Tier I – Universal

• How are you doing with Tier I? • Successes

• Challenges

• Concerns

• Data sources• TIC, ODR, SET, BoQ, …

• For any concerns or challenges, add an item to your action plan

OVERVIEW/REVIEW

Overview• Emphasis will be placed on the processes, systems, &

organizational structures that are needed to enable the accurate adoption, fluent use, & sustained application of these practices.

• Importance of data based decision making, evidence based practices, & on-going staff development & support will be emphasized.

Purpose• To examine the features of a proactive systems approach

to preventing and responding to school-wide discipline problems• Big Ideas• Examples

The State of Education• Address the social behavior of students;• Continually deliver high quality instruction; • Implement new initiatives; • Meet professional growth goals; • Serve an increasingly diverse student body.

• Paradoxically, as resources for intervention and individually designed instruction are decreasing, the number of students demonstrating problem behavior is increasing (Hawken, Vincent, & Schumann, 2008).

School Safety: A Top Concern• Providing a safe, positive school climate, which

engages students in their academic program and supports their social and behavioral development, has been an enduring goal of educators, parents, and policymakers (Barnoski, 2001; Shelton, Owens, & Song, 2009).

• The 39th Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll of the public's attitudes toward public schools found that addressing a lack of discipline, fighting, and violence were among the top priorities for respondents(Rose & Gallup, 2007).

Impact of Behavior on Schools• More than 30% of our teachers will leave the

profession due to student discipline issues and intolerable behavior of students (Public Agenda, 2004).

• Student problem behavior can consume more than 50% of teachers’ and administrators’ time (U.S. Department of Education, 2000).

Student Wellbeing

• One in five (20%) of students are in need of some type of mental health service during their school years, yet 70% of these students do not receive services (Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health, 2011)

• It is estimated that the number of students being identified as having an Emotional/Behavioral Disorder has doubled in the last 30 years (US Dept of Ed, 2007).

The Challenge• Exclusion and punishment are the most common

responses to conduct disorders in schools. • Lane & Murakami, (1987)• Rose, (1988)• Nieto, (1999)• Sprick, Borgmeier, & Nolet, (2002)

• Punishing problem behaviors (without a proactive support system) is associated with increases in (a) aggression, (b) vandalism, (c) truancy, and (d) dropping out.

• Mayer, 1995• Mayer & Sulzar-Azaroff, 1991• Skiba & Peterson, 1999

Examples…

• In one school year, Jason received 87 office discipline referrals.

• In one school year, a teacher processed 273 behavior incident reports.

• A middle school principal must teach classes when teachers are absent, because substitute teachers refuse to work in a school that is unsafe & lacks discipline.

• During 4th period, in-school detention room has so many students that overflow is sent to counselor’s office. Most students have been assigned for being in hallways after the late bell.

“Positive Behavior Support”

PBS is a broad range of systemic & individualized strategies for achieving important social & learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students.

“EBS” = “PBS” = “PBIS” etc.

• Evidence-based features of SW-PBS• Prevention• Define and teach positive social expectations• Acknowledge positive behavior• Arrange consistent consequences for problem behavior• Collection and use of data for decision-making• Continuum of intensive, individual interventions. • Administrative leadership – Team-based

implementation

Outcomes

Systems: To sustain the implementation

Data: For decision making

Practices: Evidenced-based and doable

SWPBS IMPLEMENTATION DRIVERS

Why implement SWPBS?

Create a positive school culture:School environment is predictable

1. common language2. common vision (understanding of

expectations)3. common experience (everyone knows)

School environment is positiveregular recognition for positive behavior

School environment is safeviolent and disruptive behavior is not tolerated

School environment is consistentadults use similar expectations.

Implementation Features

1. Establish PBIS leadership team2. Secure SW agreements & supports3. Establish data-based action plan4. Arrange for high fidelity implementation5. Conduct formative data-based monitoring

Evidence-Base Summary

1. Typical schools are able to implement the BEP/CICO successfully.

2. Use of the BEP/CICO is related to reduced levels of problem behavior, and, for some students, increased levels of academic engagement

3. The BEP/CICO is likely to be effective with 60-75% of at risk students.

4. Students who do not find adult attention rewarding appear least likely to respond successfully to the BEP/CICO.

BRIEF ASSESSMENT

Purpose• To provide a process for completing a Brief FBA once a request

has been made

• Used to determine if one or more of the Tier II interventions is appropriate for the student or if another level of support is needed

Why Use a FBA?

