Drawn for this page. A practice moves from a training session into a classroom when someone watches it and talks it over.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with a group code and the date.
  2. Enter the group size and how many finished the latest session.
  3. Mark each practice: not yet, trained, or practiced with feedback.
  4. Plan the next session from the summary, with a classroom observation for each trained practice.
  5. Copy the record to the next date and update it.

How the record reads

Why feedback

Staff who only attend a session use a new practice far less often than staff who are also observed and given specific feedback in their own classroom. The organizer treats a practice as in place only after that step.

The eight practices

They follow the classroom practices the Center on PBIS describes: expectations and routines taught, specific praise and acknowledgment, active supervision, precorrection, many chances to respond and brief, calm error correction.

What this is not

A fidelity measure for schoolwide PBIS or a staff evaluation. It tracks one group’s training.
