Presentation Notes

Positive Behaviour for Learning Public Schools NSW

The Benchmarks for Advanced Tiers (BAT) is designed to answer three questions:

1. Are the foundational (organisational) elements in place for implementing targeted and intensive behaviour support practices?

2. Is a Tier 2 support system in place?

3. Is a Tier 3 system in place?

Benchmarks for Advanced Tiers (BAT)


The BAT allows school teams to self-assess the implementation status of Tier 2 Targeted and Tier 3 Intensive behaviour support systems within their school in the following areas…



BAT Focus Areas

PART 1 - Foundations Implementation of School-wide PBL (A)

Commitment (B)

Student Identification (C)

Monitoring and Evaluation (D)


BAT Focus Areas

PART 2 - Tier 2 Targeted Group Interventions Support Systems (E)

Main Tier 2 Strategy - Implementation (F)

Main Tier 2 Strategy - Monitoring and Evaluation (G)


BAT Focus Areas

PART 3 - Tier 3 Intensive Individualised Interventions Intensive Support Systems (H)

Tier 3 Assessment and Plan Development (I)

Tier 3 Monitoring and Development (J)


School teams can use the BAT to develop an action plan to identify the next steps in the implementation process When used over time, scores in each area can be tracked to show progress



Who: The BAT is completed by the team involved with Tier 2 Targeted Group Interventions

and Tier 3 Intensive Individualised Interventions behaviour support and reflects the consensus of team members

Instructions for Completing


How: The BAT is completed by the team either as a group or by each member independently

If completed independently, the team then

reconvenes to review scores and reach consensus for each item



Tier 2: Items 18 - 31 Items 18 – 31 are completed for the most common

Tier 2 strategy in use

Using the final 2 pages of the BAT, these items can be repeated to assess other interventions for planning and evaluation purposes, however only the scores associated with the most commonly used Tier 2 strategy will be included in your BAT score



Scoring: Score each item -

2 = fully in place 1 = partially in place, i.e. in progress or 0 = not yet started

The BAT Scoring Guide describes what ‘fully in place’, ‘partially in place’ and ‘not yet started’ looks like for each item

Instructions for Scoring


BAT Scoring Guide

A Tier 1: Implementation of School-wide PBL 2 - Fully in Place 1 - Partially in Place 0 - Not Yet Started Circle

Appropriate Score

1. School-wide PBL, Tier 1/Universal intervention is in place as measured by scores on the SET, TIC or BoQ.

80% or more on BoQ, SET or TIC.

Score greater than 40% on any of these measures.

Score equal to or less than 40% on any of these measures.

2 1 0

2. Team members agree that school-wide PBL is in place and is implemented consistently by teachers and staff.

Team members agree that school-wide PBL is in place and is implemented consistently by over 80% of all teachers and staff.

Team members state that school-wide PBL is implemented consistently by 50-80% of teachers and staff.

Team members state that school-wide PBL is implemented consistently by less than 50% of teachers and staff.

2 1 0

3. A data system is in place for documenting office discipline referrals that includes (a) problem behaviour, (b) time of day, (c) location, (d) possible motivation, (e) others involved, and (f) executive decision taken as a result of the problem behaviour.

The system includes all 6 features.

The system includes 4-5 features.

The system includes 3 or fewer features or is not in place. 2 1 0

Foundations for Tiers 2 and 3

B Commitment 2 - Fully in Place 1 - Partially in Place 0 - Not Yet Started Circle

Appropriate Score

4. There is crossover membership and/or communication that informs the Tier 1 team of the status of Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports.

Tier 1 team is aware of the number of students, fidelity, and progress of students receiving Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports.

Tier 1 team is aware of one or two components, but not all three.

Tier 1 team is unaware of the number of students, fidelity and progress of students receiving Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports.

2 1 0

5. A team/individual makes decisions about students receiving Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports.

A team/individual makes decisions about students receiving Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports (who should receive what support).

Decisions are made regarding Tier 2 and 3 supports but not formally or consistently.

No team/individual is established to determine Tier 2 and Tier 3 support for students.

2 1 0


BAT results are summarised as a percentage of focus area implementation scores for each of the three parts 1. To calculate the focus area implementation scores

a. Use the Scoring Summary template to record the total number of points in each focus area (A through J)

b. In each focus area, divide the total points received by the total possible points and multiply by 100 to calculate each score as a percentage

Part 1 - Foundations Part 2 - Tier 2 Targeted Part 3 - Tier 3 Intensive

1. Focus Area Implementation

Scores

A /6 = % E /10 = % H /24 = %

B /6 = % F /20 = % I /20 = %

C /8 = % G /8 = % J /6 = %

D /4 = %

2. Implementation Score for each

BAT Part

Add %’s for A-D and divide by 4

Foundations: ______ %

Add %’s for E-G and divide by 3

Tier 2: _______ %

Add %’s for H-J and divide by 3

Tier 3: ______ %



C /8 = % G /8 = % J /6 = %

D /4 = %


BAT Part




Tier 2: _______ %


Tier 3: ______ %

3. Overall Implementation

Score

Add Part I + Part 2 + Part 3 implementation score percentages and divide by 3 = Overall Implementation Score

__________________________ %

2. To calculate the implementation score for each part of the BAT, add the percentages for each of the focus areas and divide by the number of focus areas in each part

Note - Part I has four focus areas and Parts 2 and 3 each have three focus areas




BAT Part




Tier 2: _______ %


Tier 3: ______ %

3. Overall Implementation

Score

Add Part I + Part 2 + Part 3 implementation score percentages and divide by 3 = Overall Implementation Score

__________________________ %

3. To calculate the overall implementation score, add the total percentages for Part I, Part 2 and Part 3 and divide by 3


Additional Tier 2 Interventions

Items 18 – 31 may be used to review all Tier 2

strategies in use However, only the scores associated with the most

commonly used Tier 2 strategy will be included in your BAT score


Using the BAT Results

School teams should use the BAT to build an action plan to define next steps in the implementation process

The BAT can also assess progress over time, as scores

on each area can be tracked on a year to year basis


Using the Data for Action Planning
