How is it working? • H.U.G. students’ rate of academic growth shows a significant increase with this support. Example: oral reading fluency of 2nd grade HUG students increased 50% as compared to the 21.8% increase of the general population. • On average, 85% of students met their goal daily. • Most H.U.G. students remain on the program for approx. 3 to 6 months and then graduate to the “Personal Challenge” or “Self-Manager” level. • Students participating in H.U.G generally experience a reduction in office discipline referrals of at least 40%.

. . . and what we’ve learned • Data-based decision making does work • The H.U.G. philosophy has become an integral part of how all staff works with every student • With less or no dollars, it remains a priority • Students are finding success across all boundaries in their lives
Critical Elements For Success • Use data to look at the WHOLE child • Find as many school staff as possible to celebrate ANY goal successes • The check-in person MUST be positive and consistent • Individualize plans and rewards with creativity, flexibility and authenticity
Is the H.U.G. Program right for your school? • Faculty and staff commitment • Are there students with multiple referrals? • Are staff willing to commit 5 min per day per student? • Is H.U.G. a reasonable option for you? • H.U.G. is designed to work with students needing “yellow zone” interventions • H.U.G. does NOT replace need for individualized supports within and outside of the classroom. • Team Available • H.U.G. Coordinator (reviews data weekly) • H.U.G. Check-in Person (mornings and afternoons) • Intervention Team (meets at least monthly) to review progress of the intervention Adapted from: Horner, Sugai, Todd, Rossetto-Dickey, Anderson, Scott 2007
H.U.G. Implementation • What are the starting roadblocks that may surface for your school? • Using the resources you have, how might you overcome these challenges • Group sharing of solutions.
Questions to take back to your school • Who could be your H.U.G coordinator? • What resources does your school have to support H.U.G.? • What student data do you collect that can be used in making decisions for H.U.G.? • How will youget commitment or buy-in from staff?
