11. Components of a School-wide Approach • an agreed upon andcommonapproachto discipline, • asmall number of positively statedexpectationsfor all students and staff,

12. Components of a School-wide Approach (con’t) • proceduresfor teaching these expectations to students, • a continuum of procedures forencouragingresponsible behavior as demonstrated by these expectations,

13. Components of a School-wide Approach (con’t) • a continuum of procedures for discouraging irresponsible or rule-violating behavior, and • procedures for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the discipline system on a regular and frequent basis.

16. KYCID Objectives • Enhance school ability to achieve proficiency by 2014 • Promote healthy school climate and effective school leadership • Involve families, schools, community and related agencies to understand and support the model

17. KYCID Objectives (con’t) • Promote social and emotional wellness of all children and youth • Use on-going data collection for decision-making on multiple levels • Support creation of local and regional capacity to implement and sustain the model

18. An effective school-wide system of discipline or positive behavioral interventions and supports is only as good as the structures and processes that are in place to support their sustained use.

19. Kentucky Implementation Model • Local Structure • School-based teams • District planning teams • Coaches (internal) • Regional structure • Coaches (external) • Technical Assistance • Area Coordinators • Statewide structure • Training & Technical Assistance • Evaluation & Dissemination • National Center Support

21. KYCID Support to Schools • Area Coordinators and Support Centers for West, East, North, Central and Louisville/ Lexington areas • Regional Training Calendar offered several times a year • Support from Special Education Cooperative behavior consultants and trained local school/district staff • Schools initiate process when ready and move at their own pace

22. Coordination with local community mental health centers and expansion of school based mental health services • Coordination with the National Center for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) • Opportunity for schools to utilize expert consultative services from a behavior cadre network • Nationally recognized training on Bully Prevention Programs from certified Olweus trainers

23. Self-Assessment • Schools complete self-assessment prior to beginning training Teams must understand that things not in place at initiation of training will be emphasized as areas needed for successful implementation.

24. Self-Assessment • Some items are non-negotiable, these are: funding support, coaching support, time allocated for meetings and evaluation • Staff buy in, as demonstrated by EBS results, must be at a sufficient enough level for progress to be anticipated. Otherwise, acceptance for training may be postponed until staff better understands expectations of the process

25. Self-Assessment Components • Leadership Team is developed with representation from appropriate range of stakeholders • Team initiates 3-5 year prevention based action plan • Team defines regular meeting schedule and process

26. Self-Assessment Components (con’t) • Funding sources are identified to cover activities for at least three years (subs and mileage) • Strategies are identified and implemented to ensure stakeholders are aware of activities and accomplishments

27. Self-Assessment Components (con’t) • Student behavior and discipline or school culture and climate is one of the top three goals for the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan • Leadership team reports to the local Board of Education and KYCID on the activities and outcomes related to PBIS implementation

28. Self-Assessment Components (con’t) • Participation and support from building principal is maintained • Leadership team participates in KYCID professional development opportunities • District/school provides coach who is employed by the district to help build and sustain PBIS

29. Self-Assessment Components (con’t) • Coach meets at least monthly with leadership team and participates in quarterly coaches training • School participates in evaluation activities for KYCID (SET, EBS, etc.) • Leadership team evaluates the extent to which their action plan has been implemented

30. Self-Assessment Components (con’t) • School-based information systems (e.g., data collection and analysis) are in place • At least quarterly, there is dissemination, celebration & acknowledgement of outcomes and accomplishments

31. Use of Data • Continuous review of information and data • Office discipline referrals • Attendance • Tardiness • Academics • Assignment completion • Bus behavior • Student/staff surveys

32. Use of Data • Ask specific questions of the data • What • Where • When • Who • Why • How often all to guide school-wide decision making.

33. Main Data Components • Effective Behavior Support Survey (EBS) • Office Disciplinary Referral Report • School-wide Information System (SWIS) • School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) • School surveys

34. Effective Behavior Support • Survey examines • School-wide discipline system • Non-classroom management systems • Classroom management systems • Systems for individual students engaging in chronic behaviors

35. Effective Behavior Support • The EBS Survey is designed to help schools gather staff perceptions about behavior support systems and practices in their building. This survey is used during the initial stages of planning and annually thereafter.

36. School-wide Information System • The School-Wide Information System (SWIS) is a web-based information system designed to help school personnel to use office referral data to design school-wide and individual student interventions.

37. School-wide Information System The three primary elements of SWIS are: • an efficient system for gathering information • a web-based computer application for data entry and report generation • a practical process for using information for decision making

38. School-wide Information System • The three elements give school personnel the capability to evaluate individual student behavior, the behavior of groups of students, behaviors occurring in specific settings, and behaviors occurring during specific time periods of the school day.

39. School-Wide Information System • SWIS reports indicate times and/or locations prone to elicit problem behaviors, and allow teachers and administrators to shape school-wide environments to maximize students' academic and social achievements.

40. School-wide Information System • The “Big 5” • # referrals per day per month • # referrals by student • # referrals by location • # and kinds of problem behaviors • # problem behaviors by time of day

41. Total # ODR per Month

42. # ODR per Day per Month

44. Where?

45. What?

46. School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) • Research quality tool for assessing Universal/school wide positive behavior supports • External person(s) spends ~ 2 hrs at school reviewing documents, interviewing staff and students • Implementation is occurring when score is 80% of total score and 80% on teaching behavior subscale of test.

47. School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) • Assesses features that are in place • Determine annual goals for team • Evaluates on-going efforts • Design and revise procedures • Compare efforts form year to year

48. KYCID Approach Awareness Session:Schools attend to learn expectations for participation Initial Training:Schools have agreed to non-negotiable items and attend a total of four days overview of process Flexible training opportunity:Using data- based decision-making, determine the next best step for each school to take

49. Additional Training Capacity Building Focus • Coaches • Initial preparation • Ongoing sustainability and support • Administrator Training • How to prepare self and school • How to support process and sustainability
