Is This Scenario Familiar to You?
At 10:00 every morning, a 5th grade teacher is sending the same student down to the office because she has reached her wits end. He is calling out and making rude comments to his classmates.As an administrator, what could you do that would be supportive to both the teacher, the student, and the school?
Talk to your neighbor.Slide7

Our Solutions…
PLAN A:PLAN B: PLAN C:PLAN D: Divine intervention
Get rid of the bad applesA professional development day
Take a systems-level approach to student (and adult) behaviorSlide9
The administrator has the big picture in mindSlide10
In keeping with the new state initiative, this fall we will be implementing an exciting new district initiative of SNI in place of LYI. All Professional Development days previously scheduled for LYI will be rescheduled as staff development for SNI. The $500 for release time and materials for LYI will be discontinued and provided instead for SNI. By the way, you will need to create local SNI teams that meet weekly. The former members of your LYI team would be perfect for this new team. Your new SNI binders will be coming next week. Have a great year!!!

What is Sustainability?
Durable implementation of a practice at a level of fidelity that continues to produce valued outcomes (McIntosh et al., 2009)Slide13
One of the strongest predictors of SWPBIS sustainability is administrator support (Coffey & Horner, 2012)
Perceived administrative support has the strongest impact on sustainability (McIntosh, Predy, et al., in press)Sustainability is supported by administrators who allocate resources (e.g., time, incentives, training), communicate expectations, and address competing practices that may decrease resources (Blase & Fixsen, 2004)
