Problem Solving Steps Cont’d…  Develop a hypothesis about why problem is occurring, & write hypothesis statement on Action Plan  Discuss and select solutions to problem, & write solution actions on Action Plan 7

Problem Solving Steps Cont’d…  Write TIPS Problem Solving Action Plan items for team-identified problems, including measurable Goals  Determine baseline & solution frequency for problems  Monitor progress at…  Completing tasks listed in Meeting Minutes  Solving problems listed in TIPS Problem Solving Action Plan 8

TIPS Problem-Solving “Mantra” 1. Do we have a problem? (identify) 2. What is the precise nature of our problem? (define, clarify, confirm/disconfirm inferences) 3. Why does the problem exist, & what can we do about it? (hypothesis & solution) 4. What are the actual elements of our plan? (Action Plan) 5. Is our plan being implemented, & is it working? (evaluate & revise plan) 13

1. Do we have a problem?  A problem is a gap between the desired outcome or objective and current status.  Data assists in defining the problem. 14

Identifying Problems/Issues  What data to monitor  ODR per day per month  OSS, ISS, Attendance, Teacher report  Team Checklist/ SET (are we doing what we planned to do?)  What question to answer  Do we have a problem?  What questions to ask of Level, Trend, Peaks  How do our data compare with last year?  How do our data compare with national/regional norms?  How do our data compare with our preferred/expected status?  If a problem is identified, then ask  What are the data we need to make a good decision? 15

2. What is the precise nature of our problem? (What is the data we need for a decision?)  Precise Problem Statements include information about the following questions:  What is the problem and how often is it happening?  Where is it happening?  Who is experiencing the problem?  When is the problem most likely?  Why do we see this problem and what is sustaining it? 16

Problem Statement Guidelines:  Ultimately, you want to write a “problem statement” that precisely specifies the problem you identified  The more Ws (what, when, where, who… why) you incorporate into the problem statement, the more precise the problem statement will be  The more precise the problem statement, the easier it will be to generate a solution that “fits” the problem 17

Use School-wide Information System (SWIS) Data to Achieve Precision QuestionSWIS Table/Graph What problem behaviors are occurring? Referrals by problem behavior When are problem behaviors occurring? Referrals by time Where are problem behaviors occurring? Referrals by location Who is engaging in problem behaviors? Referrals by student Why do problem behaviors keep happening Referrals by motivation 18

Examples: Primary to Precise  Bullying behavior is increasing  Texting during school is becoming more negative  Bullying (verbal and physical aggression) on the playground is increasing during “first recess,” is being done mostly by four 4 th grade boys, and seems to be maintained by social praise from the bystander peer group.  A large number of students in each grade level (6, 7, 8) are using texting to spread rumors, and harass peers. Texting occurs both during the school day, and after school, and appears to be maintained by attention from others. 19

Problem Statement (primary) We have high rates of physical aggression, disrespect and inappropriate language on the playground Problem Statement We have high rates of physical aggression, disrespect and inappropriate language on the playground during second and third grade recess. Problem Statement (precise) We have high rates of physical aggression, disrespect and inappropriate language on the playground during second and third grade recess. Many students are involved and it appears they are trying to get access to equipment/games 20

3. Why does the problem exist, & what can we do about it? (hypothesis & solution) Use precision problem statement to build and test hypotheses. Problem Statement: We have high rates of physical aggression, disrespect and inappropriate language on the playground during second and third grade recess. Many students are involved and it appears they are trying to get access to equipment/games. Hypothesis: There is not enough playground equipment for all children to access 21

Solution Development problem statement & hypothesis: PreventionHow can we avoid the problem context? TeachingHow can we define, teach and monitor what we want? Reward/RecognitionHow can we build systemic reward for desired behavior? ExtinctionHow can we prevent problem behavior from being rewarded? Corrective ConsequencesWhat are efficient, consistent consequences for problem behavior? Data CollectionHow will we collect and use data to evaluate (a) Implementation Fidelity, and (b) impact on student outcomes? Safety?Safety may need to be considered (i.e., procedures that may be required to decrease likelihood of injuries or property damage) 22

For each problem  Define how you will measure fidelity of solution implementation  How will you know that solutions were implemented as planned?  How often do you need to gather those data?  When will you use those data for problem solving?  Who will generate summaries of those data? 23

4. What are the actual elements of our plan? (Action Plan)  Action Plan Elements:  Who?  By When?  Goal with Timeline  Fidelity of Implementation Measure  Effectiveness of Implementation Measure 24

5. Is our plan being implemented & is it working? (evaluate & revise plan)  Define the goal for solving the problem  What will ‘it’ look like when you say it is not a problem  Define how you will know that the solutions were implemented as planned (with fidelity)?  How often will you conduct a status review?  Define how you will know that the solutions had a positive effect on student achievement, social competence, and/or safety?  How often will you monitor student progress? 25

Monitoring and Evaluation  What will the data tell you when the problem is solved?  Base on team-established standard  Easier to monitor if quantifiable (“countable”)  Record on meeting minute form for progress monitoring at future meeting(s) 26
