3. Agenda Overview of PBIS Targeted Level within a Multi-Tier System of Supports Plan for Sustaining Universal PBIS efforts Highlight systems needed at Targeted Level Discuss who needs to be involved in planning at the systems and student planning levels Preview Inventory/Self-Assessment Preview Check-In/Check-Out and Teacher Check/Connect and Expect Functional Behavior Assessment Plan for Targeted Training Plan for SWIS CICO (optional)

4. Emphasis on Prevention School-wide/Primary – Reduce new problem behaviors Secondary/Targeted – Reduce current problem behaviors Intensive/Tertiary – Reduce complications, intensity, severity of current behaviors

5. SYSTEMS PRACTICES DATA Supporting Staff Behavior Supporting Decision Making Supporting Student Behavior OUTCOMES Social Competence & Academic Achievement

6. 80% of Students 15% 5% Establishing Continuum for SWPBIS TARGETED PREVENTION Check in/out Targeted social skills instruction Peer-based supports Social skills club INTENSIVE PREVENTION Function-based support Wraparound Person-centered planning UNIVERSAL PREVENTION Teach SW expectations Proactive SW discipline Positive reinforcement Effective instruction Parent engagement TARGETED PREVENTION INTENSIVE PREVENTION UNIVERSAL PREVENTION

7. Universal Prevention: School-/Classroom- Wide Systems for All Students, Staff, & Settings Targeted Prevention: Specialized Group Systems for Students with At-Risk Behavior Intensive Prevention: Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with High-Risk Behavior ~80% of Students ~15% ~5% SCHOOL-WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT

8. Core Features of a Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS) Investment in prevention Universal Screening Multi-tiered, prevention-based intervention approach Progress monitoring Use of problem-solving process at all 3-tiers Active use of data for decision-making at all 3-tiers Research-based practices expected at all 3-tiers Individual and group interventions commensurate with assessed level of need

9. Tier 1/Universal School-Wide Assessment School-Wide Prevention Systems Individualized data tools Check-in/ Check-out Individualized Check- In/Check-Out, Groups & Mentoring (ex. CnC) Brief Functional Behavioral Assessment/ Behavior Intervention Planning (FBA/BIP) Complex FBA/BIP Wraparound ODRs, Attendance, Tardies, Grades, DIBELS, etc. Daily Progress Report (DPR) (Behavior and Academic Goals) Competing Behavior Pathway, Functional Assessment Interview, Scatter Plots, etc. Social/Academic Instructional Groups Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports within MTSS: Illinois PBIS Network, Revised Aug.,2009 Adapted from T. Scott, 2004 Tier 2/ Targeted Tier 3/ Intensive Intervention Assessment

10. When to Consider Targeted Interventions When Universal systems are not sufficient to impact behavior When students display chronic patterns of disruptive behavior When concerns arise regarding students’ academic or social behavior

11. Using data to determine when to consider targeted interventions… 1) BoQ and/or SET 2) Use ODR Data

12. Using the Referrals by Student report as a Universal Screening Tool 12

13. Plan to Sustain Universal PBIS (Team Activity Prior to Targeted Training): Complete Activity #1 in the Targeted Workbook. Develop plan for sustaining PBIS at the Universal Level. We will ask you to share some of your strategies for sustaining PBIS at the Universal Level. We will ask you to identify any barriers that may exist. As a group we will brainstorm solutions.

14. Discussion/Questions/Comments

15. Which students might need more than Universal Level supports? Possible Categories of Risk: – More than a couple office disciplinary referrals – Attendance/late to school – Frequent nurse visits – Homework not completed – Behavior concerns not addressed through discipline system (e.g. social withdrawal, internalizing) – Other

16. What is a Targeted Intervention? An intervention (or set of interventions) known by all staff and available on an ongoing basis for eligible students throughout the school day. Interventions provide additional student support in academic, organizational, and/ or social support areas.

17. Targeted interventions are… Best for low level problem behavior (e.g. talk-outs, minor disruption, task completion); Efficient because they use a similar set of strategies across a group of students who need similar support; Effective because they focus on decreasing problem behavior in the classroom thereby increasing academic engagement and decrease office referrals.

