SISWEB Demo

 Affirm Administrative support  Data analyst/specialist on team  Office Discipline Referral form is aligned with SISWEB  Best practice—few people designated to enter data  If teachers are entering data, training is essential  Data should be current (daily/weekly)  Request SISWEB Reports access for data analyst/specialist

SYSTEMS PRACTICES DATA Supporting Staff Behavior Supporting Student Behavior OUTCOMES Social Competence & Academic Achievement Supporting Decision Making

YOU WANT: Informed decisions regarding PBIS YOU NEED: An effective data system which provides… data about individual students AND compiled school discipline data

Easy data summary & recall Capacity to easily ‘drill down’ the data to answer questions Easy data entry Graphic display for easier data analysis & decision making Capacity for school & individual student decision making Data Systems: Critical Elements

Using Data for Decision Making Data?! What data? Data?! What data? Are you NOT seeing what I’m NOT seeing? Are you NOT seeing what I’m NOT seeing? The “Best Data System in the World” won’t make a difference if no one is looking at the data!

The PBIS Team commits to review data at least monthly and uses the data to inform decision making to maximize resources and results

Are we doing what we said we would do? Fidelity Data: PBIS Assessments Is what we are doing making a difference for students? Student Data: School Data System

 What data are we using for decision making?  Are we using our data effectively?  Are we getting the most out of the data we’re collecting?  How often is this data shared with the entire staff?  What are challenges/barriers to using data?

What forms to complete? When? For which behaviors? Is there a minor referral? Or only major? Suspension/ Detention? What is the follow- up? What happens to the discipline referral form? With student? With parent? With referring staff?

Who? When? Where? What? Why? With whom? Response? Details

 Are you getting the most information from your referral forms?  Could you update your referral form to provide you with more useful data?  Would you gain more information if you put in place a minor referral process, in addition to major referrals?

 A list of EGUSD Referral Form Definitions is provided  Minor Problem Behaviors (defined)  Major Problem Behaviors (defined)  Locations (defined)  Perceived Motivations (defined)

Worksheet 17

 Review your current Office Referral Form and revise, if necessary, to include the essential elements  Review the EGUSD Referral Form Definitions and make sure to include the most frequently documented behaviors on your form.  Review PBIS Tab Event Entry required fields and align form.  Discuss how you will train your staff on the referral form.

Changing the Social Culture: A shift is needed in our responses GOAL of PBIS: A unified staff that responds consistently, predictably & effectively to student problem behavior Create a peer culture that encourages positive behavior

Why?Must… With instruction of the desired behavior Pair use of negative consequences But only in ways that maintain the dignity, safety & respect of the student Effective for many students Responding to Problem Behavior We will still use negative consequences in schools…

Discipline: Discipline: Derived from disciple, meaning “to teach” Logical Consequences: Actions taken by the parent or person in authority that are related to the behavior. (Trash left in cafeteria = Student cleans cafeteria area) Natural Consequences: Action that occurs as a result of an initial action. (If you put your finger in an electric socket = You will get a shock)

Discipline Assumption: Delivering negative consequences for problem behavior necessary but insufficient Focus on the remediation & instruction of alternative, desired behavior Problem behavior should be seen as an instructional opportunity for social behavior

A thought to ponder… So often, children are punished for being human. Children are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes, yet we as adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect, and we must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves. What are your thoughts? Agree? Disagree? Comments?

Minors Majors

 Develop alternatives to punishment & exclusion (detention/suspension/expulsion)  Good to focus on re-teaching of expectations  Kids go to “Rule School”  Peer Conflict Mediation  On Campus Intervention Class

Promote Corrective Responses to Misbehavior Reteach expected behavior Overcorrection  Practice appropriate behavior 2-3 times Logical & natural equitable consequences  Missed instructional time made up at lunch or after school  Lose related privileges

Developing a Progression of Consequences Example: Minor Behaviors  1 st offense: Warning  2 nd offense: Re-teaching  3 rd offense: Minor Referral & Action  Repeated Minors: When does it become a Major? Major Behaviors  Office Referral & Action  How will we follow up with staff?

When negative consequences are not effective… we need a new approach How many days of detention, suspension, missed classes before we realize this is not a successful intervention for changing behavior? Often student problem behavior is helping students to get exactly what they want: o Avoid difficult tasks o Obtain attention from peers or adult

Students with recurring behavior who do not seem to be responding to traditional consequences Students x ID #

 Examine the current use of consequences for problem behavior.  What changes can you make to minimize loss of instructional time AND increase instructional responses to problem behavior?  How can you support students if recurring use of standard consequences are not changing behavior?

 Review Tier 1 Action Plan and prioritize items yet to be completed.  Inform staff of Day 4 PBIS information:  Importance of data for effective decision making  Appropriate interventions for problem behavior  SISWEB PBIS Tab  Importance of clean data and consistency  Office Discipline Referral Form and Process Tasks to be completed
