equal importance to PBIS as a whole, will be secondary to implementing the cycle. Below we will explain

how we will implement each part of the cycle at Virgen del Carmen.

*note: for our purposes, “reinforce” should

appear after

“monitor” in the PBIS cycle graphic to the

left. We added “reinforce” as its own

section specifically because the Virgen del

Carmen staff has little experience with

reinforcement.

Establish: For this portion of the cycle, we will be working with teachers and administration to set the

expectations of each classroom. In order to simplify things, we will create the expectations first (to model

what expectations would look like in a PBIS context) and then share them with the teachers for their input.

We also will keep it open to student input as well.

Teach: We will be explicitly teaching behaviors to students as part of the PBIS system, much like one would

teach academics. We will do the first lesson to model for the teachers, and we will communicate to the

teachers that other lessons on behavior would best be taught by them (since we are only there twice a week).

Prompt: Prompting students to exhibit positive behaviors before behaviors occur (i.e., prompting how to

behave in line before getting in line, prompting how to actively listen before teaching a lesson) will be a joint

effort between us and the classroom teachers. We anticipate that it will be mostly our responsibility in the

beginning weeks so that teachers are able to see the techniques and timing to adopt into their own practice

later on.
