Day 1

ObjectivesTeams will…

Create a plan for how the tier 1 and tier 2 teams will collaborate to train and provide ongoing support for staff in using the principles of behavior

Define the six features of tier 2 interventions and their connection to tier 1 Analyze current interventions and articulate where they match features of tier 2 interventions

Key Takeaways Team members are responsible for supporting staff in carrying out interventions, not carrying them out Classroom teacher is required on student-centered leadership teams Tier 2 Interventions

o Targeted, group-based support for some studentso Intervention is similar for all students based on need, not that all students receive intervention

togethero Connected to tier 1o Includes the six featureso Team driveno Potential examples include:

CICO Social Skills

(friendship groups, lunch bunches, etc.) Academic Seminar-type Class Mindfulness Groups Mentoring

Critical ThinkingTeams must act as critical thinkers and ask themselves:

Are the six features evident and maintained? Does the intervention align with tier 1 practices? Is there team oversight or is it person-dependent? How will we train and support all staff to be skilled in implementing? Remain cautious of quick fixes

o Online resourceso Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS) that creates inability to finish, poor directives, costs resources,

and confuses stakeholders

Vignette: Anytown Elementary School

Anytown Elementary School completed PBIS Tier 1 training in October of 2013. In the fall, the staff takes the Self-Assessment Survey (SAS) and the team takes the Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) in the spring. The Tier 1 PBIS team creates and implements an annual action plan based on the SAS and BoQ scores. According to the BoQ, the team has been implementing above 70% (fidelity) for the past two years. They also have a 4th/5th-grade student council committee that gives the tier 1 team feedback on implementation and provides ideas for acknowledgments.

The tier 1 team updates staff members on the annual action-plan during monthly staff meetings, through emails, and by posting recent data trends in common areas like staff bathrooms. The staff knows they can contact team members with questions, and provide additional feedback through short action plan surveys throughout the year. The PBIS Tier 1 team believes in the work and wants to continue PBIS, but feels that sometimes PBIS is not given enough time at staff meetings and is overshadowed by “new initiatives” like the new reading curriculum, intervention blocks, and social-emotional learning curriculum. Each new initiative has a separate team to guide the implementation of it.

Anytown Elementary School collects office and classroom referral data (majors and minors). Staff members are confused by what constitutes an office referral versus a classroom referral. To clarify, the dean of students sent out the behavior flow-chart and behavior definitions that were created by the PBIS team at PBIS Tier 1 training. Some staff are not documenting classroom behaviors/minors for reasons like they think it takes too much time, or they do not see the point. They are getting frustrated and sending students out in the hallway or to the office with no documentation to follow.

Anytown Elementary School has a school-wide matrix that was created by the PBIS team during tier 1 training. A small team of teachers recently attended a PBIS workshop and learned about integrating academic behaviors into their school-wide matrix. They are revising their school-wide matrix to include a learning category, paring down the number of common areas, and revising the rules under each area. Additionally, they are refining classroom matrices to be consistent among grade levels since students switch classrooms and teachers for subjects throughout the week.

School-wide behavioral lessons are taught during the first two days of school in every common location through a rotating schedule. Other social-emotional skills and those listed in the matrix are taught and re-taught as necessary once a month during all-school assemblies. Some teachers reference the lesson plans throughout the week and enhance them by making connections to curriculum and related academic skills.

Anytown has used stamp cards as part of their acknowledgment system since they created it during tier 1 training. Students receive a stamp when they are demonstrating the expected behaviors. When they get eight stamps, they can turn their card in for various prize drawings (positive phone call home, animal erasers, or the annual drawing to be principal for a day). The PBIS team encourages staff to stamp students’ cards frequently for the targeted behavior, and then fade the number of stamps they give for that behavior in the following weeks. There is some concern that staff is using the stamp cards in different ways. For example, some give out stamps randomly for a variety of behaviors or for “above and beyond” behaviors only, some do not use the stamp cards at all. Others use the stamp cards in an “if this then you get a stamp” way. There is staff that uses them they have been told to by the PBIS team. Some classroom teachers link the stamps within their classroom management system, and others do not. Students can only sometimes recall the reason why they received a stamp, and many older students think the cards are “babyish.”

