2. Behavioral Expectations

3. Guiding Questions • Are your PBIS Tier 2 interventions aligned to the critical features? How do you know? • Are your PBIS systems culturally responsive? How do you know? • Are your PBIS Tier 2 group interventions effective? How do you know? • How are you documenting the integrity/fidelity of the interventions? • What data needs to be shared with all staff? How often? Why?

4. PBIS 3 Tiered System of Support Teams UniversalTeam Secondary Systems Team Problem Solving Team Tertiary Systems Team Uses Process data; determines overall intervention effectiveness Uses Process data; determines overall intervention effectiveness Standing team; uses FBA/BIP process for one youth at a time Plans SW & Class-wide supports Universal Support CICO Brief FBA/BIP Complex FBA/BIP Wraparound GWIF CICO w/ Individualized Features OR Mentoring SAIG 1/2014 – Adapted from PBIS Illinois

5. 10 Critical Features of Tier 2 Interventions • Intervention linked directly to school wide expectations and/or academic goals. • Intervention continuously available for student participation. • Intervention is implemented within 3 school days of determining the student is in need of the intervention • Intervention can be modified based on assessment and/or outcome data

6. Critical Features continued • Intervention includes structured prompts for what to do in relevant situations. • Intervention results in students receiving positive and/or corrective feedback from staff. • Intervention includes a school-home communication exchange system at least weekly.

7. Critical Features continued 8. Orientation process and introduction to materials is provided for students as they begin the intervention 9. Orientation to and materials provided for staff/sub’s/volunteers who have students using the intervention. Ongoing information shared with staff. 10. Opportunities to practice new skills are provided daily.

8. Outcomes Academic & behavior targets that are endorsed and emphasized by students, families, and educators Practices Curricula, instruction, interventions, and strategies that are evidence-based Data Information that is used to identify status, need for change, and effects of interventions Systems Supports that are needed to enable the accurate and durable implementation of the practices of PBIS

9. CICO & SAIG Checkpoint/Sharing • Where are you with implementation of CICO and SAIG groups? • What is working? • What issues have you resolved? • What questions do you have?

10. Groups with Individualized Features GWIF

11. Roles & Responsibilities

12. Reverse Request for Assistance Reverse Request for Assistance: Interventions Change (Addressed to Student’s Teacher) Student Name: ________________________________________ Grade: _________ Date: __________________ IEP (circle one) YesNo Teacher: _____________________________________ Based on preliminary data, it has come to our attention that the _____________________ Intervention (CICO) is NOT having a significantly positive effect on your student (i.e. he/she “is not responding” well to the intervention). Please identify which additional support/s, you feel, would be the best fit for this youth. 1) ____No change in behavior support requested at this time, please continue CICO. 2) Social/Academic Instructional Groups: ____Problem-Solving: To learn replacement behaviors for fighting, arguing etc. (externalizing behaviors) ____Pro-social Skills: To learn replacement behaviors for avoidance, withdrawal etc. (internalizing behaviors) Academic: ____Academic Behavior: To learn replacement behaviors for calling out, getting out of seat, behaviors related to homework etc. ____Academic skills/content area 3) Individualized Check-In/Check-Out: Same CICO with one or more of the following changes: ____Change location of Check-In and/or Check-Out ____Change Check-In/Check-Out person (change adult or use a peer instead) ____Change Check-In and/or Check-Out time (or add addition time/s) 4) ____ Mentoring (Focus is on connection/relationship between one adult and youth, designed/individualized based on youth needs) Thank you!

13. Two Types of Groups with Individualized Features • CICO with individualized features • Mentoring

14. GWIF CICO with Individualized Features

15. CICO with Individualized Features • Adds support to general CICO • Used after general CICO has been tried for predetermined amount of time (i.e. 4-6 weeks) and student has not met pre-determined goal set for ALL students • Teachers choose more individualized options on the Reverse Request for Assistance form

16. CICO with Individualized Features • Tier 2 team designs the options for the school and communicates them to all staff • The Reverse Request for Assistance form lists the specified options from which to choose

17. CICO with Individualized Features • Uses the same DPR as used in general CICO • Designed to be quick and efficient

18. Examples of CICO with individualized features • Extra check in time before/after lunch with facilitator or other staff member • Peer accompanies student to check in at beginning of the day and check out at end of the day • Check in with supportive adult prior to a difficult class period

19. GWIF Mentoring

20. 5 Types of Mentoring(School-based or community-based) • Traditional one-to-one mentoring • Group mentoring • Team mentoring • Peer mentoring • E-mentoring

21. School-based Mentoring • Most common form of mentoring • Matches need to happen early in the school-year • One year commitment is the norm • Frequent contact between mentors & mentees

22. Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring • Recruitment • Screening • Training • Matching • Monitoring & support • Closure

23. Mentoring School-based Mentoring • 64% of students developed more positive attitudes towards school • 60% improved relationships with adults • 56% improved relationships with peers • 55% were better able to express their feelings • 64% developed higher levels of self-confidence • 62% were more likely to trust their teachers • Less likely than peers to repeat a grade • Average number of unexcused absences dropped Source: Curtis, T., & Hansen-Schwoebel, K.

25. Data-based Decision Making

26. Data-based decision-making • Data is used to monitor the effectiveness of the intervention • To make decisions regarding the continuum of the intervention • Intervention integrity data is monitored by the PBIS Tier 2 team

27. Data Tools • 10 Critical Features Checklist • Tier 2/3 Tracking Tool • CICO (measuredeffects.com) database • Benchmarks of Advanced Tiers (BAT) • New national Implementation Inventory (replaces the PoI) • ISSET (External evaluation tool)

28. Tier 2/3 Tracking Tool

29. Planning for a PBIS Tier 2 Team Meeting • Record data on Tier 2/3 Tracking Tool: • Number of students responding • Send RRFA to teachers of all students not responding • Number of new students potentially entering the intervention based upon the data-decision rule • Repeat for SAIG, GWIF, Brief FBA/BIP • If less than 70% of students are responding to any of the interventions, the Tier 2 team must review the integrity of the intervention and make necessary adjustments.

30. FAQ #1 Q. Do we have to start with CICO first if a student is immediately exhibiting higher needs? A. No. You can place a student at the level of intervention that meets the intensity of the problem behavior. CICO, et al should be included as part of the layers of intervention.

31. FAQ #2 Q. We have community groups willing to provide mentoring to our students. Should we use them? A. Community partnerships can provide great resources, relationships, and diversity for your students. However, safety and evidence-based practices are first and foremost. Follow district guidelines on background checks, compare community programs to the 10 Critical Features, and inquire what data outcomes will be kept. What other questions do you have?

32. What are your next steps? • Review your data including Tracking Tool • Add tasks to MAP • Revisit Guiding Questions • Select GWIF coordinators/facilitators • Develop accompanying documents • Request for assistance • Reverse request for assistance • Develop a written document summarizing your systems processes for each intervention • Orientation materials • Plan staff orientation/training on GWIF

33. The Next Training Series is… • FBA/BIP The RtI Facilitators are currently participating in this training series in order to train teams when demonstrating readiness.
