Maximizing Your Session Participation • When Working In 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?
Where are you in the implementation process?Adapted from Fixsen & Blase, 2005

WHERE ARE WE IN THE TRIANGLE? Academic Systems Behavioral Systems • Tier III/Tertiary Interventions 1-5% • Individual students • Assessment-based • High intensity • 1-5% Tier III/Tertiary Interventions • Individual students • Assessment-based • Intense, durable procedures • 5-15 Tier II/Targeted Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Small group interventions • Some individualizing • Tier II/Targeted Interventions 5-15% • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Small group interventions • Some individualizing • Tier I/Universal Interventions 80-90% • All students • Preventive, proactive • 80- 90% Tier I/Universal Interventions • All settings, all students • Preventive, proactive
Tertiary Prevention: Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with High-Risk Behavior Multi-Tiered Framework ~5% Secondary Prevention: Specialized Group Systems for Students with At-Risk Behavior ~15% Primary Prevention: School-/Classroom- Wide Systems for All Students, Staff, & Settings • Students • Staff • Parents • Families ~80% of Students (USDOE OSEP PBIS TA Center, 2010)

Make sure Social Academic Instructional Groups (SAIG)s has a seat at the table.
Understanding Types of GroupsMonitor Data, Select Practice, Install Systems Basic Complex REMEMBER to Consider: structure, skills taught, staff skills, location, and frequency Matched to student need with instructional focus, skilled staff (i.e. group dynamics, content, behavior science, clinical) • Behavior– Core Curriculum taught by teacher daily to all • Small group taught inside classroom weekly by teacher or support teacher • Self-management cards for some students • Pro-Social Skills-Core SEL curriculum • Taught by range of staff with teaching background • Outside of the Classroom • 2/week • Coping Power • Taught by Staff with advanced technical skills • Outside of the Classroom • Daily • Coping Skills- pulled from SEL curriculum • Add emotional regulation feature • Taught by staff with technical skills • Inside of the Classroom • 2/week
Three types of skill-building groups: (vs. therapeutic) 1) Pro-social skills 2) Problem-solving skills 3) Academic Behavior skills Consider having these groups be facilitated be staff other than clinicians! These groups are to develop social skills and are not therapeutic or diagnostic in nature. Perhaps a clinician leads the first round and then models it for another staff member to lead. Best if involves use of Daily Progress Report (generalize) Rolling enrollment- students can enter at any time (and ideally within 3 days of identification) Social Academic Instructional Groups
“Social & Academic Instructional Groups”(sample academic skills group) Daily Progress Report (DPR) Sample NAME:______________________ DATE:__________________ Walk to classKeep hands to self Use appropriate languageRaise hand to speak Bring materials Fill out assignment notebook
Curriculum Considerations • Create your own curriculum using your Tier 1 social/emotional curriculum • Either your previously developed Behavioral Lesson Plans (Cool Tools) or another evidence-based curriculum (i.e. Second Step) • A “re-teaching” or higher dose of what is being given at Tier 1 • Use a ready-made curriculum and pull out lessons based on what your data tells you your youth need • Second Step • Skill Streaming • Coping Cat • Etc. • Connect back to Expectations at Tier 1
