Enhanced Implementation In High Schools Ami Flammini/Steve Romano Technical Assistance Directors Illinois PBIS Network
Session Objective Participants will have an increased understanding of issues facing high school implementation of the PBIS process including curriculum development, readiness, training, tier 2/3 systems and on-going technical assistance.
Premise High schools are different from elementary schools, middle schools and junior high schools, BUT…
They’re not as different as they think they are! The concepts are the same, but the practices may look different
How High Schools Are Different • Size • Expectations of staff • Staff is departmentalized • More groundwork is needed • Teams can become layered • Implementation comes more slowly
The need to work with high schools differently came about through high schools themselves. Increased requests for trainings from high schools. Teams felt trainings were geared toward elementary schools. They were right!
Curriculum Development • Developed a curriculum workgroup with those TACs having high school experience. • Built on lessons learned from ICEPS grant. • Focused on examples from a handful of successful high school implementers.
Readiness More groundwork and time is needed. • Administrative overview • Coaches • Team development • Data audit • Team development • Informing staff • Staff needs assessment
AA540/AS50 (high school emphasis) advertised to HS’s only (10 most FAQs) • In-district meeting-supt., sp. ed director, principals, deans, counselors with TAC/TAD. • Present and review District Readiness Checklist document • Coaching • One school districts=two people for internal/external coach • Two plus schools=one external and 2 internal for each building) • Data-management system, availability of “big 5” data, SWIS, definitions • Options regarding time commitments and compensation for leadership team • TAC meets with External Coach to complete: • District Readiness Checklist including Data Audit • Working Smarter
The building identifies a Universal Leadership Team • Conduct needs assessment for all staff. • Leadership team (including principal) analyzes and shares results of Data Audit and Needs Assessment. • Inform/educate staff (ex. by department, lunch/cpdu’s, leadership team presents, U50, “Creating the Culture” video, planning period meetings, etc., implementing school to assist, share self-assessment results) • Invitation to training per TAD approval
Training • Only high schools in attendance. • High school specific curriculum/binder • Initial two days (U100/200) • One day follow up (U300)
Team Development/Roles Teaching Data Core Team Acknowledgement Communication
On-Going Technical Assistance • Monthly coaches network meetings. • Schools host Face to face Go To Meetings Phone conferences High School Forum State Leadership Conferences
