System for addressing misbehaviors
System for Addressing Misbehavior
PBIS schools have a system in place for addressing misbehavior. Having a school-wide system provides accurate monitoring of behavior and consistent interventions for behaviors of concern.
At Cleveland, the following strategies have been implemented to address problem behavior:
- Reteaching
- Behavior Notices (ODRs) for minor and major problem behavior
- Tier 2 interventions
Reteaching
Reteaching students appropropriate behaviors is an efficient and effective way of encouraging positive behaviors. Immediate reteaching requires a staff member to interrupt the undesirable behavior, define and model the replacement behavior, and have the student practice it. After a student models the appropriate behavior, positive reinforcement increases the chance of the appropriate behavior continuing.
Behavior Notice Process
Behavior Notices monitor major and minor problem behaviors and provide data that determines entrance into interventions.

Minor problem behavior are teacher-managed behaviors. This means that the teacher intervenes by using the following process:
- Find a place to talk with the student(s) involved
- Help student(s) problem solve
- Complete a Behavior Notice form
- Send the white copy of the behavior notice form to parents and the pink copy to the school counselor so that data can be entered into Skyward. Teachers keep the yellow copy for their records.
- When the student displays the appropriate behavior, the teacher provides high frequency reinforcement
- Helps student(s) problem solve
- Determines appropriate consequences
- Completes the Behavior Notice including the action taken and the follow-up agreement
- Contact parent(s)/guardian(s) and shares the referral information with them
- Sends the white copy of the referral form to the parents, gives the yellow copy to the classroom teacher, and keeps the pink copy so that data can be entered into Skyward.
- Follows through with the consequence(s)
- Provides high frequency reinforcement when the student displays appropriate behavior
