We organize our resources – Multi-tier model – Communication and Information Sharing – Problem-solving approach Students get help earlier – Actions based on outcomes (data!), not procedures We do stuff that’s likely to work – Evidence-Based interventions We make sure they’re successful – Progress monitoring – Problem-Solving process – Increasing levels of intensity

37
School-Wide Expectations & Rules – Must be a part of the school’s everyday language – Must students, parents and community partners must buy-in – Address ALL areas of campus Lesson Plans to Teach Students Formal opportunities, as well as teachable moments Plan for rewarding appropriate behavior – If the student hasn’t collected their reward, they haven’t contacted the Tier 1 system
38
Video Example
39
Goal of Tier 1 is: prevention, & promotion of positive behavior Actively reviewing school-wide data – Implementation – Outcomes – Screening Planning interventions for Tier 1 Identifying needs at Tier 2
40
Detentions, suspensions and expulsions DON’T WORK to change behavior in the long term for MANY students This approach includes a set of strategies and systems to increase The capacity of schools to reduce school disruption and educate all students including those with problem behaviors
41
What this system allows us to do: Invest in prevention Teach, monitor and reward BEFORE punishment Implement for sustainable effects Evaluate using information for decision-making Partner across the community to accomplish same goals
42
School and partner data to identify areas of need – Adopt an apartment complex – Parent nights in the community – Support groups and community Camp LEAD – Experiential program – Matador Pride ambassadors in

School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support Sid Smith, Ph.D. Monterey County Behavioral Health 44
45
How & Why Monterey County Rolled-out PBIS Monterey County Behavioral Health had funds dedicated for innovative and preventive programming. After eliciting stakeholders input, we chose PBIS. o Positive engagement in education associated with many positive outcomes (i.e. reduce youth violence). o Impacts many youth (entire school or district) for modest investment. o Evidence based o Data driven o Can individualize 45
46
How We Implemented in Monterey County Initial plan: Select 1 school site Provide training Provide financial support (pay for substitute teachers, data tracking software) Desired outcome: Selected site becomes model program and others will follow. 46
47
How Plan Evolved o Provided overview of program to all interested school sites (17). o Participants did not like our plan of selecting only one school and responded: “Train us all and we will cover the financial costs” (outside of training and software costs). o We paid for data tracking as we felt it was important for uniform reporting on results. 47
48
The County-wide PBIS effort started 2 years ago (1 district, independently, started 1 year prior). Leadership teams from 36 school sites (9 different districts) received Tier 1 training. 20,000 students impacted. Elementary, Middle and High Schools represented. 48
49
PBIS in Monterey County is a Partnership with: California State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB) Monterey County Behavioral Health Monterey County Office of Education Santa Clara Office of Education We welcome others to join our efforts 49
50
Next Steps Continue to provide training/support to Tier 1 schools to achieve fidelity (go at their pace). When site(s) ready, train Tier 2 skills and later Tier 3 skills. Train new sites. Build on cross-county collaborations. Develop funding for dedicated staff to coordinate efforts. Link to our other county-wide initiative: All Kids…Our Kids. 50
51
All Kids…Our Kids “Be there for them every day” Based on Search Institute’s framework of 40 developmental assets. More assets associated with: Decrease in high risk behaviors. Increased likelihood for youth to thrive. 51
52
Lessons Learned Active leadership from school principal and superintendent is important. With educational staff turn over every year there are new training needs. Each school site goes at their own pace. Dedicated staff time for coordination vs “on top of your other tasks”. 52
53
Concluding Thoughts: o How do good ideas spread across an organization? o Presentation of scientific facts is not enough. o Training alone is not enough. o Line staff are more influenced by the actions of their peers. o Leadership needs to “identify and support” early adopters and others will follow. 53

Michigan’s Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative (MiBLSi) Steve Goodman, Director miblsi.cenmi.org
55
What is MiBLSi? A statewide structure to create capacity for an integrated Behavior and Reading Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) that can be implemented with fidelity, is sustainable over time and utilizes data- based decision making at all levels of implementation support.
56
Why we invest in this work… Students need to be competent with both academic AND social behavior skills to increase graduation rates, reduce dropout rates, reduce youth violence and improve post school opportunities and success.
57
Access to Effective Behavior and Reading Practices Ensuring that students (staff) have access to effective practices in an integrated behavior and reading Multi-Tiered System of Supports Practices are selected based on: Need, Fit, Resource Availability, Evidence, Readiness for Replication, Capacity to Implement Support for the Practices Ensuring that the interventions are implemented correctly with the “right people”, at the “right time”, in the “right amounts” (Implementation Fidelity)

60
The Multi-Tiered Logic Model: –Increased supports, intensity of practices, and frequent data-based decisions based on intensity of need. –Multi-tiered logic is applied to students, staff and organizations.

Recommendations and Suggestions 1.The work is immense and complex, we need to invest in school/community partnerships that focus on developing a culture of competence with shared values, language and experiences. 2.Focus on what works by utilizing research-based practices and data-based decision making. 3.Emphasize common goals/priorities across organizations and agencies to strengthen communication and implementation efforts. 4.Ensure that organizations create “host” environments to make it easy for the practitioner to implement with fidelity (e.g, provide political support and reduction of competing initiatives).