Anytown Elementary School’s PBIS team meets monthly for an hour after school. At this meeting, they work on action plan items and, if time permits, review school-wide behavior data (office referrals, classroom referrals, and attendance). Data is pulled ahead of time by the school psychologist and brought to the meeting. The team generates precision statements based on the data (what, where, who, when, why) and creates plans based on prevention, teaching, and acknowledgment. One thing the team has noticed is that they are often creating new precision statements and plans and rarely reviewing the current ones. Once plans have been created they are shared in a 10-minute meeting with the staff to implement.

Based on student outcome data, the team feels that their Universal System (tier 1) is solidly in place. The team disaggregated their majors and minors to look for trends within student groups. The initial consensus of the team is that the groups of students receiving a higher number of referrals were comprised of a small number of students who must need tier 2 interventions specifically targeting the behavioral errors of “disrespect” and “disruption.” Upon closer look, the team decided that there were questions about whether or not staff taught classroom and school-wide behaviors related to respect and responsibility. Therefore, the team decided to review fidelity of instruction with all staff. The school psychologist asked the team if families would define respect and responsibility at home, so they are going to reach out to families to learn more and determine next steps.

Anytown Elementary School uses parent-teacher conferences to connect with families and their Parent Teacher Organization for decision-making on school-wide improvements. Each staff member is encouraged to make at least 3 positive phone calls home by Friday to highlight positive improvements or behaviors in school. Some staff does this, others forget. Families have recently shared a concern with how the school is handling discipline. School staff feels that parents/families are not supportive and that they do not follow through regarding at-home discipline issues. The tier 1 team is considering revising their “PBIS Brochure” and re-sending it to parent mid-year to address the families’ questions and concerns.

Anytown Middle School completed PBIS Tier 1 training in October of 2013. In the fall, the staff takes the SAS and the team takes the BoQ in the spring. The Tier 1 PBIS team creates and implements an annual action plan based on the SAS and BoQ scores. According to the BoQ, the team has been implementing above 70% (fidelity) for the past two years. They also have a student PBIS team to inform implementation efforts and provide student voice and feedback.

The tier 1 team updates staff members on the annual action-plan during monthly staff meetings, through emails, and by posting recent data trends in common areas like staff bathrooms. The staff knows they can contact team members with questions, and provide additional feedback through short action plan surveys throughout the year. The PBIS Tier 1 team believes in the work and wants to continue PBIS, but feels that sometimes PBIS is not given enough time at staff meetings and is overshadowed by “new initiatives” like standards-based grading, social skills curriculum, and disciplinary literacy. Each new initiative has a separate team to guide the implementation of it.

Anytown Middle School collects office and classroom referral data (majors and minors). Staff is somewhat confused as to what constitutes an office referral versus a classroom referral. To clarify and so the team can get more meaningful data, the assistant principal sent out the behavior flow-chart and behavior definitions that were created by the PBIS team at PBIS Tier 1 training. Additionally, some staff are not documenting classroom behaviors/minors (takes too much time, do not see the point) and are, instead, getting frustrated and sending students out in the hallway or to the office with no documentation to follow.

Anytown Middle School has a school-wide matrix that was created by the PBIS team during PBIS Tier 1 training. A small team of teachers recently attended a PBIS workshop and learned about integrating academic behaviors into their school-wide matrix for the middle school. They are revising their school-wide matrix to include a learning category, paring down the number of areas, and revising the rules under each area. Additionally, they are also creating classroom matrices that integrate academic enabler and social skills.

School-wide behavioral lessons are taught and re-taught as necessary once a week during advisory. New students and incoming sixth graders are taught school-wide lessons during orientation before the school year. Some teachers reference the lesson plans throughout the week and enhance them by making connections to coursework and related academic skills.

Anytown has used stamp cards as part of their acknowledgment system since they created it during tier 1 training. Students receive a stamp when they are demonstrating the expected behaviors. When they get 8 stamps, they can turn their card in for various prize drawings (positive phone call home, “jump the line” at lunch, use of electronics in study hall, event tickets). The PBIS team encourages staff to stamp students’ cards frequently for the targeted behavior, and then fade the number of stamps they give for that behavior in the following weeks. There is some concern that staff are using the stamp cards in different ways. Some give out

12

stamps randomly for a variety of behaviors or for “above and beyond” behaviors only. Others do not use the stamp cards at all. Some use them in an “if this then you get a stamp” way. Some teachers use them as they have been told to by the PBIS team. Students only sometimes recall the reason why they received a stamp.

