14. Why Focus on Core Features?
Core features are a key to culturally sensitive PBIS.
They allow use of different strategies and paths to achieve the features of a school that benefit all students.
The focus on Core Features facilitates large-scale implementation
Core features are critical to state and district alignment of multiple initiatives

15. 2. Use of Fidelity Measures
Providing teams with a valid, reliable, efficient fidelity measure is among the most empowering actions a leader can make.
Fidelity measures shift the focus from “are we implementing program X?” to “are we establishing the features of a school that will benefit students?”
Fidelity measures should be done at least 2-3 times a year and ALWAYS result in an action plan.

17. 1.1 Team Composition Subscale: Teams Feature Data Sources
Scoring Criteria
0 = Not implemented
1 = Partially implemented
2 = Fully implemented
1.1 Team Composition: Team Composition: Tier I team includes a Tier I systems coordinator, a school administrator, a family member, and individuals able to provide (a) applied behavioral expertise, (b) coaching expertise, (c) knowledge of student academic and behavior patterns, (d) knowledge about the operations of the school across grade levels and programs, and for high schools, (e) student representation.
School organizational chart
Tier I team meeting minutes
0 = Tier I team does not exist or does not include coordinator, school administrator, or individuals with applied behavioral expertise
1 = Tier I team exists, but does not include all identified roles or attendance of these members is below 80%
2 = Tier I team exists with coordinator, administrator, and all identified roles represented, AND attendance of all roles is at or above 80%
Main Idea: Teams need people with multiple skills and perspectives to implement PBIS well.

23. 3. District as Unit of Implementation
Student is unit of impact
School is unit of analysis
District is unit of implementation (Region)
State is unit of capacity development

25. 4. Aligning Multiple Initiatives
Taking PBIS to the next level of scaling will depend largely on our ability to define practical and efficient systems for aligning multiple initiatives at the state, region and district level.

28. 4 Key Features of Effective Alignment
Align multiple initiatives at the organizational level where a common budget authority exists.
Align multiple initiatives by using a common outcome measure to assess effectiveness.
Build aligned professional development by comparing and combining the “core features” of multiple initiatives.
Compare fundamental assumptions
Start with common “core features” and compare the practices used to achieve these features.
Determine how to incorporate additional core features with efficiency
Build single Professional Development curricula that combine core features.
Resolve Logic Model Conflict

30. Summary
School-wide social culture is increasingly being recognized as a fundamental element of effective schools.
PBIS is an effective and efficient framework for establishing and sustaining a school-wide social culture
For the near future:
Focus on “core features” of PBIS
Measure and use fidelity data
Focus on district capacity
Establish a formal protocol for selecting and aligning multiple initiatives.
