About Us • Stacy Whittaker, M. Ed. • Erica Ferran
Before you begin… • How well does PBS work in your school? • How do you know? - # of incentives handed out? - SET score? - Low # of referrals? - Screening measures? UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Before you begin… • How many students are you targeting for Tier II and Tier III level interventions? • More than 10%-15% is too high! UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Behavioral Systems TIER 3 Intensive, Individual, Interventions Individual Students; Assessment-based; Intense, durable procedures REACTIVE 5% 15% TIER 2 Targeted Interventions Some students (at-risk) High efficiency, Rapid response 80% TIER 1 Universal Interventions All settings; all students; preventive; proactive PREVENTIVE UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Behavioral Systems Tier 1 80% All students/Preventive/Proactive Problem-Solving Committee (e.g., ABIT) Universal Screening Universal Interventions PBS, PBS Stations, SSBD UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008

Data are Everywhere • PBS data • Universal Screening results (e.g., SSBD) • Office disciplinary referrals (ODRs) • Attendance / tardiness • Percentage of work completed • Grades • Frequency counts • Direct Observation UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Behavioral Interventions are successful ONLY if… • Implemented with Integrity/Fidelity • Monitored!!! • Implemented with Consistency • As important as teaching academic skills • NOT a quick fix! • Data are reviewed & graphed!!! UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Reducing Non-Compliance and Aggression What is it? • Developed as a “targeted” intervention (Tier II) • The teacher models the appropriate behavior. • I do, we do, you do. • Student meets with the teacher at end of day to review his/her performance. • The teacher provides supportive feedback. • May or may not be tied to rewards, reinforcers, or consequences UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Preparation • Identify the specific behaviors • With the team and the student • Determine the goal the student must reach. • How many smiley faces (K-2) or points (3-6) • 65% is a good starting point • Determine if and what the incentive will be. • Will the student earn a reward for meeting his goal? • What will the reward be?
Procedure • Morning Meeting: • Model the Behavior, role-play the behavior, have the student act it out. • Discuss daily goal. • Throughout the day: • Teacher provides supportive feedback at teachable moments. • End of the day: • Review the student’s performance. • Provide supportive feedback.
Precision Command • What is it? • is a precise verbal statement made by staff to enhance student compliance. • What is compliance? • Student compliance is typically defined as following directions within 10 seconds.
Preparation • Check the level of positive responses to students. (The ratio of positive comments to reprimands/negative comments should be about 4 to 1) • Preplan a set of positive and negative consequences. • Design a set of classroom rules. The first rule in the list should be, “Follow your instructor’s directions immediately.” • Explain the precision command process • to students before starting. http://www.usu.edu/teachall/text/behavior/LRBIpdfs/Precision.pdf
Procedure • Give a polite, effective command. • Do not use and invitation, question, or threat (student name), please do the even math problems on page 228. • Give command from a short distance (3 feet) • Look the student in the eye • Soft, firm voice • Non-emotional voice • Allow 3-5 seconds to comply • If the student complies, give praise.
Procedure Continued • Give a second command using signal words. • Allow 3-5 seconds to comply. • Use a preplanned, unpleasant consequence. • Appropriate • Restate the second command. • Average student should comply 70%-80% of the time. A problematic student is compliant less than 50 % of the time.
Check-In Check-Out (CICO) Purpose: • Increase prompts for appropriate behavior • Increase adult feedback • Enhance structure through school day • Improve feedback to families • Increase student accountability • Improve motivation (give students a “jump start”) • Increase / decrease specifically targeted behaviors UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Check-In Check-Out (CICO) What kinds of students? • Need structure, limits, boundaries • Need ongoing supervision • Unmotivated • Sad / anxious • ODRs • Absences / Tardiness • Can be a Tier 2 OR part of a Tier 3 intervention UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
CICO-Preparation • 1. WHICH STUDENTS? • Review office discipline referrals (ODRs), SSBD data, behavior reports • Students with at least 1 out-of-school SUSPENSION (Mandate in one system) • “At-Risk” on SSBD • Other students with “red flags” UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Check-In Check-Out (CICO) Considerations: • Identification of salient rewards is necessary (These typically change over time.) • “Check-In” frequency will vary depending on student needs (1x/day v. 10x/day) • “Check-In” and “Check-Out” persons need to be consistent UNO-PAM/RtI, Copyright, 2008
Check-in Check-out (CICO) • Morning “Check-In” • Discuss behavior /point goals • Point card given • Point card to each teacher • Beginning or end of period (school specific) • Teacher Feedback - End of period • End-of-Day “Check-Out” - review performance /problem solving - Was goal met? 5) Point card to Parent - send copy of card home with student - parent initials and card is returned following day