18. Critical Features Rapid access to intervention (less than a week) Positive system of support Students agree to participate Implemented by all staff/faculty – very low effort Flexible intervention based on simple assessment of function of behavior Adequate resources allocated (admin, team) Continuous monitoring and decision-making Administrative support

19. Examples: Targeted Group Interventions Based on Functions of Behavior Access Adult Attention/Support: – Check-In/Check-Out – Adult Mentoring Programs Access Peer Attention/Support: – Social Skills Instruction – Peer Mentoring – Self-Monitoring with Peer Support (function: academic task escape) Academic Skills Support – Organization/Homework planning support – Homework completion club – Tutoring

20. Remember Common misperception is that these strategies will “fix” the student and the classroom teacher does not need to be an active participant since “specialists” or outside staff are often involved in the intervention – Important to stress that these interventions will require high level of involvement among ALL staff within the school building

21. Discussion/Questions/Comments

22. Targeted System for Behavior has two functions: 1.Systems level design and accountability 2.Student intervention planning and monitoring

23. 1. Targeted System Creates procedures for all targeted interventions (not individual students). Communicates to staff and families. Links between Targeted and Universal systems

24. Focus on Systems Who does this? The Leadership Team or a subset of the Team. Membership can be the same as Leadership Team but there must be “different conversations.” Administrator should participate Others

25. 2. Targeted for student planning and referral Meets weekly or bi-weekly to review student referrals and place student on CICO (unless otherwise specified) Communicates with staff and parents about student Evaluates student progress, needed plan change and exit from intervention

26. Focus on student planning and referral Who does this? Representative/s from Leadership Team; Individual/s skilled in function-based behavior support planning, Check-In/Check Out Coordinator (if using CICO); Administrator.

27. Targeted PBIS and EST Considerations PBIS Targeted Level for student planning is similar to the work of EST. EST and PBIS Targeted planning may be separate or combined team but should not be duplicative. Develop your PBIS targeted system to fit within your schools context. Goal: “Work smarter, not harder!”

28. Role of Administrator Administrator needs to…. – Know what the practices look like when implemented with fidelity; – Be aware of data using tracking tools; help decide what needs to change; – Be active/visible on teams; – Be “hands on” with the student plans; – Troubleshoot systems level issues.

29. Role of Supervisory Union/District Coordinator Builds capacity to implement effective practices – Focus on student outcomes – Focus on fidelity of implementation of effective practices across District/Supervisory Union. – Align SU/district systems, data and practices.

30. Role of Coordinator Attend Leadership Team Meetings Meet with (student-focused; 2-3 people) Team weekly to address student referrals, interventions and to monitor progress Attend regional coordinator meetings Attend all training events Help team complete behavior tasks on time Help with team organization Data organization and reporting

31. Team Profile

32. Inventory of Targeted Practices Begin the Targeted Practices Inventory and bring to Training for further discussion.

33. EXAMPLE

34. Discussion/Questions/Comments

35. Most Promising Targeted Intervention Check-in/Check-out (CICO) or Teacher Check, Connect and Expect (TCCE) Every school does not need every targeted intervention. All schools need one of the above interventions.

36. Check-In/Check Out Implementation Manual Crone, Horner, & Hawken (2004). Responding to Problem Behavior in Schools: The Behavior Education Program. New York, NY: Guilford Press (www.guilford.com)www.guilford.com Also referred to as BEP We will call it “Check- In/Check/Out”

37. CICO or TCCE What is Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) and Teacher Check, Connect and Expect (TCCE) How does it work? Why does it work? Who’s involved?

38. Check-in/Check-out Coordinator “Someone the students enjoy and trust” Enthusiastic Leads check-in and check-out Enters data daily Prioritizes students for review at team meetings Creates graphs for meetings Gathers extra info for meetings Maintains records

39. CICO or TCCE Planning Activities 1. Determine how CICO or TCCE will be implemented in your school 2. Develop DPR 3. Develop reinforcement system for students 4. Develop referral system 5. Create system for managing daily data 6. Plan for fading students off intervention 7. Develop staff training 8. Develop student and parent training

40. FBA/BIP Functional Behavioral Assessment/Behavior Intervention Plan

41. FBA/BIP Training… Understand behavior from a functional perspective Setting up a process for referral and response Steps in conducting a FBA/BIP Training for staff

42. CICO-SWIS Organized around same three areas as SWIS: – Data Entry – Reporting – Tool Reports organized to be used for two levels of problem-solving – Overall CICO Implementation – Individual Student Progress Monitoring

43. CICO-SWIS – View Reports www.pbisapps.org

44. Next Steps: Activity 1: Plan for sustainability at the Universal Level. Activity 2: Determine who will do systems level and individual student level planning at the Targeted Level Activity 3: Begin Inventory of Targeted Supports Consider SWIS for Check-in/Check-out Attendance at Targeted Level Training and other Logistics
