Why School-wide PBS?Why School-wide PBS?
Preventing high-risk behaviors. . . is not the same as preparation for the future. … There must be an equal commitment to helping young people understand life's challenges and responsibilities and to developing the necessary skills to succeed as adults. What is needed is a massive conceptual shift — from thinking that youth problems are merely the principal barrier to youth development, to thinking that youth development serves as the
most effective strategy for the prevention of youth problems (Pittman,1991).

• Intensive social skills teaching• Self-management programs• Parent training and collaboration• School based adult mentors • Increased academic support and practice• Alternatives to out-of-school suspension• Community and service learning
• Effective Academic Support• Social skills teaching• Positive, proactive discipline• Teaching school behavior expectations• Active supervision and monitoring• Positive reinforcement systems• Firm, fair, and corrective discipline• Effective classroom management• Community and service learning

• The question: Can the computer deliver adaptable implementation in terms of context and processes without loss of fidelity to both evidence- based content and proven effective practices? In other words will it work?
• Can one match the right strategy and the right teaching method to each student’s needs and abilities
• To answer: 10 years of research on a Computerized SEL intervention developed by the originator of the Second Step curriculum
• And How do I do it?
Good ideas = good programs, Good ideas = good programs, right?right?Sometimes, but most programs that work in research settings are:• Expensive• Not Scalable • Not Sustainable• Not culturally relevant
Evidence says Technology Can Evidence says Technology Can HelpHelp• Insure fidelity to EBP, the expertise is in the
box• Deliver differentiated instruction• Match instruction to students’ learning styles• Engage youth with peer instruction• Minimize in-service time (8 15-minute
sessions)
What does the researchWhat does the research1show?show?
In RCT and Q-Ex, baseline equivalent studies vs a control
Tier 1. 6-12 contact hours of course usage delvers significant improvement in resiliency assets and GPA for Primary interventions
Tier 2. 12 hours of course usage in five schools (1/2 assigned, 1/2 student choice) delivered significant GPA increase and suspension reduction and reduction in targeted disciplinary infractions and improvement for secondary interventions
Tier 3. 6 hours of course usage in one “at-risk”high school delivered significant reduction depression and academic and disciplinary outcomes very positive not exclusively due to Ripple Effects
