6. Our Tier 2 Systems Teams Selected Systems Planning (“conversation”)
Accesses data rules for student entry into intervention
Monitors effectiveness of CICO, SAIG, mentoring, and brief FBA/BIP supports
Review data to make decisions on improvements to the interventions themselves
Assess effectiveness of intervention for individual students
Problem Solving Team (“conversation”)
Develops plans for one student at a time
Not the same group as the Systems Team
Tier 2 Team Rep reports back to Systems Team
Indepth problem-solving for individual students does not occur at this meeting However – intervention effectiveness is assessed and further interventions are recommended as appropriate (reverse referral and data)

7. PBIS Overview in CFAUSD
New slide: shows how DATA guides us in our decision making in intervention choice for students. Explain note at bottom of slide. 3B’s refers to re-teaching of expectations in a small group setting. May need to explain who the Systems team is and who the Problem solving team is (may be some of the same people as on Systems team with some additions). Today are focusing on FBA part of FBA/BIP process. Will focus on FUNCTION of behavior today, but we will not go into intervention planning today….the BIP intervention planning will come on Day 4. May be hard for you to do that but really want you to focus on FUNCTION because that is critical to everything that comes after that in the process.

8. When students enter Tier 2 Interventions
Every student starts out on basic Check In/Check Out (CICO)
This will run for about 4 weeks (20 data points)
Every 4 weeks or so, the Tier 2 team evaluates the student on CICO.
The student can then fade out, or receive additional support (Layered on, nothing gets taken away)
If there is a major red flag, additional support can be layered on sooner. We do not make data rules for these exceptions
If a classroom teacher has a process in place with a student that is working, we ask them to please share that with the Tier 2 team, and they can work together to collect data

9. Additional Layers of Intervention
*The Tier 2 team will look at the data to see what additional layer of intervention the student will need
Individualized CICO
SAIG group
Connections (Mentor)
Also available: School Based Mental Health

10. What if this is not working?
If these interventions are not showing the progress we are looking for, then the Tier 2 team would move on to a brief Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) that can be done by the teacher.
Together as a team, they will create a behavior plan.

11. Brief FBA sooner in CFAUSD
Student meets the data rules
Student enters basic CICO (first intervention)
