  11. Data? What Data? • The “Big 5”: to define problems and monitor effectiveness of interventions • Specific ODR data to answer previously defined questions • Team Implementation Checklist/Form A: to assess critical features of implementation • SET, IPI, and BOQ to assess school-wide systems that support implementation

  12. “The Big Five” • Do we have a problem? • What is the behavior problem? • When is the problem behavior occurring? • Where is the problem behavior occurring? • Which students are problematic?

  19. Using Form A: Team Implementation Checklist • Initially, during early stages of implementation, use it to assess status of implementation • Thereafter, review only those items “partially in place” or “not in place” • Use to assess progress and compare start-of-year to end-of-year statuses

  20. Review PBIS Action Plan • Maybe not monthly, but periodically • Monitor likelihood of achieving goals • Problem-solve obstacles

  21. Using SET, IPI, and BOQ Data • Pre- and post-PBIS implementation assessment of critical features • Means by which to target areas in need of attention; goal-setting • Look for “causes of celebration”
