  1. Team-Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Rob Horner, Steve Newton, & Anne Todd University of Oregon Bob Algozzine & Kate Algozzine University of North Carolina at Charlotte

  2. Workshop Objectives • Identify problems in terms of differences between… • Your school’s average Major ODRs/ Minors per school day per month and the national average • Your school’s average Major ODRs/ Minors per school day per month for this year and for corresponding months of the previous year • A desirable trend and an undesirable trend Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  3. Workshop Objectives • Define and clarify problems using SWIS data (ODRs by problem behavior, time, location, & student) • Determine what SWIS Custom Reports are needed to confirm/disconfirm your inferences • Write a precise problem statement that incorporates information about what, when, where, & who Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  4. Workshop Objectives • Develop a hypothesis about why problem is occurring, & write hypothesis statement on P-S Action Plan • Discuss and select solutions to problem, & write solution actions on P-S Action Plan Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  5. Workshop Objectives • Write P-S Action Plan items for team-identified problems, including measurable Goals • Calculate baseline & solution rates for problems • Monitor progress at… • Completing tasks listed in Meeting Minutes • Solving problems listed in P-S Action Plan Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  6. Themes & Assumptions • Decision making is aided by access to data (“data-based decision making”- DBDM) • PBIS Team meetings are a major context for DBDM • Providing instruction on how to embed DBDM in a problem-solving model (TIPS) will result in problem solving that is • Thorough • Logical • Efficient • Effective • Structure of meetings lays foundation for efficiency and effectiveness Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  7. The TIPs Model Identify Problems

  8. “We are all continually faced with a series of great opportunities, brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.” —John Gardner

  9. People aren’t tired from solving problems – they’re are tired from solving the same problem over and over.

  10. Identify Problems Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Model Develop Hypothesis Evaluate and Revise Action Plan . Collect and Use Data Discuss and Select Solutions Develop and Implement Action Plan Problem SolvingMeetingFoundations Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  11. Organizing Discipline Referral (SWIS)Data for Decision-making • Universal Screening Tool • Proportion of students with • 0-1 Office Discipline Referrals (ODRs) • 2-5 ODRs • 6+ ODRs • Progress Monitoring Tool • Compare data across time • Prevent previous problem patterns • Define Problems with precision that lead to solvable problems Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  12. Using the Referrals by Student report as a Universal Screening Tool Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  14. Using office discipline referrals as a metric for universal screening of student social behavior 6+ office discipline referrals 2-5 office discipline referrals ~5% ~15% 0-1 office discipline referral ~80% of Students Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  15. Using ODRs to Identify Problems • Build a picture for the pattern of office referrals in your school. • Compare the picture with a national average • Compare the picture with previous years • Compare the picture with social standards of faculty, families, students. • Goal • Identify problems empirically • Identify problems early • Identify problems in a manner that leads to problem solving not just whining Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B. (2009). The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Training Manual. Educational and Community Supports, University of Oregon unpublished training manual.

  16. Problems & Problem Solving • PBIS Teams focus on social and academic problems • Problem – Difference between expected/desired student behavior & current student behavior • Problem identification - Finding a difference & making decision about whether it is significant enough to require team action now • Problem solving – Figuring out how to eliminate or reduce difference Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B.

  37. Finding Differences(Identifying Trends of the Problem) • Look for Difference Between… • A “desirable” trend - Major ODRs per school day per month are decreasing, or are flat at an acceptable level, and • An “undesirable” trend – Major ODRs per school day per month are increasing, or are flat at an unacceptable level Newton, J.S., Todd, A.W., Algozzine, K, Horner, R.H. & Algozzine, B.
