General Process for Tier 2 Systems
1. Establish Behavior Support Team to guide/lead process (not the same as your PBIS Leadership team.
2. Secure & establish behavioral competence within school
3. Develop/strengthen three level system of school-wide behavior support:• Universal Interventions• Secondary Interventions • Individual Interventions
General Process Cont’d
4. Establish data decision system for matching level of intervention to student• Simple & direct request for assistance process for staff• Data decision rule for requesting assistance based on
number of major behavioral incidents
5. Establish a continuous data-based system to monitor, evaluate, & improve effectiveness & efficiency • Are students displaying improved behaviors?• Are staff implementing procedures with high fidelity?• What can be modified to improve outcomes?• What can be eliminated to improve efficiency?

Tier 2 Guiding Principles
´ Students who are at-risk students benefit from:´clearly defined expectations´ frequent feedback from supportive adults´Consistency and predictability´Abundant positive reinforcement
Problem behavior and academic success are often linked
´ Behavior support begins to develop effective adult-student relationships

Important Themes´ Part of a continuum
´link to school-wide PBIS system
´ Efficient and effective way to identify students
´Assessment allows you to make a simple sort´match students to interventions
´ Intervention matched to presenting problem but not highly individualized
Tier 2 Interventions(Hawken, Vincent, & Schumann, 2008).
´ Assumes Tier 1 School wide PBIS is in place – TFI, BOQ
´ Involves a problem-solving focused behavior support team
´ Screening to identify a % of students in need of more than Tier 1 supports
´ Readily available and easily accessible
´ Low time commitment from teaching staff
´ Adequate resources allocated (admin, team)
´ Uses efficient, available evidence based practices
´ Includes data-based progress monitoring & decisions
´ Have an entry, progress monitoring & exit criteria, with non-responders moving to Tier 3
´ Begin SE screening only once Tier 2 team is established and strategies for following up on data are identified

Tier 2: Sample Small Group Interventions
´Social Skills Groups (Redefining Counselor Groups)
´Check In/Check Out, Check, Connect & Expect etc.
´Executive Functioning Skill Groups´Learning Strategies and Study Skills´Academic Support Groups´Homework Support´Self-Monitoring ´Mentoring
Goal of Tier 2 InterventionsTo Make A Problem
Behavior:´ Ineffective´ Inefficient ´ Irrelevant ´ Unstable
* Some of this occurs through changes to the environment.
Teach a prosocial replacement behavior that is MORE´ Effective´ Efficient´ Relevant´ Stable Than the problem behavior!
8/2/16

WHAT is Appropriate for Secondary versus Tertiary Intervention?
APPROPRIATE– Low-level problem
behavior (not severe)
– 2-5 referrals or internalizing issues
– Behavior occurs across multiple locations
– Examplesü talking outü minor disruptionü work completion
INAPPROPRIATE– Serious or violent
behaviors/ infractions– Extreme chronic behavior
(6+ referrals)– Require more
individualized supportü FBA-BIP ü Wrap Around Services

Step 1: Tier 2 – Building the Support Team
Establishing the Tier 2 Team
´ This team monitors implementation of Tier 2 supports in your building
´ May be part of the existing PBIS leadership team.
´ May be an extension of the existing PBIS leadership team.
´ May be a stand alone team, often these teams look at Tier 2 & 3.* Such a team may already exist in
your school - SIT team, Care team, MDT team.

Important Theme
A common misperception is that these strategies will “fix” the student and the classroom teacher does not need to be an active participant since “specialists” or outside staff are often involved in the intervention –Important to stress that these interventions will require high level of involvement among ALL staff within the school building

Challenges to Tier 2/Tier 3
´Students´Problem behaviors are high intensity
&/or frequency´Interventions appear ineffective´Too many students display significant
problem behavior at any one time´Problem behaviors are disrupting
learning & teaching environments´Problem behaviors are difficult to
understand
Challenges to Tier 2/Tier 3´Schools
´Can be challenging to collect information and develop interventions
´Administrative leadership & support is lacking, unavailable, or underdeveloped
´Staff are unable or untrained to implement interventions
´Overemphasis on form, policy, or regulation rather than on process
´Lack of continuum of positive behavior support

21
Team Work: Reviewing Foundational Tier Two Implementation
´ Look at pages 8-10 and discuss the readiness of your Tier 2 team.
´ Discuss the Tier 2 PBS meeting review checklist´ What aspects of the team are already in place?´ Which aspects the process need to be
strengthened?´ Are there any challenges that will need to be
addressed as you move forward with this team?

