10 Critical Features of Tier 2 Interventions1. Intervention linked directly to

school wide expectations and/or academic goals.

2. Intervention continuously available for student participation.

3. Intervention is implemented within 3 school days of determining the student is in need of the intervention

Guiding Questions Are your PBIS Tier 2 interventions aligned

to the critical features? How do you know?

Are your PBIS systems culturally responsive? How do you know?

Are your PBIS Tier 2 group interventions effective? How do you know?

How are you documenting the integrity/fidelity of the interventions?

What data needs to be shared with all staff? How often? Why?

What does that acronym mean?????

CICO – Check-In/Check-Out SAIG – Social/Academic Instructional GroupsGWIF – Groups with Individual FeaturesFBA – Functional Behavior AssessmentBIP – Behavior Intervention Plan

Check In, Check OutCICO

Check-In, Check-Out Intervention for Students At-Risk

(Hawken, Pettersson, Mootz, & Anderson, 2005)

What is CICO?• First level of Tier 2 intervention• Extension of Tier 1• Same for all identified students• Large group intervention• Support for 7-12% of the school

population• High frequency positive or neutral

feedback• Low impact on staff time

CICO CycleEvery 2 weeks

Coordinator reviews individual student DPR data

@ 4 weeksCoordinator determines level

of success

Responding = Continue

Not Responding = Reverse Request for Assistance

Monthly Systems Team Meeting

Team makes data-based decisions

Adapted from Crone, Horner, Hawkin (2004)

CICO Daily Cycle 1. Check-in with assigned adult upon arrival

to school• Greets student• Collects previous day’s DPR with

parent signature (optional)• Reviews School-wide expectations • Provides new Daily Progress Report • Provides materials (pencil etc.) if

needed• Provides reinforcer for check-in

(optional)(March & Horner, 1998)

CICO Daily Cycle continued…

2. During each time period:• Teacher provides positive/corrective

behavioral feedback• Teacher completes DPR or student

completes self-monitoring DPR (teacher checks and initials card)

(March & Horner, 1998)

3. Check-out at end of day:• Review points & goals• Reinforce student for checking-out • Receive reinforcer if goal met (optional)

• Take DPR card home (optional)

CICO Daily Cycle continued…

(March & Horner, 1998)

4. Student gives DPR to parent (optional)• Student receives reinforcer from

parent• Parent signs card (Students are not “punished”

if their parents don’t participate.)

5. Return signed card next day – celebrate

CICO Daily Cycle continued…

(March & Horner, 1998)

Social/Academic

Instructional Groups (SAIG)

Social/Academic Instructional GroupsThree types of skills-building groups:

1) Pro-social skills2) Problem-solving skills3) Academic Behavior skills

Skill groups can be facilitated by:Social WorkersCounselors PsychologistsTeachersOther staff

Use the CICO Daily Progress Report for student support and data collection

3 Keys to Successful SAIG1. Build SAIG on top of a strong

Tier 1 System2. Develop a group goal/plan

using the Tier 2 Documentation Worksheet & Intervention Integrity Form

3. Collect and use data to problem solve

Sample Documentation Form

Choosing or Designing Group Interventions

• Choose & modify lessons from pre-packaged material based on the skill needed for the group

and/or• Use already created universal behavior lesson plans or create lesson plans (Cool Tools) to directly teach replacement behaviors

Examples of Commercial Resources for Small Groups

• Strong Teens (Grades 9-12)• Aggression Replacement Training• Skillstreaming for the Adolescent• Tough Kids Social Skills (Grades 3-7)

• Other

Academic Behavior Skills• Listening • Asking for Help • Saying Thank

You • Bringing

Materials to Class

• Following Instructions

• Completing Assignments

• Contributing to Discussions

• Offering Help to an Adult

• Asking a Question

• Ignoring Distractions

• Making Corrections

used?What data is collected to determine group

effectiveness? How is it documented?What data is collected to determine

student response? How is it documented?

Two Types of Groups with Individualized Features

o CICO with individualized featureso Mentoring

GWIFCICO with

Individualized Features

CICO with Individualized Features

• Adds support to general CICO• Used after general CICO has been tried

for predetermined amount of time (i.e. 4-6 weeks) and student has not met pre-determined goal set for ALL students

• Teachers choose more individualized options on the Reverse Request for Assistance form

Reverse Request for Assistance form

• Tier 2 team designs the options for the school and communicates them to all staff

• The Reverse Request for Assistance form lists the specified options from which to choose

CICO with Individualized Features

• Uses the same DPR as used in general CICO

• Designed to be quick and efficient

Examples of CICO with individualized features• Extra check in time before/after lunch

with facilitator or other staff member• Peer accompanies student to check in

at beginning of the day and check out at end of the day

• Check in with supportive adult prior to a difficult class period

GWIFMentoring

5 Types of Mentoring(School-based or community-based)

• Traditional one-to-one mentoring• Group mentoring• Team mentoring• Peer mentoring• E-mentoring

School-based Mentoring• Most common form of mentoring• Matches need to happen early in

the school-year• One year commitment is the

norm• Frequent contact between

mentors & mentees

MentoringSchool-based Mentoring

• 64% of students developed more positive attitudes towards school

• 60% improved relationships with adults• 56% improved relationships with peers• 55% were better able to express their feelings• 64% developed higher levels of self-confidence• 62% were more likely to trust their teachers• Less likely than peers to repeat a grade• Average number of unexcused absences dropped

Brief ComplexFor: Students with mild to

moderate problem behaviors (behaviors that are NOT dangerous or occurring in many settings)

Students with moderate to severe behavioral problems; may be dangerous and/or occurring in many settings

What: Relatively Simple and Efficient process for behavior support planning based on “practical” FBA data

Time-intensive process that may involve emergency planning, family-centered planning, and collaboration with outside agencies

Developed by whom:

Team of school-based professionals (e.g., Problem-solving team members whose responsibilities include FBA and behavior intervention planning)

Individualized team including the family & professionals trained to develop and implement intensive interventions for students with severe problem behaviors (e.g., behavior specialist)

Brief to Complex FBA/BIP: Continuum

Data-based Decisions

Data-based decision making• How do you identify students for intervention?

• How do you match students to intervention?

• What data decisions are used for IN, ON, OUT?

• What documentation is necessary?

Cultural ResponsivenessPBIS

Cultural Responsiveness

• How is your team/school addressing cultural responsiveness?

• How have you addressed CR in:• Analyzing proportionality• Teaching expectations (Behavioral

Lessons/Cool Tools)• Acknowledging student behavior• Collecting data of majors and minors• Building Relationships with students and each

other

US Dept of Education Comprehensive Report & ResourcesNew Federal Guidance on School Discipline and Discrimination

http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/school-discipline/index.html

This resource is invaluable in helping to examine data, systems and practices to problem-solve and action plan around topics/issues related to cultural responsiveness.