FBA data support effective and efficient behavior support planning, a major goal of BIP (e.g., Carr et al., 1999; Didden et al., 1997)

FBA produces data on how system can:• Prevent problem behavior• Identify and teach alternative behaviors• Encourage appropriate behaviors• Discourage problem behavior

Levels of FBAFull FBAs:

• Record review, full interviews, observations• Specify problem behavior and contingencies

within routines for purpose of individualized intervention design

Simple FBAs:• Brief interview• Specify problem behavior, routines surrounding

problem behavior, and function of behavior for purpose of selecting type of Tier II intervention

Other Useful InformationAnalysis of minor write-upsInterview: teacher, parent studentMedication/MedicalAttendanceAcademic

• Standardized Test Scores• 9 weeks grades

Coordinator Reviews Students

Priority Student List for Meeting

• Look at individual student graphs

• Examine ODRs to explain, support graphs

• Determine if there is other subjective information that should be considered

• Set agenda for meeting

Recommended Agenda

Identified students with concernsDecision for priority students (maintain, modify)Rotating review of all students (e.g, every 9 wks)Decision for rotation students (maintain, fade)New studentsStudents to receive additional

acknowledgementsOther

Possible Decisions• Student is ready to graduate

• Student is doing fine, however, should stay on the intervention

• Student is having some problems but think simple modifications may work

• Determine what needs to happen and assign responsibility to team member

• Student is having significant problems and should be referred for a Full FBA

• Make referral or plan for this step

Decision: Graduate

80% or better for at least 4 weeks, on a daily basis

Consult with teacher(s), teamMeet with student to introduce the process

• Show data• Explain how to use rating card/how to judge own

behavior• CELEBRATE!

Talk with parent about graduation, how they can continue to support their child

Shift to self-managementTeacher ratings = Student ratingsRewards for honesty and accuracy

Fade data collectione.g., number of teacher check-ins, morning check-in,

afternoon check-out

Celebrate continued success• Some schools hold a monthly celebration for students

who are maintaining success after Graduating from CICO (Monthly “Alumni Club” Lunch)

Decision: Continue

• Student is making and maintaining progress but needs to stay on the intervention (4 to 6 weeks) to ensure continued success

• This decision will be based mostly on your clinical judgment

• Or the student or parent asks to continue the program

Matching to Student NeedsBasic SI: goals related to cooperative, respectful

behavior; reinforced through daily positive adult contact (attention-related)

SI+ Academic Support: goals, prompts, and encouragement for organizational and routine-following behaviors or increase in academic support

Escape SI: goals related to cooperative, respectful behavior: students reinforced through chance to earn a break from aversive activity or aversive social contact

Decision: Modify

More frequent reinforcement/Check-ins

More powerful reinforcement for daily goal either at school or home

Other minor modifications based on function

Conduct Brief Functional Assessment

Is the behavior maintained by escape

from social interaction?

Is the behavior related to lack of academic skills?

Is the behavior severe, complex, intensive?

Escape Motivated SI

•Reduce adult interaction

•Use escape as a reinforcer

SI + Academic Support

•Increase Academic support

Intensive,Individualized Behavior

Support

(e.g., Full FBA-BSP)

Decision: Tier III SupportMake referral to behavior specialist who can complete a

Full FBADirect observationInterviewsRecord review

Develop individualized, comprehensive BIP

CICO/BEP may be used a component of the comprehensive BIP

Activity

Preparing for Effective Meetings

• Use the template provided to create a meeting agenda that reflects

• high priority students

• rotating students

• new students

• other

• Create a tracking sheet that the coordinator can use to monitor students

TROUBLESHOOTING

Purpose• To give guidance to potential barriers of CICO/BEP

based on obstacles other schools have encountered

Obstacles to Implementation

• Administrator not on the team that develops the plan and looks at data for decision making

• Plan used as punishment rather than prevention program

• Plan coordinator lacks skills to implement the program (e.g., behavior intervention, computer)

• Schools expecting plan to solve all behavior problems

• Fitting plan and data evaluation into existing teams

Troubleshooting: Not Checking In (Infrequent)• Deliver DPR to student• Find out if he/she wants to participate in

program• May need to increase motivation with reinforcers

(selection, contracting)

• If student refuses to participate, probably need Full FBA (Tier III)

Troubleshooting: Not Checking Out (Infrequent)

• When student does not checkout nor bring card back next day, give 0 points for the day

• Coordinator asks what happened and reminds student to checkout

• Teachers can prompt student to checkout

Troubleshooting: Not Checking In or Out (Chronic)• Make sure they understand routine • Make sure teachers are cooperating• Get teacher/friends to remind • Escort student at beginning to learn routine• Provide reinforcements/points for showing up• Make sure intervention has a positive profile in

school & coordinator is well-liked

Troubleshooting: Lost DPR Form• Give a new DPR right away• If chronic, find out how school can improve program