Language deficits connected to significant behavior problems
´ 71% (or 3 out of 4) of students with EBD have concurrent language deficits
´ 57% (or 2 out of 3) students with language deficits were also found to be identified as EBD ´71% had pragmatic language deficits
(language use)´64% displayed expressive deficits (language
choice)´56% receptive deficits (language
understanding) (Benner, Nelson, and Epstein, 2002)

Knowing Function of Behavior to Determine Intervention
Is Behavior Functional?
8/2/16
26
What is Function Anyway?
Humans repeat behavior because in some way it meets a need. Usually:
To OBTAIN or GET something we want: Attention (positive or negative) from peers and/or adults, or things like money, toys, stuff
To AVOID something we don’t want: Attention (positive or negative) from peers and/or adults, Tasks or other activities that we don’t like.
Research has shown that the more often a behavior meets it’s function, the more
often it will occur.
Only Two Basic Behavior Functions
ProblemBehavior
Obtain/GetSomething
Escape/Avoid
Something
Social Tangible/Activity
Adult
Stimulation/Sensory

Function of Behavior
We Also Have To Think Functionally When Choosing Interventions
´“Problem Behaviors” are functional skills for students
´ Interventions must consider the purpose of behavior (from student’s perspective) and address the same need as efficiently and effectively
´Seek a match from school’s intervention menu for the needs of each individual student

Why Bother? Why Screen for Emotional/Behavioral issues?
´Academic success inextricably linked to social/behavioral skills´Five predictor variables concerning
student skills or behaviors related to success in school: (a) prior achievement, (b) interpersonal skills, (c) study skills, (d) motivation, and (e) engagement (DiPerna and Elliott,1999, 2000)
´Move beyond traditional “wait to fail” model common in schools towards a more proactive approach (Glover & Albers, 2007)
´ Identify students with socio-emotional needs in a proactive manner
´Assists in decision-making related to limited school resources (Walker, Cheney, Stage, & Blum, 2005)
´ Preventative supports reduce the need for more intensive supports later (Cheney & Stage, in press; Walker, Cheney, Stage, & Blum, 2005)

Two Broad Types of Emotional/Behavioral Concerns
ExternalizingFeelings/Issues are acted out on others´ Argues´ Disruptive´ Aggressive´ Defiant´ Destructive
InternalizingFeelings/Issues are held in and focused on the self´ Very withdrawn´ Depressed´ Extremely shy´ Self-injurious´ High levels of anxiety
Externalizing Behaviors� Behaviors focused outward
towards others or environment� Typically occur too often or too
much� Examples:
´aggression towards people, animals or things
´arguing, defiant or non-compliant´calling out or disruptive´Hyperactivity´Destructive
8/2/16
34
Internalizing Behaviors´ Behaviors focused inwardly toward self
´ Typically self-imposed, may not occur frequently, and appear to allow the student to avoid social events
´ Examples: ´ Not interacting with other people´ Withdrawing or frequently avoiding social situations ´ Overly shy or timid´ Often fearful or submissive´ Appears depressed´ Self harm at most intensive
Office Discipline Referrals´ Implemented widely in SWPBS where 2-5 ODR
considered threshold for at-risk (Horner et al., 2005)
´ Often measured using Schoolwide Information System (SWIS; May et al., 2002)
´www.swis.orgBUT- May miss a number of students´ One study found that 35% of students who
qualified as at risk on SSBD did not have multiple ODRs (Walker, Cheney, Stage, & Blum, 2005)
´ May not identify students with many minors but few majors
´ May not reflect that some teachers refer students to the office and some do not

Overview of Student Risk Screening Using SSRS- IE
https://youtu.be/ali98QoPVKA
Issues with Implementation 1: Staff Training and Implementation
For effective screening to occur leadership teams must consider:
´ Identify screening tool that matches context and needs of school/district
´ Can you assure it will be implemented consistently and with fidelity to the instructions and process?
´ General training in behavioral and mental health issues that improves teachers’ understanding of the purpose and content of the screening process, provided prior to implementation (e.g. internalizing vs. externalizing behaviors) as well as potential concerns and misconceptions (Severson, Walker, Hope-Doolittle, Kratchowill & Gresham, 2007)
8/2/16
38
Issues with Implementation 2: Informed Consent, Student Privacy
´Determine threshold for specific informed consent in your district/community´Minimum includes; parents clearly informed
as part of schoolwide academic/social screening, use of passive consent process for screening, outline confidentiality policy and follow up procedures for students who are identified as at-risk, no interventions at that level without informed parental consent
´ Establish procedure to protect student privacy throughout the process
´ Review confidentiality guidelines and follow up procedures with staff

Some Frequently Used Screening Measures
´ Systematic Screening for Behavior Disorders (Walker & Severson, 1992)
´Originally normed K-6, recently normed for middle school students (Calderella, Young, Richardson & Young, 2008)
´Tiered/Multiple gating procedure´Fully completed in 40-60 minutes

40
Student Risk Screening Scale (Drummond, 1993)
´ Originally normed at elementary level, recently normed at middle and high school (Lane, Kalberg, Parks, & Carter, 2008)´Classroom teacher evaluates and assigns
a frequency-based, Likert rating to each student in the class in relation to seven behavioral criteria (lies, cheats, sneaks, steals, behavior problems, peer rejections, low achievement, negative attitude, and aggressive behavior)
´Score indicates the level of risk (low, medium, high)
Brief Academic Competence Evaluation Scales System (BACESS; Elliott, Huai, Roach, 2007)
´ Intended to be a universal screener (cover both academic and academic “enabling” behaviors)´ Phase 1: Criterion referenced Academic Screening
used on ALL students´ Phase 2: 10 items five academic and five academic
enabling behaviors rating of students who passed through phase 1 (from ACES)
´ Phase 3: Teachers complete the entire ACES measure for students with specific cut score (less than 26)
´ Academic Competency Evaluation Scale (ACES; DiPerna and Elliott,1999, 2000) is normed K-12, with teacher forms and student forms for grades 3-12.
