Welcome to Educational and Parenting Resources: PBIS Information and More
Announcements are the section where news and upcoming events will be listed. 2011 November 2011 We continue to implement PBIS practices at Howell Road, which is an evidence-based approach that supports positive behaviors, effective responses to behavior, social skills development, enhanced climate in school and between home and school. Dr. Weisz presented at the NY Association of School Psychologists on the topic of Using PBIS to help schools become more culturally and linguistically diverse. Visit the NYASP website for many materials and resources for parents and educators - website address: http://nyasp.org/ School Psychology News
Last week was School Psychology Awareness week. Dr. Weisz has been working with the PBIS team to help improve overall school climate, improve behavior and enhance teacher practices that promote positive social development in children. In addition, Dr. Weisz has been involved in professional activities related to advancing the goals of school psychology, to help support children, families and schools.
In October, Dr. Weisz presented at the annual NY Association for School Psychologist's conference about research and suggestions for using Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports to help schools be more response to culturally and linguistically diverse students. He reviewed the importance of school communities to focus on diversity and to improve interactions between home and school. He talked about the use of PBIS and other best practices at Howell Road and was very well received. He will also present on the same topic this spring at the National Association of School Psychologists.
Dr. Weisz is updating his webpage which can be found on the District website, under Howell Road School, Staff List and then his name.
This website describes the use of PBIS at Howell Road School to improve school climate, teach behavior and support children at various levels of needs. The program works with reinforcement from staff, parents and fellow students.
He also has parent and teacher resources on other relevant subjects on this site, as well.

We are kicking off our school-wide positive behavior and supports program with an assembly. We will teach the importance of everyone knowing our expectations and following them in all settings of the school. The four expectations of safety, respect, responsibility and caring help make Howell a wonderful place to learn.
June 4, 2010 Howell Road PBIS Website
The Howell Road PBIS Website is part of a school-wide, evidence-based, program that improves school systems and student functioning. The basis of PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) is to follow a logical problem-solving model using data to drive decisions, including a wide range of viewpoints and input, yet always using those approaches that have been tested and shown to be effective at improving school climate, reducing problem behaviors and improving positive behaviors.
The PBIS team has been meeting for 7 years to improve positive expectations and behaviors school-wide.
We have incorporated the ideas and talents of classroom teachers, parents, students, various special area and non-teaching staff members, administrators and representatives from other interested parties, representing State Education, Board of Cooperative Education Services, and University based researchers and Parent Advocacy.
We welcome all input. If you are interested in learning more, please contact the PBIS team (Mr. Huplosky, Dr. Weisz, Mr. Olsen or Ms. Barnick (PBIS Website Designers).
