Early Stage Interventions: Tier 1 Building A Continuum of Positive Behavior Support
Characteristics ofEarly Stage Intervention • The Classroom Teacher as Problem Solver • A place to begin… • Focus is on applying easier interventions • Purposeful sequence
Red Flags…First Alerts! • Failing grades in 2 or more classes • More than 3 disciplinary referrals/semester • More than 6 after-school detentions • Chronic absenteeism • Student request for assistance • Teacher request for assistance
Tier I: Utilizing Early Stage Interventions Informal Identification of Problem Behavior • What? One or more adults confer with a student about a particular concern and develop a plan for resolving it. • Why? The student may not know what is expected or may be unaware of the teacher’s concern. It’s a great place to start because… Implement Intervention A: Planned Discussion Planned Discussion

Y Continue monitoring progress and fade support as indicated Implement Intervention A: Planned Discussion N Implement Intervention B: Academic Assistance AND/OR Intervention C: Goal Setting N Implement Intervention D: Data Collection/Debriefing AND/OR Intervention E: Increasing Positive Interactions Is it Effective? Y Continue monitoring progress and fade support as indicated
Tier I: Utilizing Early Stage Interventions Positive Interactions Meet Duane
Tier I: Utilizing Early Stage Interventions Positive Interactions Step 1: Plan more positive interactions Step 2: Meet with the student Step 3: Follow the plan. Meet Duane
Tier I: Utilizing Early Stage Interventions Continue monitoring progress and fade support as indicated Is it Effective? Y Implement Intervention D: Data Collection/Debriefing AND/OR Intervention E: Positive Interactions N Implement Intervention F: STOIC Analysis Why is the behavior chronically occurring? Manipulate STOIC variables as indicated by student data Continue monitoring progress and fade support as indicated Move to TIER 2: Targeted Collaborative Planning N Is it Effective? Y
Tier I: Utilizing Early Stage Interventions STOIC Analysis: Structure for Success Teach Expectations Observe & Monitor Interact Positively Correct Fluently
Tier I: Utilizing Early Stage Interventions STOIC Analysis: • Step 1: What is the function of the behavior? Why is it occurring? Student may lack ability/awareness to meet target expectations. Student is trying to “get” something: adult/peer attention, power or control competing reinforcers Student is trying to escape/avoid something overly difficult or overly simple work discomfort
Tier I: Utilizing Early Stage Interventions STOIC Analysis: • Step 2: Plan and implement a STOIC intervention. Use the STOIC framework to build a comprehensive intervention. Structure for Success Teach Expectations Observe & Monitor Interact Positively Correct Fluently
Every teacher should be trained to plan for and implement the above Interventions!
Duration/Intensity Positive Behavior Support Continuum Intervention design Universal
Keeping Our Purpose in Focus Given… the function and intensity of a student’s behavior Design & Monitor… an intervention that matches the student’s intensity of need We must employ the least intrusive intervention which has the highest likelihood for success…