Anytown Middle School’s PBIS team meets monthly for an hour after school. At this meeting, they work on action plan items and, if time permits, review school-wide behavior data (office referrals, classroom referrals, and attendance). Data is pulled ahead of time by the math teacher and brought to the meeting. The team generates precision statements based on the data (what, where, who, when, why) and creates plans based on prevention, teaching, and acknowledgment. One thing the team has noticed is that they are often creating new precision statements and plans and rarely reviewing the current ones.

The school social worker has suggested connecting with students to learn how they would define “using positive actions and words” and “actively listening to the speaker.”

Anytown Middle School uses parent-teacher conferences to connect with families and their Parent Teacher Organization for decision-making on school-wide improvements.

Anytown High School has a school-wide matrix that was created by the PBIS team during PBIS Tier 1 training. A small team of teachers recently attended a PBIS High School Workshop and learned about contextualizing their school-wide matrix for the high school. They are revising their school-wide matrix (see attached) to include a learning category, pare down the number of areas, and revise the rules under each area. Additionally, they are also creating classroom matrices that integrate college and career ready skills including academic engagement, mindsets, learning processes, and interpersonal engagement (see example attached).

School-wide behavioral lessons are taught and re-taught as necessary once a week during homeroom. New students and freshmen are taught school-wide lessons during orientation before the school year. Some teachers reference the lesson plans throughout the week and enhance them by making connections to coursework and related academic skills.

Anytown has used stamp cards as part of their acknowledgment system since they created it during tier 1 training. Students receive a stamp when they are demonstrating the expected behaviors. When they get 8 stamps they can turn their card in for various prize drawings (preferred parking spot, “jump the line” at lunch, use of electronics in study hall, event tickets).

Activity: Your School’s Universal System

Directions: As a group, review your school’s data including:

o What is the percentage of students enrolled in your school disaggregated by gender, special education status, and race?

…so they include all six intervention features, training, and supporting stakeholders.

Key Takeaways Check in Check Out

Prevents and reduces the severity of behavioral error, builds on school-wide expectations and the features of tier 2 interventions with a focus on students demonstrating appropriate behavior

o Easiest to implement quickly and fadeo Efficiento Increases student fluencyo Provides increased structureo Predictabilityo Positive start and end of school dayo Continuously available for student participationo Increases student connection to adults in the buildingo More opportunities for positive interactions and feedback throughout the day

Modified Check in Check OutGeneric, pre-designed enhancements applied to Check-In Check-Out that provide additional support and meets student-specific needs

Examples: o Purposeful change check-in location or time o One specific adult has scheduled check-in

times with the student throughout the day o Peer support in addition to adult supporto Goal modificationo Prompts added

Day 3 ObjectivesTeams will create a plan for how they will develop or refine:• Social Academic Instruction Groups• Mentoring

…so they include all six intervention features, training, and supporting stakeholders.

Key TakeawaysSocial Academic Instruction Groups (SAIGs) - Assist students in acquiring and building fluency in appropriate behaviors

SAIG is most appropriate for students who need to acquire additional social skills that are missing from their repertoire

SAIG teaches skills that are connected with and supplemental to the universal curriculum Overview of what SAIG can be, do. Support

o Teach and shape prosocial behaviorso Verbal and nonverbalo Provide opportunities to practice in the natural setting with supporto Scaffold teaching and provide transfer of learning to natural environmento Delivery is consistent across studentso Students do not have to be in a group to access Social Academic Instruction

Social Academic Skills areo Are learned behaviorso Include specific verbal and nonverbal behaviorso Require both initiations and responseso Are interactive by natureo Are highly contextual and depend on environment

Mentoring – Greek for enduring, it is a sustained relationship between a youth and an adult Mentoring is most appropriate for students who need additional engagement with a

supportive adult at school Through continued involvement, the adult offers support, guidance, and assistance that are

connected to the universal level School-based mentoring is more task oriented in nature than community-based mentoring

o Consider the balance between relationship building and accomplishing tasks Developmental level of the student Needs of the mentee Perception of relationship and its purpose

49

Remaining task oriented will make it easier to fade and maintain natural supportsActivity: Who

Directions: The data you brought with you today (and used to complete the poster) is reviewed in this activity Answer the questions below

1. For the general population determine the percf students by group (gender, race/ethnicity, special education status):

2. For students accessing tier 2etermine the percentage for each group (gender, race/ethnicity, special education status):

3. How does this data compare to the underserved populations identified on day 1? Is it reflective of the same population, or different?

