Kentucky Center for Instructional Discipline Mission Statement: To train and support schools in the implementation of positive, proactive and instructional strategies so students become self-disciplined, responsible and productive citizens of the Commonwealth.

What We Know… Research demonstrates that schools make greater academic gains when they build a school-wide positive social culture.

Systems of Support A continuum of systems and interventions is available to meet student needs. This support is organized through three tiers: –Universal –Targeted problem solving –Intensive, strength-based planning

Academic SystemsBehavioral Systems 1-5% 5-10% 80-90% Intensive, Individual Interventions Individual Students Assessment-based High Intensity Intensive, Individual Interventions Individual Students Assessment-based Intense, durable procedures Targeted Group Interventions Some students (at-risk) High efficiency Rapid response Targeted Interventions Group or Individual Some students (at-risk) High efficiency Rapid response Universal Interventions All students Preventive, proactive Universal Interventions All settings, all students Preventive, proactive Designing School-Wide Systems for Student Success

Intensive Level Training Family connection and support Community and Mental Health supports Behavior support plans Academic interventions Other life domains (safety, medical, spiritual…) Interagency connections

Targeted Problem-Solving Level Training Targeted Problem-Solving Level Training Problem solving structure & process Individual or small group interventions Functional assessment Behavior support plans Academic interventions Mental health supports

Universal Level Training Leadership Team formation Action Plan development Staff & family engagement Classroom & non-classroom strategies Data-based decision-making Sustainability

Components of a School-wide Approach commonapproach  an agreed upon and common approach to discipline, expectations  a small number of positively stated expectations for all students and staff,

Components of a School-wide Approach (con’t)  procedures  procedures for teaching these expectations to students, encouraging  a continuum of procedures for encouraging responsible behavior as demonstrated by these expectations,

Components of a School-wide Approach (con’t) discouraging  a continuum of procedures for discouraging irresponsible or rule- violating behavior, and monitoring and evaluating  procedures for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the discipline system on a regular and frequent basis.

A Shift in Thinking… From... –Focus on reactive –Focus on negative –Focus on punishment –Focus on deficits –Focus on problems –Professional centered –Expert model To... –Focus on proactive –Focus on positive –Focus on instruction –Focus on strengths –Focus on needs –Child/Family centered –Team approach

KYCID Objectives Enhance school ability to achieve proficiency by 2014Enhance school ability to achieve proficiency by 2014 Promote healthy school climate and effective school leadershipPromote healthy school climate and effective school leadership Involve families, schools, community and related agencies to understand and support the modelInvolve families, schools, community and related agencies to understand and support the model

KYCID Objectives (con’t) Promote social and emotional wellness of all children and youthPromote social and emotional wellness of all children and youth Use on-going data collection for decision-making on multiple levelsUse on-going data collection for decision-making on multiple levels Support creation of local and regional capacity to implement and sustain the modelSupport creation of local and regional capacity to implement and sustain the model

An effective school-wide system of discipline or positive behavioral interventions and supports is only as good as the structures and processes that are in place to support their sustained use.

Self-Assessment Schools complete self-assessment prior to beginning trainingSchools complete self-assessment prior to beginning training Teams must understand that things not in place at initiation of training will be emphasized as areas needed for successful implementation.

Self-Assessment Some items are non-negotiable, these are: funding support, coaching support, time allocated for meetings and evaluationSome items are non-negotiable, these are: funding support, coaching support, time allocated for meetings and evaluation Staff buy in, as demonstrated by EBS results, must be at a sufficient enough level for progress to be anticipated. Otherwise, acceptance for training may be postponed until staff better understands expectations of the processStaff buy in, as demonstrated by EBS results, must be at a sufficient enough level for progress to be anticipated.

Use of Data Continuous review of information and data –Office discipline referrals –Attendance –Tardiness –Academics –Assignment completion –Bus behavior –Student/staff surveys

Use of Data Ask specific questions of the data –What –Where –When –Who –Why –How often all to guide school-wide decision making.

Main Data Components Effective Behavior Support Survey (EBS) Office Disciplinary Referral Report –School-wide Information System (SWIS) School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) School surveys

Effective Behavior Support Survey examines –School-wide discipline system –Non-classroom management systems –Classroom management systems –Systems for individual students engaging in chronic behaviors

Effective Behavior Support The EBS Survey is designed to help schools gather staff perceptions about behavior support systems and practices in their building. This survey is used during the initial stages of planning and annually thereafter.

School-wide Information System The School-Wide Information System (SWIS) is a web-based information system designed to help school personnel to use office referral data to design school-wide and individual student interventions.

School-wide Information System The three primary elements of SWIS are: an efficient system for gathering information a web-based computer application for data entry and report generation a practical process for using information for decision making

School-wide Information System The three elements give school personnel the capability to evaluate individual student behavior, the behavior of groups of students, behaviors occurring in specific settings, and behaviors occurring during specific time periods of the school day.

School-Wide Information System SWIS reports indicate times and/or locations prone to elicit problem behaviors, and allow teachers and administrators to shape school-wide environments to maximize students' academic and social achievements.
