EBS Survey Data Results for Schools

Self Assessment Summary Team Implementation Checklist results show 8 out of the 12 school teams are at 80% overall implementation, There is a 68% increase in the number of surveys completed by staff, students, parents and community members between and school years. There was a 16.6% decrease in the perceived risk factors across the USD 305 schools between and school years.

Training and Support All 12 buildings are receiving implementation support Coaches meetings occur monthly to support schools External coaches are now completing the SET in schools they are not supporting directly All 12 buildings are implementing school-wide PBS in varying degrees Targeted and intensive individual positive behavior support is being implemented at Heusner and Stewart

Training and Technical Assistance Tier 1 Training  All buildings district wide Advanced Tier 1 Training  All buildings district wide (Except CHS) Tier 2 Training  Central High School, Heusner Elementary School, Stewart Elementary School Tier 3 On site Support  Central High School Fall 2009

Why Create Inter-rater Agreement for the SET? Avoid “we’re doing MTSS for behavior” Provide consistent responses to school teams Build capacity of district personnel to guide PBIS/MTSS process Link district data to state PBS Kansas  Districts participating are working on plan to unify data  Consistency between all state district coordinators and SET implementers  Districts understand they are implementing PBIS---there is evidence via inter-rater agreement

Inter-rater Agreement on the School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) 1 District Coordinator + 3 External Coaches Reliable with 1 Benchmark Person; Proportion of Agreement: Formula = [Number of Agreements/ (Agreements + Disagreements)] x 100% Inter-Rater Agreement on SET for Reliable Raters # of Reliable Raters in District SETs Completed Inter-rater Process Average Agreement Across All SETs Reliability Range Across Features 4 3 SETs in USD % 66.7% - 100% Across Features Inter-rater agreement is achieved if the person scores 3 SETS with 80% or higher agreement with the benchmark inter-rater reliability agreement person.
