PBIS Implementation Goal 22.A system of rewards has elements that are implemented consistently across school/campus. a.The acknowledgement system guidelines and procedures are implemented consistently across school/campus. Almost all member of the school are participating appropriately (90-100% staff participation) 23.A variety of methods are used to acknowledge students a.The school uses a variety of methods to acknowledge students (e.g. praise, cashing in tokens/points). There should be opportunities that include tangible items, praise/recognition and social activities/events. Students with few/many tokens have equal opportunities to cash them in for rewards. However, larger rewards are given to those earning more tokens/points. 24.Rewards are lined to expectations and rules a.Acknowledgement is provided for behaviors that are identified in the rules/expectations and staff members verbalize the appropriate behavior when giving acknowledgement.

PBIS Implementation Goal 25.Rewards are varied to maintain student interest a.The acknowledgement is varied throughout year and reflects students’ interests (e.g. consider the student age, culture, gender and ability level to maintain student interest) 26.Ratios of reinforcement to corrections are high a.Ratios of teacher acknowledgement of appropriate behavior to correction of inappropriate behavior are high (e.g., 5:1) 27.Students are involved in identifying/developing incentives a.Students are often involved in identifying/developing incentives 28.The system includes incentives for staff/faculty a.The system includes incentives for staff/faculty delivered consistently

Problem Solving With Outcome Data

Using Data to Refine Problem Statement The statement of a problem is important for team-based problem solving.  Everyone must be working on the same problem with the same assumptions. Problems often are framed in a “Primary” form, that creates concern, but that is not useful for problem-solving.  Frame primary problems based on initial review of data  Use more detailed review of data to build “Solvable Problem Statements” AKA “Precision Statements” Taken from SWIS Training, Day 3

Primary Problem Statements  Our average Major ODRs per school day per month are higher than the national average for a school our enrollment size.  The problems occurring the most frequently are disrespect and aggression.  Most of our referrals occur in the cafeteria.  Most of our referrals occur between 9:45 and 10:45.

Precise Problem Statements (What are the data we need for a decision?) Precise problem statements include information about the Big Five questions: ◦ What is problem, and how often is it happening ◦ Where is it happening ◦ Who is engaged in the behavior ◦ When the problem is most likely ◦ Why the problem is sustaining Taken from SWIS Training, Day 3

Table Talk We’ll show some problem solving statements. With your table-mates, determine if the statement is a primary or precise statement. Choose 1 person to hold up the index card on the cue. Wait for the cue, “SHOW ME!”

Primary or Precise? Our average ODRs per school day per month are higher this year than for corresponding months of previous year. Primary

Primary or Precise? 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. Precise

Primary or Precise? Children are using inappropriate language with a high frequency in the presence of both adults and other children. This is creating a sense of disrespect and incivility in the school. Primary

Primary or Precise? ODRs during December are higher than in any other month. Primary

Primary or Precise? 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. Precise

Application Create an action plan from your problem statement. Prevention Teaching Reward Extinction Corrective Consequence Data Collection

Important Questions to Ask How sufficient is the core? ◦ More than 40% of students receive a referral?  Focus on SCHOOL-WIDE system ◦ More than 60% of referrals come from classroom?  Focus on CLASSROOM systems ◦ More than 35% of referral come from non-classroom setting?  Focus on NON-CLASSROOM systems Are there groups for whom the core is not sufficient?

What About Planning with Implementation Data? This, too requires a precise statement, and should follow all of the guidelines for problem solving. Item 9-14 on the Team Meeting Implementation Checklist

What About Planning with Implementation Data? This, too requires a precise statement, and should follow all of the guidelines for problem solving. Item 9-14 on the Team Meeting Implementation Checklist

Develop precise problem statements from the data. Application Precision Statement (Who, What, Where, When) The 12 staff members that completed the SAS mid November feel that none of the discipline features of the Universal system are fully in place. Problem behaviors are not clearly defined, and the distinction between class and office managed behavior is not clear. This is a moderate priority (less than 25% of staff finds it to be a low priority). Why do you think it is happening?
