6. Activity #1 With someone from another table:
Share your favorite summer activity
Discuss reasons why we need to communicate data?
Organize graph from sticky notes!!!

7. Why do we Communicate
Communication should be the conduit between the team you represent to other stakeholders
Without an effective communication loop, your ability to implement, monitor and evaluate your PBIS Implementation will be impacted
Many people within your organization are integral to your District’s plan being successfully implemented!
Communication to and from your staff all along the way is critical

8. What do we Communicate
Information about the PBIS installation and implementation efforts
Celebrations and barriers
Next steps
Data collection and analysis
Connections between initiatives

9. When do we communicate?
Regularly - if we don’t schedule it then it does not remain a priority
After data is collected
Before completing a task that may be influenced by the data

10. How do we communicate?
Presentation
Newsletter
Posted

15. But, it is data . . .

16. So, let’s make it interesting

17. Understand Predict Infer Relate
How to make it engaging
Understand Predict Infer Relate

18. Predict Tests preconceived assumptions vs. reality
Connects audience to the data
Trainer Notes:
Once had a video conference call where we were looking at data from another region. But we made predictions to test our assumptions and then revealed the numbers. I was much more engaged than I would have normally been.
On a sticky write down which category from our Summer Activity graph got the most votes, which got the least, and how many chose Camping.
Reveal the graph

19. Understand
Identify:
Strengths
Weaknesses
patterns
Create a narrative summary of data in their own words
If we are looking at SWIS data, it is easy for us to look at where our tough spots in the school are. That information is part of the story of our daily life in that building.

20. Infer Make some logical guesses as to why Leads toward action steps
Making inferences, based on the data, but it can also lead to us wanting to gather more information. For example, we may see that playground has the most referrals, but we don’t know why. We may need to go talk to playground staff (action item) to give us the information that is needed to improve (another action item)

21. Relate
What does this mean for me?
How does it impact daily work?

22. Activity #4
How might you make the information engaging to the audience
Record on your worksheet
Share with an elbow partner
