11. Practices  Multiple ways of identifying students who may benefit  Office discipline referrals  Request for assistance  Formative evaluations Sample Formative Evaluation Continuum of supports Interventions for academic and social behavior linked

12. Outcomes Supporting Decision Making Systems Supporting Staff Behavior Practices Supporting Student Behavior OUTCOMES

13. Systems  Teams to support all students  SWPBS/leadership team Guide implementation of universal intervention Monitor outcomes and process (fidelity) Braid incoming initiatives into SWPBS Communicate with school community about SWPBS  Teams to Build systems and interventions for secondary tertiary Progress monitor Conduct FBA & wraparound and build interventions

14. Example: IPBS Systems Goal: Build systems and interventions for secondary tertiary  Initial “new teams training” & admin training Focus on systems and progress monitoring  Monthly district team meetings Support plan coaching Systems for Tier II interventions What skills/materials are needed? What are target behaviors? What is the goal? What defines progress and lack of progress? CICO Features

15. Example: IPBS Systems  Teams to support all students  SWPBS/leadership team  IPBS Team Responsibilities Membership Coordinator Administrator FBA coordinator Targeted interventions coordinator Academic specialist Representation from Regular and Special ed. Minutes

16. Example: IPBS Systems  Teams to support all students  SWPBS/leadership team  IPBS team  Student-focused team Responsibilities Conduct functional behavior assessment Build support plan Membership Someone with expertise in function-based support Teacher(s), other stakeholders Parent, student

17. Systems  Teams to support all students  System for monitoring outcomes  Access to assistance  Assistance for teachers  Assistance for team members  Link across continuum of PBS (universal, targeted, intensive)  School-family connection

18. Systems Supporting Staff Behavior Practices Supporting Student Behavior OUTCOMES Outcomes Supporting Decision Making

19. Outcomes/Data  Individual students  Tools for data collection  Tools for easy graphing and evaluation  Teachers receive feedback regularly  Parents receive feedback regularly  Effects of system monitored  Outcomes  Fidelity  Social validity DailyFidelity

20.  Our Goal: Supporting students with significant challenges  With positive outcomes  With fidelity  Over time

21. Challenges for Districts  Universal level of PBS available for ALL students  Moving from one-student at a time, reactive approaches to capacity within schools to support the behavior of ALL students?  Developing and implementing systems needed for tertiary implementation  Referrals to Special Education seen as the “intervention”  FBA viewed as required “paperwork” vs. a needed part of designing an intervention  Interventions the system is familiar with vs. ones likely to produce an effect

22.  Practices to be supported  Targeted interventions  Function-based support  Data-based decision rules Districts Support School Practices  District support  Investment in 2-4 targeted interventions  Initial and on-going training for relevant personnel Build capacity in efficient FBA Technical assistance available for comprehensive FBA/BSP On-site coaching for new IPBS schools  Hiring practices promote implementation of evidence-based interventions

23. Districts Support School Systems  District teams support school teams  District leadership team  District IPBS team  SWPBS a priority for district  Funding available for school SWPBS efforts

24. Districts Support School Use of Data  District provides schools data system—all tiers  District uses data to guide decision-making  Training needs  Support needs  District highlights important outcomes for stakeholders

25. IPBS Timeline

26. Illinois Example……

27. Ensuring Capacity at All 3 Tiers  Begin assessment and development of secondary and tertiary tiers at start-up of universal  Assess resources and current practices (specialized services)  Review current outcomes of students with higher level needs  Position personnel to guide changes in practice  Begin planning and training with select personnel  All 3 tiers addressed at all district meetings and at every training

28. Requirements for IL Tertiary Demos  District Commitment  Designated Buildings/District Staff  External Tertiary Coach/Coordinator  Continuum of Skill Sets (training, guided learning, practice, coaching, consultation)  Commitment to use of Data System  Going beyond ODR ’ s (i.e. SSBD)  Self assessment/fidelity  SIMEO-Student Outcomes

29. District-wide Secondary/Tertiary Implementation Process  District meeting quarterly  District outcomes  Capacity/sustainability  Other schools/staff  Building meeting monthly  Check on all levels  Cross-planning with all levels  Effectiveness of practices (CICO/BIP/Wrap, etc)  Secondary/Tertiary Coaching Capacity  Wraparound Facilitators

30. System Data to Consider  LRE  Building and District Level  By disability group  Other “ places ” kids are “ parked ”  Alternative settings  Rooms w/in the building kids are sent  Sub-aggregate groups  Sp. Ed.  Ethnicity

31. Ongoing Self – Assessment of Secondary/Tertiary Implementation Building Level:  IL Phases of Implementation (PoI) Tool  IL Secondary/Tertiary Intervention Tracking Tool  Sp. Ed Referral Data  Suspensions/Expulsions/Placements (ongoing)  Aggregate Individual Student Data (IL SIMEO data)  LRE Data trends  Subgroup data (academic, discipline, Sp. Ed. Referral, LRE, etc) District Level:  Referral to Sp.Ed. Data  LRE Data (aggregate and by building)  IL Out-of-Home-School-Tracking Tool (multiple sorts)  Aggregate SIMEO data  Aggregate PoI Data

32. Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports: A Response to Intervention (RtI) Model Tier 1/Universal School-Wide Assessment School-Wide Prevention Systems Tier 2/Secondary Tier 3/ Tertiary SIMEO Tools: HSC-T, RD-T, EI-T Small Group Interventions (CICO, SAIG, etc) Intervention Assessment Illinois PBIS Network, Revised Sept., 2008 Adapted from T. Scott, 2004 Group Interventions with Individualized Focus (CnC, etc) Simple Individual Interventions (Brief FBA/BIP, Schedule/ Curriculum Changes, etc) Multiple-Domain 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.

33. Example: Illinois PBIS  Tertiary Systems Planning Team  Secondary Systems Planning Team  Secondary (Generic) Problem Solving Team  Individual Youth FBA/BIP Team  Wraparound Team  District Tertiary Leadership Team

34. Example: Illinois PBIS’s Tertiary Planning Team  Administrator  Social worker/guidance/school psychologist  General Educator  Special Educator  Tertiary Coach

35. Example: Illinois PBIS’s Tertiary System Planning Team  Building-based team  Supported by Tertiary Coach  Review/assess all levels of intervention Data, referrals, team perspectives  Focus on effectiveness of Tertiary interventions (data, not individual students)  Pull interventions down to Universal & Secondary levels (efficiency)  Strengthen Tertiary interventions with Universal & Secondary (effectiveness)  Support wraparound facilitators

36. Example: Illinois PBIS’ Student-Specific Teams  Wraparound Team:  Family of child and all relevant stakeholders invited by family. Wrap facilitators are trained to effectively engage families so that they will see that these teams are created by and for the family, and therefore will want to have a team and actively participate. School staff involved are informed that their presence is uniquely important for this youth and invited to participate.  Individual Youth FBA/BIP Team:  Like the wraparound team, this team is uniquely created for each individual child in need of comprehensive planning and the families are critical members of the team (esp. since planning is done based on multiple-life domains). All relevant individuals/staff are invited.
