How it fits
The Green Zone 80-90% of student population:  Students without problem behaviors.   Students who understand by being told or by watching others. Can’t serve the red zone without 80% in the green and yellow zone. Need:  Understanding of the system
The Yellow Zone 5-15% of the population.  Students at risk for problem behavior. Students need practice to get good at what they are learning in the bigger system. Need:  Small skills group instruction.
The Red Zone 1-7% of the student population. Chronic/Intense Problem Behaviors Don’t do well in groups, force the environment to respond to them. Need:  Individual instruction
Working Smarter Do less, but better Invest in clear outcomes Invest in a sure thing If effective, efficient, & relevant, commit to long term
 
PBS schools… Create a continuum of behavior supports from a  systems  perspective Focus on behavior of  adults Give priority to  academic success Establish behavioral  competence Utilize effective, efficient, and relevant data based  decision making   Teach and acknowledge  behavioral expectations  Arrange  environment  for “working smarter”
