Meeting Mechanics & MIBLSI (Integration)

1. Meeting Mechanics &MIBLSI (Integration) Sue Mack, Muskegon Area ISD Cherrise Benwell, Shiawasee ISD

2. Use for Initial Meeting on Intensive Students • In SIT, Child Study, Student support meetings • During full or half day processing with a floating sub • Individual problem solving meetings with a team

3. Advantages • Time Efficient • Focused on Behavior and Problem Solving • Respects All Ideas • Assigns Responsibilities • Addresses Barriers • Data Driven

4. Use for: • Initial FA/BIP for Intensive students identified by: • SWIS • Parents Suggestion • Teacher Suggestion • Other Data

5. Changing the Way You Do Things • Meeting Mechanics may require a change in how teams do business agendas standing writing on poster board or white boards, markers, timers, minutes (45 minute plan summary), action plans follow up

6. Preparing for the Process • Ensure the collaborative team is in place • Knowledge about the STUDENT • Knowledge about the SETTING • Knowledge about PRINCIPLES OF BEHAVIOR • Possible Participants: • Parents • Teacher(s) • Support Staff • School Social Worker • Provider of Speech / Language • School Psychologist • Teacher • ASD Consultant

7. Developing the TEAMRoles / Responsibilities THE TEAM: Caseload Teacher; Support Staff; Other Relevant Participants

8. Developing the TEAMRoles / Responsibilities Collaborative Team Development

9. Meeting Coordinator/Facilitator • Reviews the process to orientate team members • Ensures all roles are assigned, materials are gathered (white board, markers, timers, computers) • Reviews the rules for the meeting (talk to the board, all ideas are good ideas, develop the best idea in room, leave your hat at the door) • Utilizes the tools that are available ( hands out copy of meeting mechanics summary, magnetic copies of steps of process and rules for meeting together ) • Sign in sheets, email addresses for minutes

14. Problem Identification: 5 minutes Problem Identification Assign Responsibilities Problem Specification Brainstorm Implementation Variables Cluster& Prioritize

15. Problem Identification(5 minutes) • What is the problem? • Open ended form • Democratic- All participants • Prioritize Concerns FBA Process- clear definition of problem behavior, being clear about which problem behavior targeted for intervention

16. Problem Specification 15 minutes Problem Identification Assign Responsibilities Problem Specification Brainstorm Implementation Variables Cluster& Prioritize

17. Problem Specification (15minutes) • More specifically understand the problem • Operational Definitions • Data Analysis • Antecedents Variable Form FBA Process = data, who, where, when… antecedents, triggers including when behavior least likely and most likely to occur

19. Brainstorm, Cluster and Prioritize Problem Identification Assign Responsibilities Problem Specification Brainstorm Implementation Variables Cluster& Prioritize

20. (6-8 minutes) • All Ideas are good ideas • Don’t explain, defend , or convince • Professional Role Elimination • Focus on Developing the Best Idea in the Room

22. Cluster/Prioritize(6 minutes) • Clarify Ideas • Cluster Similar Ideas • Prioritize Ideas through sequencing

26. Problem Identification Assign Responsibilities Problem Specification Brainstorm Implementation Variables Cluster& Prioritize Implementation Variables 6 minutes

27. Implementation Variables(6 minutes) • Identify possible Barriers to Implementation (brainstorm solutions if necessary) • Identify Resources needed to Implement Plan • Determine Data Collection Methods for Evaluation

28. Problem Identification Assign Responsibilities Problem Specification Brainstorm Implementation Variables Cluster& Prioritize Assign Responsibilities 5 minutes

29. Assign Responsibilities(5 minutes) • Team Process • Roles and Functions • Developing Action Plan
