Phase I: Getting Ready:
Establish a Leadership Team
Page 1 of 2
B. Step One
School-wide leadership teams are needed to guide the implementation of
school-wide PBIS. This team should be composed of folks who are respected
by their colleagues, representative of their school, collectively have
behavioral competence, have a regular and efficient means of communicating
with the school staff as a whole, and are endorsed actively and vigorously
by their Principal. Principals must be members of this team because they
have unique leadership capacities and decision-making authority. Parents
are also recommended to serve as team members because they can provide
a voice and link to the school for families and community members.

Activity B1: Here are a few questions to ponder of
your PBIS Leadership Team.
The Team…
|
Yes or No?
|
Has broad representation? |
|
Has administrative support? |
|
Has regular meetings?
(at least monthly) |
|
Established a clear mission/purpose? |
|
Has efficient internal process?
(agenda, minutes) |
|
Has culture of care? |
|
Schools should not “add” this team to their administrative
organization without first assessing what team or committee structures
already exist. Look at the leadership teams already in place. Examine
their purpose statements, target groups, measurable outcomes/process indicators,
memberships and relationships with school improvement goals and objectives.
Is there any overlap? Whenever possible, the number of committees and
team should be minimized to avoid redundancies and inefficiencies, and
a single school-wide leadership role should be established regarding all
behavior related initiatives, action, and decisions.
Activity B2: Complete the Committee/Workgroup review
sheet to identify possible groups that may be redundant and to establish
the current level of functioning among existing workgroups
Once you have identified your PBIS Leadership Team and assured a streamlined
approach by assessing current workgroups, you are ready to begin the PBIS
Team Process. Remember, your Team and school is in it for the long haul.
Every PBIS Team is asked to make a 3-5 year commitment to this process.
Change takes time. We did not get “here” overnight and will
not leave “here” overnight.
