Training Considerations Plan for initial trainings Identify when refreshers are needed Plan for training subs Plan for training new staff Determine training format(s)

Action Plan/Notes: Training Write down highlights and things to try about staff training (including initial, refresher, subs, and new staff) Think about what you currently have in place (PBIS handbook, PLCs, etc.)

Sharing FIDELITY data with staff “ Are we doing what we said we would do?” Frequency Share data with who? Reasoning Mechanisms Tier I/II Anytime you complete a portion of the TFI or SET Anytime you implement a change on campus All staff Other stakeholders (as appropriate) Accountability To encourage the team and staff to keep going- progress! To highlight areas of strength and need Reports (SWIS, Attendance, other?) Assessment results Individual Student Individual Student Plans: Within first month of implementing an individualized intervention Members of student team (as appropriate) Other stakeholders (as appropriate) To see if the plan is effective For recognition of the work that is being done To encourage the student and team to keep working Talking point at intervention meeting shout-out

It’s informing! (“Gosh, my work really is making a difference!) Perpetuates continued efforts! Mechanisms Staff mailboxes (data reports) blast Announcements Staff acknowledgement board Thank yous from parents, students

Action Plan/Notes: Sharing Data Write down highlights and things to try about sharing data with staff. Think about what you currently have in place for sharing fidelity and outcome data.

Soliciting Staff Input & Feedback Determine schedule (e.g., minimally annually for universal foundations) Determine feedback triggers (e.g., new interventions introduced school-wide or for students, low fidelity in an area)

Staff feedback formats During staff meetings: thumbs up, middle down or fist to five Paper surveys Feedback box Using technology (Google Forms, )Google Forms

What to do with feedback? Discuss concerns individually or at meetings Consider modifying processes Respond to staff about feedback Provide clarification if needed

Staff Acknowledgement Systems Change is hard!! Incentives can help staff build new habits. Outline protocols for staff acknowledgement: How and when? Is there a reward associated? Schedule/process if raffle involved? Staff acknowledge each other? Students/families acknowledge staff?

Example: Staff Recognition PPPPublic recognition for giving out Clemente bucks. GGGGolden fire boot for staff whose class has best Fire Drill behavior. BBBBuilding service recognition for cleanest classroom/ stations. PPPPublic recognition for student attendance. PPPParking in an administrator’s parking space for a week. AAAAdministrator/Counselor class coverage. AAAAdministrator/Counselor walk class to lunch. MMMMovie passes GGGGift certificates

More ideas for acknowledging staff Ticket rewards For Class prizes, teacher is awarded also Notepads in office (Leave a nice note!) Refreshments Dinner on Parent Conference Days Special Parking place 30 minute or 1 Period teaching Pass Extra recess Raffle using student acknowledgement tickets, if staff signs them Class/duty coverage Recognition in newsletter Social Media shout-out

Staff Acknowledgement Considerations Recognition for specific PBIS implementation Team building & Celebrations Creative and low- cost ideas Consistency and structure Peer acknowledgement
