  1. Think Sheets: A Tool for Problem-Solving and Data Collection 2nd Annual Regional Conference June 30, 2011

  2. Universal Approaches to Discipline • Two Approaches • School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SW-PBIS) • Social Emotional Learning (SEL) • Align and integrate these approaches to create prevention interventions that produce meaningful behavioral changes at the whole-school level Osher, Bear, Sprague, & Doyle, 2010

  3. Presenters Individual, Intensive (FEW) Anne Flanagan Centre Ridge ES Jamee Kelley Laurel Ridge ES Addison Smith Rolling Valley ES Susan Rismiller Saratoga ES Kathy McQuillan Fairfax County Public Schools FBA/ BIP Targeted Group (Some) Social Skills Groups Check In, Check Out Responsive Classroom Universal (ALL) • SR&R Character Education SW-PBIS

  4. Problem-Solving(Second Step, 2002) • Identify the problem. • Brainstorm possible solutions. • Evaluate each solution. • Is it safe? • Is it fair? • How might other feel about it? • Will it work? • Select, plan, and try the solution. • Evaluate whether the solution worked.

  5. Teaching:The THINK Sheet Dialogue • Give time to calm • Provide quiet place to problem-solve • Complete “Think Sheet” • Review with student using a neutral tone • Emphasize evaluating their solutions • Safe? • Other’s feelings? • Fair? • Workable? • Catch them using their solution and acknowledge

  6. Let’s Try It Take a Think Sheet • Stand up • Hand Up • Pair Up • Choose Role • Student-Teacher • Role-play • Problem-Solving dialogue Stand Up-Hand Up-Pair Up

  7. Why THINK Sheets?Challenges and SuccessesHow do THINK Sheets Work?

  8. Rolling Valley ES • 590 students, grades K-6 • Began PBIS in fall of 2006 • Began using think sheets that year because it was already part of the school’s program • Implementation • Successes- most staff were on board from the beginning • Challenges- a lot of work to start (creating everything)

  9. Rolling Valley ES • Restorative practices modified the think sheets three years ago • Added questions- • how were others affected? • what am I going to do to make it right? • what is my plan to make sure this doesn’t happen again? • Teachers conferencing with students about their actions

  10. RVES: Current Practices K-3 think sheet 4-6 think sheet

  11. RVES: Current Practices • New this year (2010-2011) • Added teacher conference check box • Started tracking think sheet data through PBIS data monitoring tool • New next year (2011-2012) • Sending copy home for parents to sign and return • More parent communication- starting at Back to School night

  14. Laurel Ridge ES • 840 students K-6 • Began PBIS in 2008 • Think Sheets were not a part of initial program • Changes this year • Standardizing thinks sheets for each grade level • Develop a common language • Parent Initiative for 2011-2012!

  15. LRES Think Sheets • Think Sheets based on our “P.A.W.S.” Program • Not all grades use consistently • Focus for 2011-2012 • Each grade level made their own Think Sheet. • Based on the age/developmental level of their students.

  16. Grade 5 Think Sheet

  17. Think Sheet What happened? Comments: Signatures: Teacher____________ Student____________ Parent__________ • First Grade • Think Sheet • Room for students to • draw a picture • Teacher, student, and • parent signature

  18. Saratoga ES: ED Program • 35 students k-6th grade, 4 classrooms • Crisis Resource , ½ time social worker, full time school psychologist, therapeutic art and music, inclusive PE • Defined step-by-step process for working through behavior issues: “TUNE UP” • Think Sheets facilitate the discussion and planning stage of this process.

  19. THINK SHEETS are sometimes used as a preventative measure. We use these “specialized” sheets • At the start of each day • Similar to a Check-In activity • At the beginning of a challenging activity • For example, before Field Day or an Assembly Used before OR after, THINK SHEETS facilitate discussion, planning, teaching, and learning.

  20. Differentiation is key to success. 1. Draw OR write? Or scribe? 2. Explain what happened in sequence OR focus on identifying problem behaviors. 3. Concentrate on identifying alternative behaviors OR exploring a particularalternative behavior

  21. We explicitly taught these expectations/ behaviors, then reviewed them each morning. • Betty’S PERSONALIZED • “GOOD DAY” PLAN • DATE:___________ • This is my plan for making this a GOOD DAY: • 1. Be in my own space. ____ • 2. MYOB ____ • 3. No instigating peers. ____ • 4. Show teachers cooperation. ____ • I am planning on these “good things” today: • This might be hard for me:

  22. THINK Sheets as a Data Collection Tool • Replace minors/reports • Student/Grade • Date /Time • Referring Staff • Problem Behavior • Location • Person Involved • Probable Motivation • Analyze monthly • PBIS Leadership Team • Grade Level Team • Collaborative Learning Team (CLT) • Use to intervene early

  23. Things we’ve learned. . . • Teaching, Teaching, Teaching. . . • Train all staff on problem-solving dialogue • Teach students the problem-solving process • Train parents/guardians in the process • STRESS- teaching not punishment • Allow choice of format to gain staff buy-in • Intervene early with nonresponders