Vignette: Brief Functional Behavior Assessment- Mark

BACKGROUNDMark is a social student who is talkative and enjoys interacting with friends and adults at school. He is advanced in math and reading. Mark is creative and likes to build complex structures out of Legos and blocks. Mark also likes to take academic assignments and make them more challenging by adding additional steps and challenges (for example, instead of copying a word he will write it in a sentence).

CURRENT INFORMATIONMark is currently receiving the Check-In Check-Out (CICO) intervention based on minors in the area of classroom disruption. These typically look like Mark standing up out of his desk or carpet area, not raising his hand, and making loud on topic comments to contribute to the group discussion. This behavior is most likely to occur when the teacher is explaining a concept that is new to the class but not new to Mark. Typically, when the behavior occurs, the teacher thanks Mark for sharing and reminds him to raise his hand and stay in his seat. If Mark continues to make comments, the teacher has Mark take a break with her. Mark typically takes his break as directed and is able to rejoin the class.

This pattern of behavior increases on days when there are numerous transitions and/or a large amount of peer work in the morning. Twice this school year, Mark’s mom has emailed the teacher stating that Mark work up particularly early that morning. On those days, there are a higher number of documented minor referrals for Mark for disruption.

OTHER INFORMATIONThe school-wide expectations are “Be Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn.” Mark started with CICO and the data trend line indicated negative progress. The team decided to enhance CICO by individualizing CICO with two specific goals “I will raise my hand” and “I will follow directions.” The goal for Ready to Learn remains generic.

Mark reports a positive experience in CICO and enjoys seeing the greeter in the morning.

DATA (last 45 days)Current intervention: CICO, enhanced with two specific goals (Individualized CICO)DPR Average range: 30% (consistent average since beginning tier 2 support with CICO)Minors: 4 (in addition to the 3 qualified him for CICO)Majors: NoneAttendance: 100%Suspension: 0Math: AdvancedReading: Advanced

Vignette: Brief Functional Behavior Assessment Information- Elsa

BACKGROUNDElsa is a friendly, social student who is often seen trying to engage other students who feel left out, or lonely. She is proficient in math and reading. She likes building things out of varied materials (whatever she can get her hands on – paperclips, erasers, paper, and other found objects).

CURRENT INFORMATIONElsa is currently receiving the Check-In Check-Out intervention based on minors in the area of classroom disruption. These typically look like Elsa making side comments to peers, off-topic, and to the whole class which the other students typically find funny and laugh aloud about. Some of the students will comment back with another off-topic comment and pretty soon the whole class is laughing and off topic. Five of her seven teachers have documented minors because of this behavior. Typically, when the behavior occurs, teachers redirect Elsa to keep her comments to herself, which leads to Elsa making additional comments to the class. Teachers have also tried to ignore the behavior by continuing with the lesson (it has no impact). The teachers have also tried modifying her seat in the back or front corners of the room, but the comments continue and have even increased. The behavior is not often documented in her art class where she is able to both create artwork and talk with peers during work time. The target behavior is also absent during ELA when she can work collaboratively with peers. This pattern of behavior sometimes increases on days that Elsa is tardy to 1st hour. During class, the behavior is more likely to occur during whole group instruction longer than 5 minutes and during independent work. When the teacher asks a question of the group, Elsa frequently responds with a comment intended to make her peers laugh.

MORE INFORMATIONThe school-wide expectations are “Be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe.” Elsa started with CICO and the data trend line indicated no progress. The team decided to enhance CICO by individualizing CICO with a specific Respect goal “I will raise my hand and wait to be called on before offering a comment to the class.” Elsa has a second individualized goal for Responsible of, “I will keep side comments to myself.” The goal for Safe remains generic. Elsa reports a positive experience in CICO and enjoys seeing the greeter in the morning. She reports that most of the teachers do not like her and they are “always all over me and they don’t correct the other students” and “other students say things in class and they don’t get called out.” Elsa thinks the teachers take the class “too seriously” and need to “relax” so that the students have more time to talk with each other.
