrix with corresponding resources provides educators with a continuum of learning support strategies that can be followed by adaptations for implementation based on available technology.

Resource: Using PBIS to Ensure Racial Equity in School Disciplinewww.pbis.org/resource/using-pbis-to-ensure-racial-equity-in-school-discipline
PDF: Schools across the U.S. are implementing PBIS in efforts to reduce racial disproportionality in school discipline, and overall, research shows that schools implementing PBIS with fidelity have more equitable school discipline. Yet eliminating disparities through standard PBIS implementation, without attention to the sociocultural context and systems that perpetuate inequities, is unlikely to produce desired outcomes. The presenters will share specific strategies and free Center resources for increasing equity in PBIS systems.

It’s also one of the critical elements for implementation of Tier 1 PBIS included in the TFI, BoQ, and the Blueprint. This brief describes the unique features of high school settings that can make building buy-in more difficult and identifies strategies that have been successful for securing staff buy-in in high schools.

Resource: When to use Functional Behavioral Assessment? A State-by-State Analysis of the Lawwww.pbis.org/resource/when-to-use-functional-behavioral-assessment-a-state-by-state-analysis-of-the-law
PDF: To provide students with disabilities and their families the best educational experience, the use of the functional behavioral assessment should be a viable option when challenging behaviors are interfering with learning opportunities. As the technology of FBA continues to improve through systematic research, educators should not default to the legal requirements, which may, as we have outlined here, leave considerable gaps. States should strive to close those gaps by, at a minimum, including reference to FBA in provisions on evaluation, re-evaluation, IEP development and restraint and seclusion.

PDF: This paper serves as a summary document from the Mental Health presentation strand and Roundtable Discussion for the Interconnected Systems Framework that took place at the 2016 Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports Leadership Forum in Rosemont, Illinois. It was developed based on input and discussion from presenters and participants at both the sessions and RDQ session. Its purpose is to share strategies to effectively implement ISF by outlining its rationale, procedures for implementation, a site implementation example, frequently asked questions about ISF, and additional resources. The authors aim to provide practitioners, leaders, and policy makers with a useful guide to implement the ISF, so as to best provide mental health services to children, families, and community members.

Center on PBIS | Why Implement PBIS?www.pbis.org/pbis/why-implement-pbis
PBIS is so much more than rewards and tokens. It is a framework for creating safe, positive, equitable schools where everyone feels successful and seen. By implementing evidence-based practices within a PBIS framework, schools support their students’ academic, social, and behavioral success, engage with families to create locally-meaningful and culturally-relevant outcomes, and use data to make informed decisions that improve the way things work for everyone. Why should you implement PBIS? Because it is good for kids and makes schools better. We know this because research shows it does, time and time again.
