5. National Context

6. ßOver 50% of U.S. crime is committed by 5-7% of children between ages of 10-20 ßOver 82% of crime is committed by people who have not completed school ß70% of youth viewed as antisocial in school are arrested within 3 years of leaving school ßProblem behavior is the single most common reason why students with disabilities are removed from regular schools, work, and house settings (From Kincaid, D. University of South Florida) Student Problem Behavior: Social Cost

7. Student Problem Behavior: Economic Cost The average cost of the most highly restrictive placements for students with disabilities is $150,000 Federal & state governments add 1,500 prison beds every week costing $30 billion/ year It is projected that soon more Americans will be in prison than will attend the nation’s 4-year colleges Kincaid, h Florida (Kincaid, D., University of South Florida)

30. The Ohio Integrated Systems Model for Academic and Behavior Supports The Ohio Integrated Systems Model for Academic and Behavior Supports is a comprehensive school-wide prevention & intervention model that provides support systems which address both academic and behavioral needs of ALL students.

36. Research Foundations Based on longitudinal research, achievement is strongly and reciprocally linked to behavior and psychological well being. Based on longitudinal research, achievement is strongly and reciprocally linked to behavior and psychological well being. School wide prevention/intervention efforts in early grades promote academic achievement, prevent school failure and drop out. School wide prevention/intervention efforts in early grades promote academic achievement, prevent school failure and drop out. School wide prevention/intervention efforts promote emotional and behavioral well-being; prevent drug abuse, aggression, and mental disorders.

47. Regional Evaluation Small Sample Size Outcomes: Positive correlation between schools’ self -assessments of implementation and independent raters Positive correlation between schools’ self -assessments of implementation and independent raters Low implementing schools vs. High implementing schools Low implementing schools vs. High implementing schools Both high and low implementer schools made overall achievement gains Both high and low implementer schools made overall achievement gains High implementers demonstrated higher subgroup student performance. These schools were more successful in closing achievement gaps for SWD and other at-risk students. High implementers demonstrated higher subgroup student performance.
