1. NEPBIS TOTDay 5 NorthEast PBIS Training of Trainers (NEPBIS TOT) June 5, 2018 Brandi Simonsen, Jen Freeman, Susannah Everett, & Adam Feinberg

3. Introductions & Training Updates

4. General feedback for FAQ videos: • Greatest areas of improvement in FAQs:  • Providing more meaningful and frequent OTRs • Assessing background/experience of the group • Thinking about ways to engage participants and promote action planning/implementation • Areas for continued growth on FAQs: • There were still a lot of “Does that help?/Does that answer your question?” • Switching to a follow up question that is more open ended and could check for understanding and promote increased application of content would be beneficial. • Use FAQ as a way to review big ideas/content and create OTRs

5. General feedback for “Big Idea” Videos: • Areas of greatest improvement in 10-min segments: • Improved fluency in content • Better OTRs (less superficial) • Additional opportunities for participants to take a moment to “action plan” • Areas for continued growth on 10-min segments: • Improving fluency with content (still some reading from slides and feeling the need to review all bullets on a slide) • Navigating what you said you’d get through in 10 mins • “Landing” on the big ideas (George’s "say what you are going to say, say it, say what you said” framework for presenting) • Build in additional opportunities to apply the skill

6. General feedback for Individualized TOT plans and Content Homework: • Excellent work on TOT plans • Purposefully addressing skills and areas of need • Including thoughtful action steps to address needs (e.g., using choose your own adventure homework to address areas of need.) • Remember, TOT plans (like IEPs!) should target more than 1 goal and less than 6  It is an opportunity to do a personalized PD plan for where you’d like to see yourself this time next year. • Re-visit some basic instructional design principles/sequencing content and design of examples and non-examples.   • Be careful about spending too much time on non-examples • Purposely plan when an OTR would be helpful instead of just throwing

7. General feedback for Individualized TOT plans and Content Homework: • Continue to build fluency in • Translating theoretical concepts into user-friendly language • ABA principles (e.g., general case programming) • Consider both content and process when completing your choose your own adventure homework • In addition to annotating slides with content or strategies to explain, to try and think/annotate also about incorporating effective training skills (e.g., where would an OTR fit best?, where would a good place be for an example or two; or how might assess for understanding?

27. Chapter V (Building Behavioral Capacity)

28. First, provide an overview of function with examples and non-examples. • Second, demonstrate how that is applied to designing supports across tiers. • Throughout, emphasize applications of the content in Tier 1!

29. Understanding the Function of Behavior V.A

30. Function matters!

31. V.A

32. All Behavior Serves a Function: get or obtain avoid or escape aversive activities, tangible items, attention, or sensory stimulation • desired activities, • tangible items, • attention, or • sensory stimulation V.A

33. What function?

34. What function? I’m sending my whole class to the office!

35. Functions Pos Reinf Neg Reinf V.A

36. Non-examples of Function-Based Approach • “Lantana, you skipped 2 school days, so we’re going to suspend you for 2 more.” • “Phloem, I’m taking your book away because you obviously aren’t ready to learn.” • “You want my attention?! I’ll show you attention,…let’s take a walk down to the office & have a little chat with the principal.” “Function” = outcome, result, purpose, consequence

37. To Determine Function of Behavior Antecedent Behavior Consequence Based on observing patterns across time, we can infer the probable function of behavior. V.A

38. Let’s practice During teacher lecture, Martha repeatedly and loudly calls out (without raising her hand). Each time, the teacher gives her a look, a redirection, or occasionally calls on her. Antecedent? Behavior? Consequence? What Function? Get/obtain Attention

39. Let’s practice When given a difficult writing assignment Susannah regularly throws her pencil down, rips up her paper, and puts her head down. Her teacher ignores this behavior (and Susannah never completes her assignment). Antecedent? Behavior? Consequence? What Function? Escape Task

40. Let’s practice In the hallway with peers, Tim often teases, trips, or pushes a student who talks and walks a little slower than others. Each time, Tim’s peers laugh and pat him on the back. Antecedent? Behavior? Consequence? What Function? Peer attention

41. Let’s practice When the environment gets too loud, Corey typically slaps his head with an open palm, rocks vigorously, and eventually runs out of the room. Teacher walks him to a quiet office. Antecedent? Behavior? Consequence? What Function? Escape noise (stimulation)

42. By understanding function, we can intervene more effectively. Antecedent Behavior Consequence We can make simple tweaks to the antecedents, behaviors, and consequences, to prevent, teach, and respond, respectively. V.A

44. Let’s practice During teacher lecture, Martha repeatedly and loudly calls out (without raising her hand). Each time, the teacher gives her a look, a redirection, or occasionally calls on her. Prevent? Teach? Respond/Reinforce? Simple strategies like this are part of good “Tier 1” responses to minor disruptive behavior.

45. Let’s practice When given a difficult writing assignment Susannah regularly throws her pencil down, rips up her paper, and puts her head down. Her teacher ignores this behavior (and Susannah never completes her assignment) Prevent? Teach? Respond/Reinforce? With these simple tweaks, we’ve made it less likely for her to engage in disruptive behavior to escape difficult tasks.

46. Let’s practice In the hallway with peers, Tim often teases, trips, or pushes a student who talks and walks a little slower than others. Each time, Tim’s peers laugh and pat him on the back. Prevent? Teach? Respond/Reinforce? With these strategies, we’ve (a) increased the likelihood of respectful behavior and (b) minimized attention for disrespectful behavior. (This may start to look like Tier 2.)

47. Let’s practice When the environment gets too loud, Corey typically slaps his head with an open palm, rocks vigorously, and eventually runs out of the room. Teacher walks him to a quiet office. Prevent? Teach? Respond/Reinforce? With these strategies, we’ve (a) minimized noise when possible, (b) taught a skill to reduce noise, and (c) made that skill more effective. (This may start to look like Tier 3.)

48. TAKE AWAY MESSAGE We should consider the function of behavior when we design plans across all tiers of support.

49. Efficiently walk them thru an activity on understanding function. • Again, emphasize applications of function in Tier 1.

50. Activity:Function of Behavior • Work as team for 15 min • Consider a common problem behavior in your non-classroom or classroom settings (or a common challenge with staff!) • Describe the “ABCs” • Identify strategies to prevent, teach, and respond/reinforce • Report (<1 min.) main features of your example
