Introduction to the Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ)

1. Introduction to the Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) Revised version of the presentation given at the Summer 2012 Minnesota PBIS Institute

2. School-wide Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) • Lists 53 benchmarks of PBIS programs that address 10 critical elements of PBIS implementation • Completed by school teams on an annual basis • Assess how schools score on a 107 point scale with regard to developing and implementing school-wide PBIS

3. School-wide Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) • Useful in developing action plans for following school year • Encourage team discussion of strengths and weaknesses and provides ideas for action planning • One of the measures used by MDE to identify model schools

4. Criteria for qualifying to complete the BoQ • Score of 80 for overall Implementation on most recent SET (within 3 years) • Out of training (next school year – cohorts 1-6) Local Demonstration with Fidelity wilderresearch.org

5. Why learn about the BoQ now? wilderresearch.org

6. Timeline for 2012-2013 school year • January 2013: Notification sent to schools qualifying for the BoQ • February 2013: BoQ training, sent by Wilder Research • February-May 2013: Complete BoQ and submit scores on pbisassessment.org wilderresearch.org

7. Three components of the BoQ • Team Member Rating Form • Completed by team members independently • Returned to coach • Scoring Form • Completed by coach using Scoring Guide • Used for reporting back to team • Scoring Guide • Describes procedure for completing BoQ • Includes a rubric for scoring each item

8. STEP 0 • Complete BoQ training • This year, two short training videos • Training format may be different next year wilderresearch.org

9. STEP 1 • PBIS Coach uses Scoring Guide to complete the School-Wide Benchmarks of Quality: Scoring Form

12. STEP 2 • PBIS Coach asks every PBIS Team Member to complete the School-Wide Benchmarks of Quality Team Member Rating Form independently • Do not give a Scoring Guide to team members • Giving a deadline is helpful (e.g. submit at next month’s meeting, within 1-2 weeks, etc.)

13. STEP 2 • Coach collects Team Member Rating Forms • Coach tallies all responses provided by team members using the Team Member Rating Form: Tally Sheet

14. STEP 2: Scoring team member forms • For items with a range of 0 to 1: • 1 = In Place • 0 = Needs Improvement or Not in Place • For items with a range of 0 to 2: • 2 = In Place • 1 = Needs Improvement • 0 = Not in Place • For items with a range of 0 to 3: • 3 = In Place • 2 or 1 = Needs Improvement • 0 = Not in Place

17. STEP 3 • PBIS Coach places a “√” next to any item where there is a discrepancy between the coach’s rating and the item’s most frequently responded by the team.

18. Benchmarks practice:Scoring Form, Scoring Guide

19. STEP 3 • The coach will then complete the Team Summary on page 3 of the Benchmarks of Quality Scoring Formrecording areas of discrepancy, strength, and weakness.

20. Areas of Discrepancy Administrator does not actively support the process 1 ++, ++, ++ 0 Areas of Strength Areas in Need of Development

21. Adjusting scores in areas of discrepancy • If upon sharing areas of discrepancy, the item and the adjusted final score should be recorded on the Scoring Form • It is recommended that changes be noted with a different color ink

22. Adjusting scores after discussion

23. STEP 4 • Coach will report back to the team using the Team Reportpage of the Benchmarks of Quality: Scoring Form • Coach leads team through a discussion of the identified areas of strength and weakness • This information should be conveyed as “constructive feedback” to assist with action planning

24. STEP 5 • Coach adds up all the points on the Benchmarks of Quality: Scoring Form • Coach submits scores on pbisassessment.org • 70% score or higher equals implementing PBIS with fidelity (75 points or higher)
