Without strong-shared leadership, implementation of PBIS will fail. The establishment of a PBIS Leadership team (often known as a Tier 1 team) is so important that it is the first feature on the Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI).
"Staff members who serve on the PBIS Leadership Team will have the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the school climate. Assigned to provide leadership, this team is not to assume sole responsibility for developing a school action plan. Instead, they will thoughtfully involve the entire staff in rethinking their beliefs about student behavior, reviewing existing procedures, and developing more effective practices and policies.
When everyone has a hand in developing schoolwide discipline procedures, ownership is increased, consensus is more readily obtained, and the likelihood staff will consistently implement procedures is increased.
As you undertake your social behavioral school improvement effort you may uncover potential challenges that could impact your progress. Examples of this could be a current lack of cohesiveness among staff; lack of experience in knowing how to work together, weak communication between different grade levels or departments, and disconnects between administrators and staff. As challenges arise, it is even more important to have strong leadership that involves the entire staff in the process." (Tier 1 Workbook)
The team’s composition, responsibilities, and productivity will all impact the implementation of PBIS. Therefore, it is essential to correctly establish PBiS Leadership/Tier 1 team with school-wide representation to have the proper experience and expertise to insure effectiveness.
