PSM In ABSSA look at problem solving models

used in our schools…

Introductions

Good Morning! Take a few minutes and begin to list what

you know about PSM, concerns you have, and questions you would like answered.

Be prepared to share your biggest concern with our group.

As you introduce your team, also be prepared to share which famous team your school most likely compares to as you think about implementing PSM.

Overview of PSM

Problem Solving Model

Problem-solving model (PSM)› An approach to developing interventions

and ensuring positive student outcomes, rather than determining failure or deviance (Deno, 1995).

Multiple step Cyclical process

Problem Solving Model (PSM) Defined

What is Problem Solving ?

Framework that focuses on:› Appropriate, targeted instruction matched

to the student’s need› Researched-based teaching strategies › Early intervention/prevention› Accurate assessment with valid, reliable

data› Frequent progress monitoring that drives

instruction and level of intensity› Informed instructional decisions

Problem Solving Model

Data

Problem Solving with School Data

Look at the data from one of our schools. Identify an area of need based on that data.

Develop hypotheses to explain why the problem might be occurring.

Discuss possible solutions to solve the problem. Be sure to give a reason WHY you chose this solution.

Select a solution. Discuss how you would monitor the implementation of your plan.

Discuss how you would know your plan worked.

So what does RtI and PBIS have to do with PSM?

Both solve problems! RtI and PBIS

share a systematic, data driven, leveled approach to intervention based on student needs. In other words, both frameworks utilize problem solving!

Responsiveness to Instruction (RtI) Defined

This model has been developed to assist parents and teachers who need help designing educational solutions for problems that arise in schools.

“RtI focuses on› Measurement of intervention effectiveness› Early identification and early intervention› A graduated series of increasingly intense

interventions guided by data based decision making” - Problem Solving Model in Detail: Preparation for Implementation, Dr. Tom Jenkins

PBIS Defined…

PBIS is a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and

learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior.

Critical Elements

What do PSM schools have in common?

Critical Elements

Universal Screening Core Instruction Tiers of Increasing Support Family Involvement Researched Based Instruction Progress Monitoring/Data Driven

Instruction Fidelity of Implementation/Instruction Increased Collaboration

Core – Tier 1

17

Core instruction is

the programs, strategies,

and/or materials

that are used with ALL

students. Our goal is for core instruction to

meet the needs of at least 80% of our students.

(Batsche, 2010)

Supplemental – Tier II

Tier 2 Instruction is in addition to core instruction and is usually conducted in small groups.

Individualized – Tier III

Instruction …to achieve benchmarks

Tier III instruction is the most intensive level of intervention outside of EC. In many of our schools, remediation teachers are used to implement interventions at this tier.

(Batsche, 2010)

20

(Batsche, 2010)

Progress monitoring, family involvement, and researched based instruction occur throughout the tiers of support. However, the intensity of those elements increase as instructional supports increase.

Why do we need the Problem Solving Model?

Let’s review…

Discuss with your team the essential components of PSM.

Choose 4 people from your team to represent your school and play “PSM Team Feud.”

BREAK

Building a Team

PSM Implementation Team

- Administrator- Grade Level Representatives- EC Representative- School Psychologist- Academic Coach- Remediation Teacher- Student Services

Representative

Team Responsibilities

Oversees PSM process Develops systems to provide structure

for PSM (policies/procedures) Utilizes data to guide instructional

decisions Identifies instructional resources

(Practices) Monitors fidelity of implementation Communicates with other staff and

committees

Defining Roles & Responsibilities

Academic & Behavior Coaches PSM Facilitator Multidisciplinary Representatives Data-base Manager Communication Coordinator Time Keeper Other

Guiding Questions:

Will your team…› have grade level representatives?› have representatives for each tier of

support?› have combinations of both?

If you already implement PBIS, will your team…› have a subcommittee to build structure for

RtI?› have designated meetings to discuss

implementation of both PBIS and RtI?

Team Time

Discuss team members and roles to be filled.

Complete the document and assign members to roles.

LUNCH

Building Consensus

Begin reading “Professional Learning Committees, Data Driven Decision Making, and Response to Intervention” as you return from lunch.

What about all the other initiatives in our district?

Take a minute and discuss the article with your team. › What are things you are being asked to do

already in your building?› Are you able to see how PSM could

facilitate the implementation of those initiatives?

Managing Complex Change

Creating a PSM Vision

1. On a sticky note, jot down your own ideas of what the school of your dreams would look like.

2. Share with your team. Note common terms, ideas, and themes on your large paper.

3. Now create a draft statement for your team using information from steps 1 and 2 to create your team’s vision of the desired state of your school.

4. After reviewing your draft, compose a PSM statement and write it on your large paper.

Team Planning

Creating an action plan

So, what’s next?

Use your action plan to help guide your team in the following:› Making your own overview presentation› Building consensus
