Scaling Up SW PBS Implementation:Different Journeys to the Same Destination • Heather Peshak George, Ph.D. • APBS Conference, St. Louis, MO: March 26, 2010
Florida’s PBS Project • Our Mission • Increasing the capacity of Florida’s school districts to address problem behavior using positive behavior support through a Response to Intervention framework. • What we do… • Provide training and technical assistance to districts across the state in the development and implementation of positive behavior supports at the school-wide, targeted group, classroom and individual student levels
Exploration Phase • Is there a need for change? • What current practices and initiatives exist that are facilitators or barriers? • What is innovation and does it address our problem? • How do we plan for implementation? • Is the team ready to begin installation of innovation?
Installation Phase • What individuals have authority to reallocate resources/facilitate implementation and connect with state improvement plan? • Who will guide implementation? • What does implementation of the innovation involve?
Initial Implementation Phase • Who are initial implementers? • How do we begin implementation? • How do we monitor fidelity and outcomes?
Full Implementation Phase • How do we build local training/coaching capacity? • What resources do we need to add more schools? • How do we sustain fidelity and positive outcomes over time?
Innovation and Sustainability Phase • How do we braid innovation with new/existing initiatives? • How do we become more efficient and effective? • How do we share what we have learned?
Funding • IDEA Part B Discretionary Grant • Around 1997: $33,000/year • Current: Almost $1.8 million/year
Visibility • Before: • Present at every state conference • Special education • Expanded across disciplines • ABA, Safe Schools, RtI, Reading, School Psychologists, Superintendent, Evaluation • Now: • Present when requested or “invited”

Political Support and Policy • Expanded funding of project • State RtI Implementation Plan • Active member on the FL DOE’s State Transformation Team for RtI • Title of Project to include RtI:B • RtI • Bullying & Harassment Policy • Zero Tolerance
State Infrastructure State Management Team Role: Provide leadership and facilitate policy-level changes to support implementation of effective educational practice State Transformation Team Role: Analyze progress toward statewide efforts, recommend actions for improvement, and support District Based Leadership Teams DBLT to build the capacity of districts to implement evidence-based practices and to establish integrated RtI academic and behavior systems in each school District Based Leadership Team Role: Provide leadership, advisement, and training at the district level and assist schools in their implementation efforts School Based Leadership Team Role: Develop a school implementation plan. The school based team will become “trainers” and “coaches” for the school staff and will be responsible for school wide implementation Advisory Group Role: Provide on-going stakeholder input pp. 11-13 of the Statewide RtI Implementation Plan
District Responsibilities Based on self-assessment results, and in conjunction with the student progression plan and K-12 Comprehensive Reading Plan, develop an RtI implementation plan organized around building consensus, infrastructure, and implementation. Plans should also address: How current resources will be used to implement RtI and identify additional resources needed How stakeholders will be educated How stakeholders will be involved p. 8 of the Statewide RtI Implementation Plan
Alignment with Existing Initiatives The basic elements of RtI are required by NCLB and IDEA, therefore, they are included in all broad-based initiatives for schools striving to meet (AYP), such as: K-12 Reading Plan and Reading First Florida’s Continuous Improvement Model (FCIM) Florida’s Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) PS/RtI Pilot Project Bright Beginnings p. 1 of the Statewide RtI Implementation Plan
Tiered Model of School Supports & the Problem-Solving Process ACADEMIC and BEHAVIOR SYSTEMS Tier 3: Intensive, Individualized Interventions & Supports The most intense (increased time, narrowed focus, reduced group size) instruction and intervention based upon individual student need provided in addition to and aligned with Tier 1 & 2 academic and behavior instruction and supports.Tier 2: Targeted, Supplemental Interventions & Supports.More targeted instruction/intervention and supplemental support in addition to and aligned with the core academic and behavior curriculum. Tier 1: Core, Universal Instruction & Supports.General academic and behavior instruction and support provided to all students in all settings. FL RtI State Transformation Team, Dec. 2009)

higher implementing schools reported 37% fewer ODRs per 100 students
overall average difference of 40% across the five school years
overall average difference of 43% across the five school years
