The plan is coming together slowly, but I can see where it will help. After meeting with my site supervisor, he noticed that I forgot to include the RTI part of the process, which is a big part of the model. He also gave me another contact in order to collect information from someone who has been at a school that had the program in action. If anyone has any issue, concern, or suggestions, then it will be greatly appreciated.
Action Research
|
||||
Goal: I plan to use positive reinforcement to
motivate
student behavior.

Action Steps(s):
|
Person(s) Responsible:
|
Timeline: Start/End
|
Needed Resources
|
Evaluation
|
Research some schools that use PBIS in their
schools, in order to find out what kind of things work.
Research can be done through the internet, phone
interviews, journals, and face to face
interviews
|
Principal, counselor,
instructional coordinator and
grade level leaders. I will represent
the fifth grade and assist the principal
|
Now-July 31st
|
Internet, phones,
journals, face to face interviews
|
Did everyone bring some
type of information with them?
|
Meet with the discipline committee to review the
findings. We will then create a PBIS
plan that is modified to fit our campus using the findings along with
suggestions throughout the campus
|
Principal, counselor,
grade level leaders
|
July 31-August 20th
|
Findings from the research
|
Did we come up with a plan
that meets all needs across the grade levels? We will take a vote.
|
Have and teach a staff development on the new plan
for behavior that our committee has adapted and created for the campus
|
Me
|
August 22nd
|
Computer and a
PowerPoint. We will discuss our
reasons for the changes and findings.
(journals, interviews, (deputy dog) which is the discipline referral
site.
|
Create a survey that
people will have a chance at the bottom to ask additional questions or state
concerns
|
I would evaluate the program using three methods:
1. Look and
compare the discipline referrals for each six weeks the past couple of
years. Then compare that number of referrals
to the current year referrals to see if the program is working
2. Create
two different surveys to question the program. I would create one for the students and
one for the teachers/principal.
3. Check RTI information to make sure teachers are
following the tier system involved in the process
|
1. principal and I
2. Me
3. Counselor, principal, and me
|
1. The beginning of each six weeks to the end
of the six weeks
2. I would have them do them at the end of
each semester
3. ARD’s
and end of the year
|
1. Deputy dog
2. Students and teachers/principal data from
the surveys
3. RTI folder
|
1. Data comparisons between this year and the
past couple of years. Deputy dog
would create a great way to evaluate the progress and the program.
2. Survey data
This could help us see if
we need to tweak or change some of the plan.
It would also tell us stuff to determine if the teachers are still
having the same problems, but no longer sending the students to the office
3. Was documentation
kept? Did the student get resources that they need?

Sounds like a good start. I was part of an implemention team for PBIS at a middle school in New Mexico. It was a tough transition at first and it will take several years to be fully implemented. It sounds like you have a good plan in place to do the implementation. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteTodd,
ReplyDeleteGreat job so far with your action research plan. Research into how to best motivate students through positive reinforcement is interesting and relevant. Keep it up!
