Computer Applications for Monitoring Student Outcomes: Behavior Rob Horner University of Oregon

Goals Define dual function of monitoring systems o Assist schools and community personnel in effective decision-making o Provide the data summaries needed for assessing student outcomes. Propose features of a multi-tiered system for monitoring student behavior. Describe features of SWIS Suite as one example

Dual Function Collecting and Using Data for Evaluation Collecting and Using Data for Problem Solving

Features of a Functional Decision System Multiple Tiers: Three Tiers----Three levels of Data Precision o Intensity of data system matches intensity of intervention support. Useful for Problem Solving o Universal Screening, Progress Monitoring o Problem Identification o Problem Solving Useful for District, State, Federal Reporting Can be Integrated: with Educational SIS; Community and Justice databases. Efficient: Requires less than 35 sec to enter an Office Discipline Referral Use A Common Set of Behavioral Categories that are Operational, Mutually Exclusive, and Exhaustive

Measures of Student Behavior Measures for All Students Measures for Some Students Measures for a Few Students

Tier I School-wide ODR Patterns

The Basics How often, Who, What, When, Where

The Basics for Decision - Making How often, Who, What, When, Where

Why? Disruption in Cafeteria Disruption in Classroom Obtain Peer Attention Avoid Tasks

Additional Key Indicators

Multi-Year Data Summaries

Tier II Behavior Patterns for Targeted Groups

CICO-SWIS

CICO-SWIS

CICO-SWIS

CICO-SWIS

2 nd Period 3 rd Period

Tier III Individual Student Support

Fidelity of Implementation

Possible Measures of Student Behavior Measures ( Individual Student Information System (ISIS-SWIS) 1.Monitor team, assessment, selected outcomes 2.Completely individualized 3.Includes assessment of plan implementation fidelity Check-in/ Check-out SWIS (CICO SWIS) 1.Monitors daily report data 2.Monitors by student, by period, by goal School-wide Information System (SWIS) Office Discipline Referrals 1.ODR per day per month 2.ODR per location 3.ODR per time of day 4.ODR per student 5.ODR per problem behavior 6.ODR per ethnicity 7.Drill Down Function to assess with precision 1.Aggression in Cafeteria by certain students. License Fee $300/school/year first application $100 for each additional application

Main Messages Establish school-level data systems that fit the Multi-tiered approach. o More specific information as intensity of support increases Establish school-level ODR data systems that BOTH facilitate problem solving AND provide the data needed for performance reports Include fidelity of behavior support implementation as part of the individual student support system
