How is our PBIS team

functioning?

Team Implementation Checklist

Is used to evaluate the extent of the team

implementation process

Is used to identify remaining implementation needs

Is used to assess the success of the implementation process

Team Implementation Checklist (TIC)

Teams complete the TIC monthly

Results shared with all school personnel

Will evaluate progress toward meeting PBIS goals

Team Implementation Checklist (TIC)

Is used annually to assess the effective

behavior support systems in a school. The survey examines the status and need for improvement of four behavior support systems: School-wide discipline systems

Non-classroom management systems (e.g., cafeteria, hallway, playground),

Classroom management systems

Systems for individual students engaging in chronic problem behaviors

Self-Assessment Survey (SAS)

Current Status Feature Priority for Improvement

In Place Partial in Place

School-wide is defined as involving all students, all staff, & all settings.

High Med Low

1 . A small number (e.g. 3-5) of positively & clearly stated student expectations or rules are defined.

2. Expected student behaviors are taught directly.

3. Expected student behaviors are rewarded regularly.

4. Problem behaviors (failure to meet expected student behaviors) are defined clearly.

5. Consequences for problem behaviors are defined dearly.

Self-Assessment Survey SAS

1 - Establish Team Membership

2 – Develop Behavior Purpose Statement

3 – Identify Positive SW Expectations

4 – Develop Lesson Plan for Teaching SW Positive Expectations

5 – Develop Lesson Plans for Teaching Positive CW Expectations

6 – Develop Continuum of Procedures for Encouraging SW

Expectations

7 – Develop Continuum of Procedures for Discouraging Rule

Violations

8 – Develop Procedures for Data-Based Decision-Making &

Monitoring

Eight Steps Planning Guide

The SET is a research-validated

instrument that is designed to assess and evaluate the critical features of

school-wide effective behavior support across an

academic school year.

School-Wide Evaluation Tool (SET)

Assess features that are in place

Determine annual goals

Evaluate on-going efforts

Design and revise procedures

Compare year to year efforts in the area of PBIS

Information Gathered Can Be Used To:

SET Evaluates Questions Across 7 Areas:

Expectations defined

Behavioral expectations taught

Acknowledgement procedures

Correction procedures

Monitoring and evaluation

Management

District-level support

Schedule a 2-3 hour block of time for evaluator Request that administrators inform staff and

students that a SET evaluator will be on site and randomly asking staff and students questions (1-2 minutes per person maximum)

Schedule the administrator interview at the beginning of the visit (approximately 20-30 minutes)

Assure that 3 PBIS team members can be interviewed as part of the 10 staff interviews

Assure that students (15) are randomly available for interviews (2 questions)

School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET)

How to get ready…

School discipline handbook (discipline procedures) Office Discipline Referral Form/positive behavior

acknowledgment systems (SWIS or other) Behavioral incident summaries or reports (e.g., office

referrals, suspensions, expulsions) School improvement plan goals indicating behavior as a

goal Annual Action Plan with timelines for meeting SW-PBIS

goals (PBIS Team) Staff agreements on 3-5 PBIS expectations Teaching matrix, copies of lesson plans for teaching

behavioral expectations If the document has not yet been developed,

just let the evaluator know.

Assemble the Following Documents for the SET…

Choose a staff member (part of

application) Will need training (2-3 hour

webinar & 3 hour reliability check Conduct SET (2-3 hours onsite,

travel, report SET: Fall & Spring

SET Evaluators

Web-based information system for

gathering, entering, summarizing, reporting and using office discipline referral information

Teams use this discipline data to drive the PBIS process in their buildings

SWIS – School Wide Information System

Generally teams look at 5 main graphs

to help them make data-based decisions for their building:

1) Average referrals per day/per month2) Referrals by problem behavior3) Referrals by location4) Referrals by time5) Referrals by student

SWIS – School Wide Information System

All Schools will be set up with

SWIS by

Dec 31st, 2012!
