Using the PBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) E-12

1. Using the PBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI)E-12 Rob Horner & Kelsey Morris University of Oregon www.pbis.org

2. Goals • Introduce a new PBIS Fidelity Measure • Purpose, Format, Functions of TFI • Provide examples of how TIF is being use • With schools • To define “exemplars”

3. Maximizing Your Session Participation • Work with your team • Consider 4 questions: • Where are we in our implementation? • What do I hope to learn? • What did I learn? • What will I do with what I learned?

6. Purpose of the PBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory • The purpose of the School-wide PBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory is to provide an efficient and valid index of the extent to which PBIS core features are in place within a school. • Tier I (Universal PBIS) • Whole School Universal Prevention • Tier II (Targeted PBIS) • Secondary, Small Group Prevention • Tier III (Intensive PBIS) • Tertiary, Individual Support Prevention

7. SWPBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory is a Self-Assessment (done with a COACH) • Primary purpose of the instrument is to help school teams improve • Primary audience for instrument results is the team, faculty, families and administrators of the school. • Effective use of the instrument requires multiple administrations (progress monitoring)

8. Uses of the SWPBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory • Formative Assessment • Determine current PBIS practices in place and needed prior to launching implementation • Progress monitoring • Self-assess PBIS practices by tier to guide implementation efforts, and assess progress by tier • Build action plan to focus implementation efforts • Annual Self-Assessment • Self-assess annually to facilitate sustained implementation of PBIS • State Recognition • Determine schools warranting recognition for their fidelity of PBIS implementation.

9. Access • Currently on www.fieldtest.pbisassessment.org • Will be transitioned to • www.pbisassessment.org

10. Technical Adequacy

11. Usability Testing On-Going

12. Summary Data and Reports Note: Pending Beta Test we continue to use the 80% benchmark at each tier to indicate “implementation at criterion” • Total Score • Subscale • Sub-subscale • Individual Items

13. Total score (TFI)

14. Sub-scale report

15. Sub-subscale report • Tier I • Teams • Implementation • Evaluation • Tier II • Teams • Interventions • Evaluation • Tier III • Teams • Resources • Assessment • Support plan • Monitoring and adaptation

31. Evaluation— SWIS was installed for data collection and analysis

32. Riverbend Action Planning • TFI “subgroup” completed the TFI and developed goals and action items for subcommittees • Subcommittees for: 1.3 & 1.4 Behavioral Expectations & Teaching Expectations 1.6 Discipline Policies 1.9 Feedback & Acknowledgement 1.11 Student/Family/Community Involvement • TFI “subgroup” members led subcommittee work • Communication • Recruiting workers • Setting meetings

33. Riverbend Action Planning • Behavioral Expectations • Established school-wide behavior matrix • Drafted lesson plans • Designed and ordered signage • Discipline Policies • Established a response to problem behavior flowchart • Established a student-friendly flowchart • Developed training on referral form completion and problem behavior definitions • Feedback & Acknowledgement • Established a system for how an individual’s acknowledgement benefits the group (e.g., Party in a Bucket) • Created signage to advertise the acknowledgement system • Established language to be used by all staff when delivering acknowledgement • Student/Family/Community Involvement • Established calendars that can be distributed to all families; each month of the calendar highlights a different PBIS component • Developed a survey to garner community feedback Subcommittees prepared 20-30 minute rollout trainings for all staff

37. Evaluation— SWIS was installed for data collection and analysis

38. Hamlin Action Planning • PBIS Team used TFI results to identify items of importance 1.3 & 1.4 Behavioral Expectations & Teaching Expectations 1.6 Discipline Policies (e.g., flowchart) 1.9 Feedback & Acknowledgement (e.g., menu of reinforcers) • PBIS Team worked on items during team meetings • Solicited feedback from whole faculty • Revised as needed • Created lesson plans to teach all staff the aspects of school-wide PBIS during in-service week
