  1. Building Trainer Competencies within SWPBS Rob Horner and Steve Goodman

  2. Goals • Logic for investing in Trainer development • For state leadership teams developing action plan • For individuals identified as state trainers (or state trainer to be) • Core Trainer Skills/ Competencies • Sustaining Trainer Capacity • Practical Example of how this is done in Michigan

  3. Visibility Political Support Funding Policy Leadership Team Active Coordination Training Coaching Behavioral Expertise Evaluation Local School and District Teams/Demonstrations

  4. Role and commitment of trainers • Collaboration with Leadership Team • Provide overview presentations on SWPBS • Help form clusters of 5+ teams (within district, region) for training • Team with full representation • Coach • Local administrative support and funding • Deliver training to coaches and teams • Typically 4-6 days of on-site training (year 1); 2-4 days (year 2) • Collaborate on evaluation • Data collection, summary, use in decision-making • Collaborate with national network

  5. Trainer Skills/FTE • Knowledgeable about core content of SWPBS • Active experience as coach or team member in a school that has implemented SWPBS to criterion • Presentation skills • Use of PowerPoint, Video, Evaluation Tools • Use of assessment and evaluation data • Social skills • Time and ability to sustain implementation support (.10-.50 FTE) • Train in pairs: • Most Team/Coach training should be delivered by two Trainers. • Build/sustain relationships with coaches and teams.

  6. Activity:Rate your current skills/knowledge. Select 2 top requirements worthy of focus.

  7. Four Broad Considerations for Trainers • Know who you should be training • Know how to organize training material • Know how to deliver instruction • Know how to assess if you were effective.

  8. Who should you be Training? • Organize to train 5-10 teams together • All teams include administrator • Teams should include an identified coach • Clarify “internal” coach versus “external” coach • Teams should have a representative who has heard overview of SW-PBS • Teams should enter training with understanding of commitment • Multiple Days of training over two years Expectation that team meets at least every 2 weeks • 80% of faculty supporting effort

  9. Organizing Training Material: Building your curriculum • Always start by first defining what you want people to know and do differently as a function of training • Then, build a strategy for determining if you were successful. Outcome measure(s) • Develop presentation content and activities: • Initial presentation can be didactic • All other presentations should deliver no more than 30 min before application event (activity) • Increase rate of application events to build fluency.

  10. Organizing Training Material: Building your curriculum • How to use the Training Materials • Materials to pass out to participants • Assessment tools • PowerPoint slides • Research References • Focus on the Outcomes • Review the “key ideas” • Adapt the material to your personal experience

  11. Training Content

  13. Delivering training Establish credibility and connection * Engage participants within first 10 min • Define the main ideas • Present (a) ideas, (b) logic, (c) supporting evidence, documentation, examples. • Tie session ideas to overall SW-PBS ideas • Activities to establish outcome behaviors and build fluency • Opportunities for elaboration, clarification and revision (questions, examples from teams) • Tie content to published research

  14. Assessing Effects of Training • Self-assessment • Activities with permanent products • Curriculum matrix • Teaching plans • Working Smarter matrix • Self-Assessment Survey • Team Checklist, Benchmark of Quality • ODR data summaries • Ability to respond to “what is SWPBS?”
