17. What to do when the data doesn’t reflect the intent of the system?

18. Intentional Systems: Student Recognition Kolt Pride Ticket Winners 31% decrease 13-14 to 14-15 43% increase 14-15 to 15-16 31% decrease 13-14 to 14-15 43% increase 14-15 to 15-16 21% decrease 12-13 to 13-14 41% increase 13-14 to 14-15 21% decrease 12-13 to 13-14 41% increase 13-14 to 14-15

19. Shared data at staff meeting

20. 1.What are the patterns we see in the data? 2.What factors were different and the same between last year and this year’s Blitz? 3.What factors should we try and keep in place and why ( hypothesis of impact )? 4.What factors should we change and why ( hypothesis of impact )? Collect feedback from staff. PBIS Team uses the ideas to plan changes.

21. Based on the feedback from March BLITZ date October BLITZ plan… Changed Changed the BLITZ to be 2 weeks instead of 4 Themed around a positive attitude verses specific behaviors To many different tickets, so we had one ticket for the two weeks Did not include staff incentive  Stayed the Same Linked BLITZ to character dare Increased the drawing each week Did daily drawing at lunch for smaller treats Created lessons and special tickets Want to adjust for next time: Bring back staff incentives Work with staff to learn how to make giving the ticket itself a reward Involve students in creating the lessons

23. Last Year’s Blitz reduced ODRs by 60! This year’s theme is good habits: – Learning ready – Kind words – School spirit

25. Intentional Systems: Student Recognition Teachers nominate and write a narrative about why. Mr. Edwards reads the narrative at assembly w/ parent/guardian(s) invited! Heart of the Kolt

26. Intentional Systems: Student Recognition Student of the Month

27. Intentional Systems: Student Recognition Staff to Student Student to Staff Staff to Staff Ongoing regard Regular expression of genuinely experiencing the value of another person’s behavior is the language of on-going regard. The intention is to enhance the quality of a special kind of information: – Informing the person about our experience of him or her. It is practice of non-characterizing, non-attributing communication. Postcards
